Nissan has released teasers for two new concept vehicles ahead of the Beijing Auto Show, presenting an electrified off-road concept alongside a separate road-focused concept.
The off-road concept shows a lifted suspension, large all-terrain tires, auxiliary hood and roof lights, a probable roof rack, trimmed front bumper for better approach angle, and marker lights on each fender. Nissan did not disclose powertrains, though some form of electrification — either a plug-in hybrid or full EV — is expected, and conventional side mirrors suggest production potential.
The road-focused concept features an LED signature reminiscent of the new Leaf and a roof protrusion that appears to house LiDAR or cameras for advanced driver assistance. The teaser’s five illuminated rectangles recall the Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid launched in China, but Nissan has not confirmed any technical link; that truck is derived from the Nissan Dongfeng Z9.
Nissan named China one of three core markets in its recent long-term plan and said it will expand its New Energy Vehicle (NEV) lineup there. Nissan also indicated models developed in China may be exported, with the Frontier Pro and the N7 large electric sedan already slated for the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
