Concept Car 2003
Jikoo(The Tokyo Motor Show 2003)

The year 2003 coincides with Nissan's 70th anniversary and the 400th anniversary of the Edo Shogunate. Inspired by Nissan's heritage, Jikoo concept car has been created around the idea of combining advanced technologies and traditional industrial arts from two different historical and temporal worlds. While inheriting the compact size yet dignified character of the original Datsun Roadster, Jikoo gives expression to Nissan's sporty heritage and embodies Japan's traditional aesthetics and artisanship.

SERENITY(The Tokyo Motor Show 2003)

A fusion of sport sedan and MPV - Nissan's proposal for a next-generation multipurpose saloon
With a "Japanese DNA" design theme, Serenity projects a refined tranquility characteristic of Japanese culture. For example, side windows have a distinctive shape reminiscent of a folding fan and the front mask suggests Kabuki facial make-up. The interior is inspired by Japanese elements such as ink paintings, cherry blossoms and wave-like patterns.
Ergonomically designed, stress-free seats provide comfortable interior roominess. Based on the concept of "neutral posture," the seats recline to disperse a seated occupant's body pressure so as to avoid putting any strain on the lower back.
Human-machine interfaces (HMI) and cutting-edge Information Technologies include the magical 4 HMI concept that facilitates stress-free, centralized control and the "Horizontal Meter Unit" for optimal and timely presentation of information to the driver.

A new-sensation open-roof car for active young people to enjoy the thrill of open-air cruising
