The Nissan Forum Concept will be presented at the 2008 Detroit Motor Show, starting January 13. This concept will try to explore new possibilities in the US market. To this end, the company chose to develop the design at the Nissan Design America facility in California.
The Nissan Forum Concept is a large minivan whose aim is to provide the possibility of independent spaces for children and adults. It is very well equipped with all kinds of devices, from characteristic car systems to video games screens and a small microwave oven.
From the outside the Forum Concept has a very solid look, although it is not the typical compact minivan, as its hood is somewhat large and protruding. Likewise the front is very well integrated into the general volume, which really resembles a large box.
The waist line is very high, so the side contrasts huge doors with small windows. Even so, the interior is very bright thanks to the panoramic ceiling. The glass covers the entire surface of the ceiling.
As a great contribution to the comfort of access to the interior, the front doors open at a 90 degree angle. In addition, parante B was dispensed between the front and rear doors. This is very practical for passengers accessing the second and third rows of seats.
Inside, it was possible to combine comfort elements, security devices and entertainment items such as video game screens. All seats are upholstered with leather, while the second row seats can be rotated 90 or 180 degrees.
The predominant elements of the interior are wood and aluminum, which are very well combined with leather seats. The floor is carpeted with carpets are made of wool.
The Nissan Forum Concept has internal and external cameras that send your signal inside and display from the front. Thus, the driver or his companion can observe the passengers located behind. This is intended for parents to be able to control children. External cameras help the driver maneuver.
To conclude, it can be added that the brand tried to draw up a vehicle that pleases both men and women. In this way, the Nissan Forum Concept seeks to meet the expectations of the user profile of each sex: women prefer a vehicle whose interior generates peace of mind and whose exterior looks a pleasant design. On the other hand, men tend to look for more sport handling and good interior equipment.
