The Nissan Arizon Concept represents the future of the brand: technology and performance

The Shanghai Motor Show is bringing us many new developments, and we are seeing many proposals coming from Asia that we may soon have in our market. One of those cars that has caught our attention is the Nissan Arizon Concept, a concept car that will show us many novelties we will see in the brand’s future models.

And this model is not intended to be a production vehicle, although it does serve as a testing ground for new technologies that could be applied to future Nissan models. To begin with, it is based on the CMF-EV platform, which is also the one used in the Nissan Ariya and the Renault Megane E-TECH Electric.

For now, the propulsion system this model will have is not known, so we will have to wait for Nissan to provide that information.

If the exterior is interesting and surprising, you also have to look at all the equipment it incorporates in the cabin. This model is centered on the person, their comfort and the user experience. At the front we find light units that run across the full width of the vehicle, something repeated at the rear.

The shoulder height, the door handles flush with the bodywork, the alloy wheels and the trapezoidal wheel arches set a modern, up-to-date style. Another detail is marked by the suicide doors and the absence of a B-pillar, which is quite rare to see on vehicles of this type.

Minimalist cabin

The minimalist cabin features a large screen that occupies almost the entire dashboard. The steering wheel is of the yoke type, and the centre console is set high, allowing easier access to the controls. The lounge-style seats offer plenty of comfort for the occupants, and the sunroof can darken automatically to prevent glare.

The Eporo personal assistant is present in the Arizon Concept and allows interaction with passengers and provides information on traffic, weather and other general topics. The interior lighting is designed to create a specific atmosphere for each occupant. It adapts to each user’s programmed preferences and can offer the style needed at any given moment.

It is not known whether it will ever reach production, although it is expected that not even the Chinese market will receive it. But it is certainly a car worth keeping an eye on, because it may be the basis on which future models will be designed.
