Nissan has revealed its second electric vehicle concept in preparation for the Japan Mobility Show 2023, and this time it’s all about outdoor enthusiasts.

Named the Hyper Adventure Concept, the zero-emission show car follows the Hyper Urban Concept and features a pair of traditional front doors as well as a pair of butterfly rear doors.

Nissan says the blue crossover can become the perfect companion for an outdoorsman, whether for a weekend trip to the local mountains or a months-long journey in remote areas, using its large-capacity battery and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capability.

The Japanese carmaker won't disclose the capacity of the high-voltage battery, but says its V2X capability means it can export power to everything from a simple kettle to make a hot cup of tea, to a home (via vehicle-to-home, or V2H), and even to the grid via vehicle-to-grid (V2G). If the battery has enough juice, that is.

Design-wise, the Hyper Adventure has “dynamic body panels that express activity” and a front spoiler that redirects airflow through it, increasing aerodynamic performance, Nissan claims. All four tires, as well as the front and rear bumpers, are outfitted with crampons to help the car drive through snowy areas with ease.

At the back, there’s a set of automatically extendable and retractable steps that can come in handy when putting heavy snow shoes on. The rear bench seat can also rotate 180 degrees to make for a comfortable sitting position when preparing for a trek.

The interior’s unique features and cabin space are designed to make driving in all situations easy and comfortable. The instrument panel connects to the bottom of the windshield, serving as a screen with a wide field of view – as if the body of the vehicle is transparent - and seamlessly connects the space inside and outside the car. 

The interior also boasts cargo space for outdoor equipment such as tents, skis, or even a kayak. The rear bench seat is distinctive, as it can rotate 180 degrees on an axle and create a comfortable sitting area that faces out of the vehicle’s rear. This feature, that includes automatic extendable and retractable steps, comes in handy when camping, getting ready for a day of skiing, or taking in a scenic view.

The brand's e-4ORCE electric all-wheel-drive system is also present, allowing the concept to reach remote destinations without getting stuck, at least in theory.

A total of four new Nissan EV concepts will be unveiled at this year's Japan Mobility Show. The first two have already been shown digitally, and the next two will be unveiled online on October 17 and 19.
