Just imagine - modern teenagers do not like cars! They consider them a foul-smelling and noisy anachronism, which came from the past century, which pollutes the environment and is a completely useless thing. What do they like? Computers, games and the Internet. And this is not a joke - the researchers from Nissan, who interviewed modern youth in the USA, Europe and Japan, came to such results.
“Nissan” did not like the prospect of staying in 5-7 years (when teenagers grow up) without buyers, so he decided to start conquering out of hearts right now, presenting the Mixim youth compartment at the Frankfurt Motor Show. For the development of this car attracted the youngest designers - the average age of the development team does not exceed 25 years! Therefore, the car turned out as if it had just come off the computer screen - aggressive, high-tech and ... social.

This is also a "curtsy" in the direction of computer games.

In addition, Mixim is an environmentally friendly car that does not harm the environment. He uses two Nissan 'Super Motor' motors for movement, one for each axle. So the car turned out also all-wheel drive with electronic control of traction. And these engines are powered by a set of new lithium-ion batteries, which charge enough for 250 kilometers at a speed of up to 180 kilometers per hour. And they recharge quickly - 30-40 minutes, like batteries in mobile phones.
"Nissanovtsy" say that Mixim - this car is not for everyone. “This car is for those who know exactly what car he wants. And we hope that they will be Mixim ".
On the other hand, in 5-7 years these teenagers will grow, and their tastes and preferences may well change. And then designers will have to invent a new concept - something big and prestigious, with a luxurious interior ...
