Nissan Magnite price, Hyper Punk concept, Tokyo Motor show

Nissan has previewed the next-gen Juke SUV via the Hyper Punk concept at the Tokyo Motor Show 2023. The new crossover has been designed to showcase the future design direction for the Japanese firm’s electric cars.

The Hyper Punk is described as “functional and stylish”, blending virtual and physical features in a bid to appeal to a style-focused audience. The fourth of five entrants in Nissan’s ‘Hyper’ concept family developed for this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, it follows the Hyper Adventure SUV, Hyper Urban crossover and Hyper Tourer MPV in gaining vehicle-to-grid charging technology, striking origami-inspired styling cues, and AI-powered mood-sensing technology that automatically adjusts the lighting and music.

Although Nissan did not indicate which of the ‘Hyper’ concepts will evolve directly into production cars, it has already confirmed that it will launch 19 new electric cars from now until 2030. This paves the way for an EV successor to the Juke, in addition to the Serena, Qashqai and X-Trail, as implied by the other four mainstream ‘Hyper studies’.

For India, Nissan did showcase the Juke to gauge customer interest, but there is no news on the funky SUV coming to Nissan India showrooms anytime soon.
