Nissan TeRRA SUV Concept for Paris Motor Show



 
At first glance the Nissan TeRRA SUV concept looks like something rather alien, more like a Martian cruiser or something similar. Either way you look at it, there is lots to admire in the TeRRA concept that will be making its debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

The first thing to like is that it aims to be a zero emission SUV, which in this day and age, is respectable. The TeRRA SUV concept uses the same electric propulsion system as the Nissan LEAF to power the front wheels while each rear wheel features an in-wheel electric motor based on prototypes featured in three successive PIVO concepts. Under the bonnet lies Nissan’s hydrogen fuel cell stack which boasts world-leading power density of 2.5kW/L.

 The second thing to like is the unique instrument cluster that can be removed and used separately, like a modern day tablet. The tablet is docked upon entering the car and provides navigation, communication and entertainment, as well as key performance indicators.

The TeRRA SUV concept also features a unique seating arrangement where the driver is positioned more centrally with passengers positioned over the driver’s shoulders, creating a unique passenger experience. Nissan has made it clear that it’s ready to mass produce fuel cell electric vehicles when hydrogen becomes widely available.
