Nissan Xmotion Concept to make national debut at the 2018 Canadian International Auto Show

Mississauga, Ont. – On the heels of its global reveal in Detroit, the Nissan Xmotion Concept will make its Canadian debut on February 15 at the 2018 Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS). The six-passenger, three-row Nissan Xmotion (pronounced "cross motion") concept fuses Japanese culture and traditional craftsmanship with North American-style utility. Taro Ueda, Vice President of Nissan Design America, will make his second CIAS appearance to present the Nissan Xmotion to media. 

Taro Ueda and his team recently accepted a prestigious award for the Nissan Xmotion Concept. On January 16, the Xmotion concept was bestowed with the "Innovative Use of Color, Graphics or Materials" award at the 2018 North American International Auto Show. The award was one of several bestowed by the prestigious collective of automotive designers known as EyesOn Design. It is the second consecutive time Nissan has won this award, following last year's Vmotion 2.0 concept, which also was named as "Best Concept Vehicle." 

Two different sides to the same vehicle

"There is a brilliant fusion of opposites in the Xmotion Concept. On the outside, the design is very modern and powerful. This rugged exterior is contrasted with a different story on the inside. The interior goes back to Nissan's roots with Japanese craftsmanship and traditional building techniques, but also incorporates futuristic graphic elements and advanced autonomous driving technologies," says Joni Paiva, president of Nissan Canada Inc.

"We're proud to continue the tradition of national debuts for Nissan at the CIAS with another eye-catching glimpse into the potential design for our crossovers. With its high utility proportions, interior elements inspired by Japanese landscape and a levitating remote control – there's nothing else like it on display at the show."
