Toyota Motor North America and Clemson University’s International Center for Automotive Research have some up with a concept car targeted towards the next generation. As a part of the school’s ongoing Deep Orange project, this electric vehicle dubbed uBox is designed to be a one solution for young generation who like to socialize, work and explore new places. Highly customizable interiors are this EV’s talking point as one can toggle between a cargo-centered setting to being a people transporter in just a few minutes.

uBox SUV has a carbon fiber roof structure which gives scope for transparent ceiling panels to enjoy the surroundings while driving on a forest trail. The car’s interiors like the dashboard and door trim can be totally customized using 3D printed parts. Taking the usability feature of this car even further, the developers have fitted it with hardware that allows you to charge gadgets or run power tools that require 110-volt socket.

As for the design of this car, it looks like a crossover between a hatchback and SUV inspired by armored vehicles. Overall the car looks practical for urban commuting as well, where ever constricted spaces are forcing auto manufactures to come-up with practical designs for the future. This concept was revealed at Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress and Exposition in Detroit.

We don't need no stinking Scion...

Now let's make a next gen XB!

Erm.... Toyota?

I've been thinking about getting a bike something like that one

If that's what kids want then I'm sad for the future... :(

I know you're a special snowflake but...

<--- that was is left
this way is right --->

:bonk: bhahahhaha

Is it awd at least?

If it doesn't drive itself and have 15 different electronic devices to distract them with then I highly doubt GenZ really wants it.

Yo yo yo I'm here representing the gen Z homies. Dis ride is off the chain its so dope yo, check out those rims bet they over 20" and I bet its only tall cuz the air suspension is jacked up but I bet y'all it'll hard park better than any of your five point slow's smh lol.

But seriously I want to know why they always design these cars for the youth, urban, modern, adventurous, etc demographic who doesn't exist.

Toyota is trying hard to figure out how to replace this one car solution:
