Nissan IMk. This is what city cars will look like in the future

The body, designed in accordance with the principles of simplicity applicable in Japanese design, draws attention with flowing contours. The colors of Akagane, dominated by reddish-copper shades, refer to the masterpieces of applied art made of copper. Upon closer inspection of the IMk, the "Japanese DNA" can also be seen in other stylistic details. The front with the motif of the letter V and the shades of the rear lamps are associated with a delicate wooden truss

Nissan IMk. Interior

The Nissan IMk Concept's interior has been redesigned in a new style to resemble a café or a luxury waiting area. A single sofa, used instead of armchairs, encourages people to sit down and relaxes, and the driver and passengers have the impression that they are traveling on a floating cloud. The couch is covered with ruffled upholstery, and the interior is also made cozier by the upholstered, pastel-colored covers of the dashboard and the doors.

Except for the engine start button and the directional control lever, the IMk's slim dashboard has no physical switches. After powering up, the IMk's cabin controls show up the comfort functions, with softly illuminated settings icons in Akagane color.

Important driving information, including speed and navigation directions, is displayed on a prismatic screen that has been frameless and appears to be suspended in the air. Information, the scope of which can be individually configured by the driver, also appears as holograms. The interior lighting adjusts to the dominant color of the content displayed on the prismatic screen. When you use the touchscreen - for example, when you move the map view - fancy animations are displayed in the form of a flock of birds passing by. An attentive eye will even notice a subtle bird pattern that tells you how to use the display. This is just one way to enhance your Nissan IMk driving experience with interactivity and personalization.

Nissan IMk. Autonomous driving

The Nissan IMk concept is another step towards fully autonomous driving. The car is equipped with the most modern technologies that help the driver in various situations - on expressways, city streets and parking lots.

The smartphone-controlled remote parking function linked to the ProPILOT system allows the vehicle to be parked automatically after the driver and passengers have exited. In the same way, at the push of a button, you can recall your car from a parking lot.

Other notable features include the latest driver assistance technology based on the advanced version of ProPILOT 2.0. It improves safety and increases the pleasure of driving a car thanks to the combination of highway driving support with the possibility of autonomous driving in one lane.

Nissan is a pioneer in electric car technology. Established 10 years ago, the Nissan LEAF was the first mass-market electric vehicle and remains the global leader in total sales of electric vehicles with this type of drive to this day.

The Nissan IMk concept capitalizes on this experience, offering a fully electric alternative for customers looking for a compact vehicle for driving around a vast metropolis

Nissan IMk. Equipment

Popular coffee shops and lounges in companies and public buildings offer guests and customers free Wi-Fi. People traveling in the Nissan IMk can count on the same benefits in the form of state-of-the-art, fast-acting connectivity options.

The driver can connect to the car via a smartphone to verify his identity, automatically apply individual seat position, interior lighting and air conditioning settings, and enter a travel route.

Before embarking on a journey, IMk informs the driver via smartphone about the optimal time of departure, which allows, for example, to avoid driving in a traffic rush. Upon arrival, the car will park itself, connect itself to the home energy management system and return the excess electricity stored in the batteries to the home network through the Vehicle-to-Home energy sharing system.

While driving, the driver and passengers can use Invisible-to-Visible (I2V) technology. By combining data from sensors inside and outside the car with data from the cloud, I2V technology allows you to monitor the immediate surroundings of the vehicle and predict events, and even inform you of what is happening in an obscured building or around a street corner. Directions are provided in an interactive "human" way - for example, through the avatars appearing in the booth.
