2003 Nissan Redigo

Loaded with an array of newly conceived equipment and ideas, Redigo open-roof car enables users to enjoy fun-filled drives in the open air. All four occupants, not only the driver but also the front- and rear-seat passengers, can share the pleasure of traveling together.

The large glass roof on either side slides open toward the center for a feeling of oneness with the wind, which is one of Redigo’s unique attractions. Advanced IT technologies and various entertainment features make drives even more enjoyable. Redigo promises space for comfortable travel by four occupants.

The body of Redigo has a rounded form at the four corners as if it were a rubber boat floating in space. The vertically long LED headlamps make a striking impression with their bold look. Redigo pursues Nissan’s proposal for a new dimension of car enjoyment.

The "center slot in roof" concept proposes a new sensation of enjoyment in an open-roof car. The glass roof on either side slides under motor power to stow away in the center of the roof without sacrificing the luggage area capacity. Occupants can vary the openness as they wish by opening or closing the glass roof and the windows separately. The glass roof is laminated with a film that has special patterns for controlling the reflection and transmission of light.

The interior incorporates a wealth of new ideas enabling four occupants to enjoy pleasurable driving. Positioned ahead of the front seats is the unique "twin cluster," comprising the same type of display on both the driver’s and passenger’s sides. The driver-side display is stationary and shows information needed for driving, such as the vehicle speed and various types of warnings. The passenger-side display is movable and presents navigation and entertainment information.

The doors, seats and floor adopt water-resistant materials that actively expand the possibilities for leisure use. The door trim and head restraints feature a soft, glossy urethane material. A cheerful-looking mesh material is applied to the seatbacks.

Концепт Nissan Redigo, название которого напоминает стартовую отмашку . Такую машину, наверное, смогут по достоинству оценить те, кто приглядывается к Citroen Pluriel. Четырехместный открытый автомобиль с кузовом тарга предназначен для активной молодежи. Даже полный привод имеется. Требуется только одеться попанковистее и выкрасить волосы в зеленый цвет. И вперед, в смысле - go!

Шансов увидеть машину на конвейере, считай, никаких. Хотя, если оглянуться на Honda Element или недавно появившуюся линейку Scion (Toyota), - кто знает?
