The Nessie concept “aims to offer advanced solutions to the environment-friendly dilemma surrounding SUVs”, according to ItalDesign. If so, then why is this concept styled so like many previous Tonka-like SUVs we've seen before? The Nessie appears surprisingly unresolved for a Giugiaro concept, looking too tall and narrow and sitting on oversized 22” tyres. The dark paint colour also didn't help as the glass graphics in the lower door and panoramic roof were unreadable and the colour made the car look even stubbier than its toy-like profile required.
Which is a shame, because the technology under the skin is interesting. The 2.5 volume SUV coupé, developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi, uses a V8 engine and a hydrogen fuel system, supplied by the Linde Group and could have displayed some genuinely fresh solutions to an important dilemma. In summary, many designers that CDN spoke to felt the Nessie was the disappointment of the show.
