Open-Top SUVs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Volkswagen T-Cross Breeze is a Spacious Turbocharged Convertible

— March 7, 2016 — Autos
The T-Cross Breeze auto by Volkswagen offers a cross-hybrid design that is simultaneously a spacious SUV coupled with the luxury open-concept design of a convertible. The open-top SUV is the first of its kind, offering consumers the best of both distinct auto styles in one streamlined design.

Convertibles are luxe and often sought-after autos, but they tend to be compact and tight on space since they usually only accommodate two passengers. The T-Cross offers much more space and width with the body of an SUV car simply with the car ceiling removed. Instead, the auto opts for a collapsible roof to give riders an open air driving experience perfect for warm and sunny weather conditions. Other features include a turbocharged engine, raised seats for an ideal drive viewing experience and a modern cockpit design.
Trend Themes
1. Open-top Suvs - Auto manufacturers can explore opportunities to create more open-top SUV models that offer luxury and space.
2. Cross-hybrid Design - There is an opportunity for the auto industry to develop more cross-hybrid designs that combine the features of two or more popular car types.
3. Streamlined Designs - Auto manufacturers can create more streamlined designs that offer multiple features in one vehicle to appeal to consumers seeking convenience and luxury.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry has an opportunity to develop more innovative car designs that cater to consumers' needs for luxury and practicality.
2. Convertible Cars - The convertible car industry can benefit from exploring more spacious car designs that cater to consumers' demands for luxury and space.
3. Luxury Suvs - The luxury SUV industry can benefit from developing more open-top SUV models that offer consumers both luxury and convenience in one vehicle.
