Today Nissan released a teaser ahead of the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show. The automaker announced that it will reveal an all-new electric concept crossover called the Nissan IMQ.Â

Images of the vehicle have begun to surface online and industry insiders are buzzing about its unique design, especially its oversized wheels and narrow windows. Nissan hasnâ€™t provided details about the IMQâ€™s powerplant, but speculators imagine that it will be based on the same platform as the IMS concept, which debuted at the NAIAS in Detroit. The IMS runs on a 115 kWh battery with a range of up to 380 miles. A dual motor all-wheel drive system is expected to provide up to 360 kW of power and 800 Nm of torque.

Full details about the IMQ will be unveiled during a livestream press conference on March 5, 2019, at 12:15 p.m. CET on the Nissan Global YouTube channel. Be sure to tune in â€“ our team at Kirkland Nissan will be watching from our dealership in Seattle, Washington.Â

Seeing stars? Donâ€™t be alarmed; this is not a medical emergency. What you are seeing is Nissanâ€™s latest concept vehicle, Dark Sky.Â

Unveiled at the Hannover Motor Show, the truck was designed to aid the European Space Agency when off-roading into areas of low light pollution to stargaze. If you look closely, the concept is essentially a modified Navara pick-up (the global market equivalent to the Nissan Frontier) with a trailer attached. Itâ€™s a truck turned mobile observatory.

In the trailer, the Dark Sky concept is equipped with an ultra-high performance PlaneWave telescope and cradle, which use upgraded Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies to transport the equipment to remote locations. This includes a self-hitching trailer hook-up, enhanced blind spot monitors, and an Intelligent Around View Monitor, which gives the driver a bird's-eye-view around the vehicle. Nissanâ€™s ProPilot driver assistance technology is standard as well.

The truck is also outfitted with an UHF transmitter, laptop station and eight radar units with wifi, which are powered by an auxiliary bank of batteries influenced by the Leaf EV. No matter how remote the location, the Dark Sky has all the juice it needs.

Sadly, for Seattle star-watchers, youâ€™ll be disappointed to know that the Dark Sky concept wonâ€™t be available for sale. Instead, itâ€™s being donated to the European Space Agency to be used in future research opportunities.

For now, the closest way to get a glimpse of Dark Skyâ€™s capabilities is to schedule a test drive in a Frontier. To learn more, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan today.
