Reaping the Benefits of Embracing the Crossover Concept: Chevy FNR-X
During 2015 at Auto Shanghai, Chevrolet announced to the world that they were putting in many hours figuring out the Find New Roads, or "FNR" concept car. Just within the last week, the iconic powerhouse of a brand that we love so much to represent provided more details on just how they are going to release and conceptualize the crossover vehicle. What is now the running model is quite a bit different from the original draft, and it has been admitted that the "all-purpose sports concept vehicle" has many kinks to eventually be worked out. Active grille shutters, adaptive suspension, and drag-reducing techniques for overall efficiency are all part of the plan that will earn many points for potential buyers.
At first look, the front appears a bit like a much-upgraded version of the Camaro ZL1, while the profile features a roof design that has a bit of float to it. Passengers that are getting on board int eh back will enjoy the rear-hinged doors, which will provide more room in the long run. With a long glance to the rear, there are some elements that are similar to what is seen on other current Camaro models, and envisioning what this car will look like in silver is properly modern. Many have commented this year that the Japanese element of feng shui is actually displayed here: the feel of this vehicle is definitely one that feels as if it has had the magic touch to appear "unstuck".
Proposed different drive modes are V for Versatility and S for Sport, and many passengers will love the high-tech fabric that the seats are proposed to be trimmed with. OLED displays will help with the entertainment options, and sensors will be able to detect which person is currently behind the wheel to automatically adjust settings. Where we really begin to get excited about the fun potential that this will unleash for anyone getting behind the wheel is the incorporation of an active suspension system: as the conditions of the road you are driving change, the auto will be able to have adjustable levels of ground clearance.
The spoilers that have been shown thus far are great in that they appear to adjust according to which driving mode is selected, and the lower center brake lights are menacingly cool: the time has finally come where consumers get to enjoy technology that looks and feels a bit like the infamous "Kitt" from "Knight Rider". There are some instances where a driver wants a rugged feel in a vehicle, and needs something that feels a bit old school. For any other instance under the sun, a vehicle like this is going to rule the moment: It drips with the true calling of the future, and run laps around the joy "The Jetsons" predicted we would get out of modern travel!
