Will the future SUV of Seat look like this?

The day will come when manufacturers will no longer be bound by conventional designs because of construction methods. In the future, computers and 3D printing will be responsible for producing vehicles. This futuristic SUV from Seat could be one of the first.

Aitor Amigo López has designed this concept of a future Seat SUV. This spectacular model looks truly incredible, accurate and realistic. It looks like it was taken straight from a sci-fi film, yet someday it could become a reality.

In the future we expect to see a great number of incredible vehicles, whose designs make today’s models look like tacky relics of the past. This has always happened, in fact if we go back just 20 years and look at how vehicles have evolved from yesterday to today, we can notice a clear difference.

Even so, it is true that this is a mere matter of taste, since cars used to have, for example, a longer rear end, whereas now the effect of a “cut-off or non-existent rear” seems to be the trend, a trend which, in my opinion, strips many models of a personality they once had.

The concept created by Aitor Amigo López, however, I personally find incredibly accurate, not only because it conveys progress and technology and tries to approximate models we may see perhaps in 2030, but also because it gives the vehicle personality and makes it easily identifiable, something that is sometimes difficult today, given the similarity between so many models, which instead of betting on something original, prefer to play it safe and “copy” what is known to work.

According to the concept’s own author, he has given the model a design that aims to convey a great amount of interior space, combined with a more compact exterior appearance.

Of course, this is a fully electric vehicle that would feature hypothetical “perfect” Level 5 autonomous driving, meaning the vehicle would be capable of driving by itself with 100% efficiency.

One of the most interesting technological proposals this model incorporates is a facial recognition system to unlock and start the car. It also includes a fingerprint reader that will perform a very similar function, although honestly, given how easy it is for hackers to obtain a false and identical fingerprint, we don’t believe it is the best solution.

Once inside, you would of course have access to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an AI acting as a personal assistant. This concept has been developed based on an estimate for 2030. We will see when the time comes whether that estimate proves accurate.
