Nissan Sway Concept Previews Hatchbacks to Come

Small cars don’t have to be devoid of style.

That’s the message Nissan is looking to get across with its new Sway concept, which debuted today at the Geneva Motor Show.

Taking design cues from the likes of the new Murano SUV and Maxima sedan, the Sway concept makes use of an angular “V-motion grille” up front and plenty of dramatic lines. Other design highlights include the hiked-up C-pillars, floating roof and boomerang taillamps.

Inside the car gets a clean cabin inspired by the IDx concept.

In a statement Nissan says, “future Nissan models in different market segments in all regions will follow this styling direction.”
