The guys of Nissan are not hiding the fact the their newest concept, Nissan Ellure, is dedicated to the women. Still, we don’t know if a production car designed for the women is set to see the sun light.

Nissan Ellure is a concept focusing on the needs of the potential customers represented by the women between 30 and 40 years old, sophisticated, but with a rebel style. We can tell from the pictures that the concept is fool of curves, but far away from the “cute” style. On the contrary, Nissan Ellure Concept is aggressive enough, for us, the males, lust for it.

The prominent front has a grille inspired from the samurai’s kimonos,  ”Kamishino,” and the rear borrows elements found on the “Torii,” doors of Shinto wells. We’re talking about Japanese culture elements, the designers probably hoping that the women will understand the car this way.

Nissan Ellure is also aerodynamic, the Japanese officials saying that this concept helped them study the possibility of eliminating the intakes, openings and humps that may produce turbulence.

So, the rims feature some extra transparent plastic spokes, covering the big openings, without affecting the design; the side mirrors have been replaced with cameras; the door handlers are opening counter-wise and have been minimized.

Nissan Ellure Concept’s roomy interior giving the impression of an office dedicated to the fashion designers. Everything is o good taste and the buttons are grouped in a manner not to make us think of congestion and giving the impression of extra room thanks to the glass roof.

The rear stets are designed much like a sofa, and the front seats are carefully profiled. As a whole, the interior conforms with the “Molten” design philosophy, with eco materials and lights giving the passengers an unique experience.

Nissan Ellure is not just a model, also having a drive train. A hybrid one, putting together a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with a 25kW electric motor. The power is sent to the front wheels and is transmitted via a CVT Xtronic gearbox.

If Ellure is set to give birth to a car segment focusing on the female drivers, is to early to say. But we have no doubt that the coming sedans dedicated to the North-American market will borrow some of the Nissan Ellure design elements. And, who knows, Nissan will return on the sedans battle on the European market.
