Suzuki PF Concept Auto Show Photo

Making its North American debut in Los Angeles, the Suzuki PX explores styling and packaging for a mono-box shape that is equal parts minivan and sci-fi lunar rover. The silver appearance, inside and out, feels otherworldly, with shapes that resemble machined aluminum. This FWD vehicle has three rows of two-place Recaro seating, in sharing a common track to allow adjustment fore/aft. The cabin design is in tune with the exterior, balancing a simple elegance and leading-edge technology. Beside the digital gauge cluster arrayed in traditional pods is an liquid-crystal display for the high-end entertainment center that sees giant, exposed speakers throughout the cabin. The overall design reminds us of the Scarabs built by aircraft engineer William B. Stout back in 1936. This oft-forgotten long-wheelbase minivan predecessor featured a rear-mounted V-8 engine and four-wheel independent suspension. The interior featured much wood and wicker, inspired by aircraft of its time, to create an open, RV-like space. This more modern Suzuki take on the capsule exterior design is very well executed, making it stand out wherever it goes.
