Nissan Bevel

The Nissan Bevel was a concept crossover SUV that Nissan unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. Its design was asymmetrical, with regular front and rear doors on the passenger side but just one large door on the driver side. Nissan described it as a design study for male customers aged 45 to 60 who like to keep many tools in their vehicle, carry things, do projects outside the house and only rarely carry passengers, picturing an owner who would drive alone 90 percent of the time. Its power folding seats had front-hinged bases that first folded upward and forward, letting the seatbacks fold fully flat into one long load space running back from the dashboard. Nissan never planned to build it and meant it only to inform future models, and the concept was later destroyed at a wrecking yard near Nashville, Tennessee.
