Nissan is going to be unveiling a zero emissions SUV concept at the Paris Motor Show. Named the TeRRA, it features a hydrogen fuel cell, three electric motors and all-wheel drive.
Some of the technology is borrowed from the Leaf electric car, and it has been combined with a hydrogen fuel cell that sits under the bonnet. Nissan says that the drivetrain is virtually production ready, but the lack of a hydrogen fuel infrastructure means it’s unlikely that the TeRRA will spawn a showroom model anytime soon.

The exterior styling bears a passing resemblance to the Juke, but the interior is unique. A diagonal pattern has been used for the four seats, with the driver sitting towards the centre. Inside the cabin, a mix of beech wood, acrylic and metal trims have been used, and in place of a traditional instrument binnacle is a removable tablet display that also functions as an intelligent key.
Commenting on the TeRRA, Francois Bancon, Nissan's general manager of product strategy and planning, said: “Our challenge was to take Nissan’s strength in SUVs and crossovers forward into the zero-emissions era, fuel cells being our new frontier in zero emission mobility.
“Not big and tough for the desert, the aim was a new approach to SUVs that’s relevant to urban life. The unique diagonal seating layout that offers an exciting driving experience thanks to exceptional visibility creates a sense of being in control under any conditions.”
