Nissan also now joins the list of car manufacturers that intend or appear to be launching a large electric MPV. That is the Nissan Hyper Tourer, a flashing preview of an electric MPV with sliding doors.
After the Hyper Urban and this Hyper Adventure, the Nissan Hyper Tourer is the third in a series of concept cars that Nissan will park on the exhibition floor of the Japan Mobility Show later this month. In contrast to the two previously presented Hyper study models, the Hyper Tourer is not a crossover or SUV-like, but a hell of an electric MPV.

The fact that a possible production version of the Hyper Tourer is not for everyone is evident from the way in which the intended customer group describes the car. The Hyper Tourer is aimed at “individuals who appreciate the finer things in life and enjoy the company of friends and colleagues, whether on a road trip or a business trip.” Completely premium, if we can believe Nissan. More fancy marketing talk: the Hyper Tourer is said to combine omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) with modern technologies. What kind of technologies are these? We read, among other things, about software and hardware that should make autonomous driving possible and the Hyper Tourer is equipped with V2X technology. This means that the MPV must be able to supply power to devices, but also to your home. Nissan only briefly mentions the most important piece of technology. The four-wheel drive Hyper Vision should have solid-state batteries.
Will the Hyper Tourer soon go into production? We expect so. At least, to a certain extent. Nissan already has two certainly not small MPVs in its range in its home country of Japan: the Serena and the even larger Elgrand. With this Hyper Tourer, Nissan is most likely hinting at the arrival of an electric Elgrand alternative.
