The Citroen C-Aircross Hints at the French Automaker's Design Future

— February 8, 2017 — Autos
Many North American consumers might not be very familiar with Citroen, the popular French automaker, but the new Citroen C-Aircross has the potential to spread the brand's influence across the pond. That's because the concept vehicle features some technological and material features that, while futuristic, are actually likely to make an appearance on upcoming production models.

Even a quick glance at the vehicle reveals some interesting designs. Citroen has always separated itself from competitors through baffling yet attractive design quirks, and the Citroen C-Aircross is no exception. On the exterior, it features a thin grille that's embedded with LEDs, some stylized fake exhaust ports along the side runners, and geometrical rims. On the interior, the car looks even more futuristic, with a heads-up display replacing the dashboard and deep bucket seats.
Trend Themes
1. Led-embedded Grilles - Opportunity for automakers to incorporate LED technology into vehicle design for a futuristic and eye-catching aesthetic.
2. Futuristic Interiors - Potential for car manufacturers to embrace advanced display technologies and alternative seating designs to create immersive and innovative driving experiences.
3. Concept-to-production Technology - Possibility for automakers to bridge the gap between concept vehicles and production models by implementing emerging materials and technology in their designs.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Manufacturing - Disruptive innovation opportunity for automakers to differentiate their vehicles through unique design features and advanced technologies.
2. LED Lighting Industry - Chance for LED lighting manufacturers to expand their market by collaborating with automakers to develop integrated LED solutions for vehicle exteriors.
3. Display Technology Industry - Opportunity for display technology companies to partner with car manufacturers to create groundbreaking heads-up display systems and driver interfaces.
