Nissan
Resonance
The Resonance concept is similar to the current Murano in every measurement. Its proportions also imitate the production of mid-size crossover’s, with a jellybean-like profile and a stumpy hood. This being a radical concept car, however, these are pretty much where the Resonance/Murano similarities end
The interior design says no word on whether hypothetical future Resonance customers will enjoy priority boarding, slightly more legroom, or a free in-flight, er, drive meal.) Having never traveled either in space or in first class, we can’t speak to the accuracy of Nissan’s design efforts
The Resonance features a panoramic glass roof, giant 22-inch wheels, a tinted translucent acrylic grille, and a blazing Flare Orange paint job. Nissan’s now-signature boomerang-shaped lights also make an appearance here, although they’re more attractively stretched.
The Nissan's resonance says the concept makes use of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder mated with an electric motor and a continuously variable transmission (CVT); all-wheel drive also is part of the mix. The electric motor is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, which can be recharged with kinetic energy captured during braking.
Nissan is hoping the Resonance concept resonates with shoppers of two-row, mid-size crossovers” so that it can “increase the frequency with which Muranos leave dealership lots.” That would be too easy, but the sentiment certainly rings true.
