While Nissan already sells a relatively admired electric vehicle, the Leaf. It’s still imagining concepts that wrap more appealing shells around a zero-emission drive-train. Enter its latest “Intelligent Mobility” concept car: the IMs. This time it’s a sleek EV concept called the Nissan’s IMs concept sedan describes as an elevated sports sedan. The name ties in with Nissan Intelligent Mobility and the branding that it uses for its automated technology and electric vehicles.
The concept vehicle has extraordinary magnitude and sits higher than a classic sedan. The battery is located under the body, which elevates the cabin height.
The Interior
The IMs also has a stretched interior space, due to the vehicle’s extended wheelbase. The vehicle features pivoting front seats and a rear seat offers three-across seating with reverse-opening rear doors. Nissan designers are describing this vehicle as “timeless Japanese futurism. And there are hints of this tech-forward approach throughout the vehicle.
It’s also equipped with an advanced air suspension that adapts to different driving situations. Because it’s the future and a concept, the IMs can be switched to full autonomous mode. When this happens, the concept’s headlights and rear combination light turn blue. While the lighting travels continuously from front-to-rear to notify pedestrians and other drivers of its autonomous status.
The Power
Nissan’s IMs concept sedan EV is all-wheel drive and powered by dual electric motors located at the front and rear of the vehicle. The vehicle’s electric power train generates 483 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, a 115-kWh battery provides an estimated range of 380 miles on a single charge. Nissan’s plan to bring virtual reality into the vehicle, it has developed a platform it calls I2V, or Invisible-to-Visible. This tech is also in the IMs conceptI2V, which is made possible with Omni-Sensing technology.
