The Nissan Round Box went on display at the Tokyo Motor
Show in 2007. The concept was a bizarrely styled 2+2 which
was designed around the idea of interaction. Interaction
either between the occupants or with the surroundings.
The unusual styling of the Nissan Round box doesn't have
much coherence. The grill sits awkwardly in at the front
and gives the nose the appearance of a fish wearing a
mouth guard. The jerky, flared front wheel arches don't
fit with the headlights either. But from the doors back
the design improves somewhat, although it does have the
look of a Smart ForTwo on steroids. The rear is probably
the best angle to view the Nissan Round Box from as the
back panel is clean and uncluttered and the rounded shape
of the rear arches fit well with the curved roofline.
Inside the Nissan Round Box the passengers are able to
share entertainment and driving information through an
interactive "Play Catch" system developed by
Nissan.
The driver and passengers are able to gain a greater sense
of speed (part of Nissan 'interaction' design theme) when
traveling in the Round Box thanks to a small window in
the lower section of the door which lets the occupants
see the road surface slipping past.
