Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics giant, is increasingly focused on zero-emission mobility. With its automotive division, Foxtron has already shown cars such as the Model B, Model C and Model E. Now it unveils the Model D, designed in collaboration with Pininfarina. Defined by Foxconn as a Lifestyle Multipurpose Utility Vehicle, it takes on forms that are halfway between an SUV and an MPV. 5.1 meters long, it accommodates up to 7 occupants in maximum comfort.
“Our design team paid great attention to creating the Model D, focusing on optimizing living space while maintaining a sleek and aerodynamic exterior,” explained Felix Kilbertus, Pininfarina’s Chief Creative Officer. “The Model D represents a significant evolution from traditional SUVs”.
Aesthetically, the Foxtron Model D is inspired by the concept of a monolith, also underlined by the matt gray color chosen for the launch. For this reason it shows extremely clean lines, flat surfaces and few very sculpted details. The car has very refined aerodynamics, with a Cd of only 0.23 Credit to an unusual styling solution that characterizes the front end, where the presence of a suspended hood allows the silhouette to be lightened and airflow to be directed. Also peculiar is the shape of the rear end, which, thanks to the alternation of concave and convex surfaces, emphasized by the presence of headlights with a very complex texture, makes it possible to reduce turbulence without the need of spoilers or other aerodynamic appendages.
So “austere” on the outside, so cozy is the Foxtron Model D on the inside. Stepping aboard, one discovers a cockpit inspired by airplane business class environments. Light tones dominate, with softly shaped, refined upholstery and generously sized seats. Especially those in the second row, with headrests and built-in audio system, can be electrically adjusted to become full-fledged beds. Among the most distinctive elements are perforated door covers, which lend three-dimensionality to the surfaces, and the presence of bronze-colored details.
