Nissan Teatro for Dayz: Concept takes Cube to a whole new level of Tonka toy styling
Even if it gets built, past experience suggests we’re unlikely to see it in the UK as anything other than a special import

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

No information on either the drivetrain or the meaning of Teatro For Dayz has been made available, but Nissan describes it as an "indication of what people will expect of EVs in the future".
Even if it gets built, past experience suggests we’re unlikely to see it in the UK as anything other than a special import. Which is a bit of a shame as it has some fun stuff going on behind that bricklike exterior, designed (apparently) to evoke the minimalist appearance of modern technology.
Nissan calls the car's cabin a 'future canvas'. The dashboard, seats, door trim and instrument panel can all be configured to display photos and moving images. Traditional buttons have been thrown away and replaced by voice commands and gesture controls for most of the infotainment functions.
In motion, the digital instrument panel shows navigation information, but when you’re stopped – a not infrequent occurrence in urban Japan – that data is replaced by custom artwork and pictures.
