World premiere of the 2005 Chrysler Group Akino Concept Vehicle

Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Akino concept vehicle will premier at the next Tokyo auto show in October. The unique and artistically sculptured appearance of the Chrysler Akino concept and its one-box, compact size certainly turns heads. However, after the fifth person settles comfortably into vehicle, one clearly gets the idea there is more to this concept than meets the eye.

 

 

The vehicle name comes from Interior and Exterior Designer, Akino Tsuchiya, a 37-year-old who was born in Japan and is based at the DaimlerChrysler Pacifica Advanced Design Center in Carlsbad, Calif.

 

Akino Tsuchiya, Interior and Exterior Designer of Akino Concept Vehicle, along with colleagues Michael Castiglione (driver), Mark Moushegian (rear seat , driver side) and Kevin Verduyn (rear seat, passenger side), 2005 Tokyo Motor Show (Outside North America)

The selection of materials and colors used in the interior are composed of natural and recyclable synthetic fabrics: bamboo flooring, a throw rug, lighting sconce, mood lighting and even throw pillows.

 

The exterior features side glass that has an unusual graphic breakup while the rear glass is specially coated with texture to give passengers a sense of privacy and comfort.
