W Motors breaks away from its supercars by designing the Iconiq Seven for the Chinese brand

We already know the proposals from W Motors, the brand behind the Fenyr SuperSport and the Lykan HyperSport, which will be present at the Monterey Car Week taking place these days. Two supercars that have nothing to do with this proposal from the company, which has worked alongside the Chinese brand Iconiq to present the Iconiq Seven, a concept MPV that tries to offer a new, more moderate image of its designers’ ideas.

The collaboration starts with the Chinese company, which wanted to add to its proposal the touch that the Arab company usually offers in its cars. They hired a team of engineers and designers from the company, and the result is this concept, which will be presented in Monterey.

Although the style of the Seven is completely different from the rest of the cars that have come out of the design tables of W Motors, it still maintains some similarities with the supercars. In particular, the headlights should be highlighted, which have a horizontal shape, with a vertical light positioned following the line of the air intake.

Its appearance is, of course, imposing, and although it does not follow the lines of a supercar, it has an image that moves away from the MPV models we are used to seeing. An elegant line that promises a car in which luxury and comfort will certainly be present.

The brand’s goal is to attract as many camera lenses as possible at Monterey. And given that this is a model that will only go on sale in China, that is somewhat curious. Could the manufacturers of this model want to test the response of the American public before eventually bringing the production version of the Seven to Western markets as well? Honestly, we wouldn’t mind, would we?
