After the debut of the Battista, Automobili Pininfarina began to make long-term plans to expand the model range and, together with Bosch and Benteler, began developing its own electric vehicle platform. In 2020, the British magazine Autocar spoke about the upcoming Pininfarina electric crossover: then it was reported that the power of its power plant would be about 1000 hp, acceleration to “hundreds” would take about 3 s, the estimated maximum speed was 300 km/h, the reserve travel on a single charge — about 550 km. At the same time, a teaser of the Pura Vision concept under the covers was published, but due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the company's financial difficulties, its premiere took place only today.

The overall length of the concept is 5215 mm, the width at the level of mirror cameras is 2147 mm, and the height is 1641 mm. The crossover has no central pillars, which emphasizes its spacious interior, designed for four.

The interior, upholstered in wool and recycled polyester fabric, looks rather old-fashioned due to the thick bezels of the instrument and multimedia displays. Loudspeaker speakers are built into the headrests of the chairs, as it were, hanging in the air. There are no physical buttons on the front panel — only touch ones.
