At the 2019 Geneva Auto Show, Nissan pulled the cover of its latest concept called the IMQ. While this platform will not be sold in the automakerâ€™s line-up of passenger vehicles, its advanced technology and design do signal the direction of Nissanâ€™s next generation of crossovers.

The IMQ concept is based on a multi-motorÂ all-wheel drive setup that relies on e-Power, which is found in select Japanese Nissans, to create 335 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the automakerâ€™s previous concept, the IMx, the IMQ is not purely electric â€“ rather, it features a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine to complement the battery.

On the road, the IMQ incorporates the last innovations of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which include ProPILOT Assist for semi-autonomous driving and Invisible-to-Visible technology, which uses augmented reality to simulate objects outside of a driverâ€™s field of vision. Inside the cabin, four individual seats accent the interior, as well as a gliding wing instrument panel, a centre console that stretches the length of the IMQ, and a smaller, secondary screen that houses a Virtual Personal Assistant. The conceptâ€™s radically sculpted exterior also boasts 22-inch alloy wheels, hinged doors, and a single continuous surface where the body meets the glass and roof.
