Nissan is drip feeding us five concepts that will appear at the Tokyo Motor Show next week and the penultimate car is a wacky all-electric crossover called the Nissan Hyper Punk.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve already seen the Hyper Tourer MPV, the Hyper Adventure off-roader and the Hyper Urban crossover in the past few weeks but the Hyper Punk is designed as a smaller offering, aimed at \u2018content creators and influencers\u2019 according to Nissan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A fully-electric car like the other concepts, the Hyper Punk features \u2018vehicle-to-everything\u2019 technology, meaning it can not only charge appliances from its on-board battery but also power buildings.<\/p>\n

The exterior is bold, as we\u2019ve come to expect from this series of Nissan concepts. It\u2019s \u2018defined by polygonal surfaces\u2019 says Nissan and the silver paint shifts in colour depending on the viewing angle. There\u2019s plenty of triangular detailing – prominent in the lights, bumper and the whopping 23-inch wheels. Short overhangs front and rear along with a stubby wheelbase make the Hyper Punk \u201cideal for both city and off-road driving\u201d, according to Nissan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The interior, which is accessed via a butterfly-style door, is a fairly minimalist affair. There\u2019s origami-styled elements in the cabin\u2019s design and Nissan says the onboard cameras can capture scenery around the car and convert it using AI to create a \u2018manga-style\u2019 pattern on the three-screen display wrapping around the driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like the Hyper Tourer, the Hyper Punk can detect the driver\u2019s mood and set music and lighting to convey their \u2018energy and creativity\u2019. The car can also connect to various devices and provide \u2018seamless internet\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Hyper Punk will join its Hyper concept car siblings at the Tokyo Motor Show on 25 October.<\/p>\n
