Auto Car | 2007 Suzuki X-Head Concept Car | The Suzuki X-HEAD Concept looks like it could be one of the Constructicons from an upcoming Transformers Movie sequel, and Suzuki has given the concept SUV decent off-road and load carrying capacity.
The rear bed can be configured a few ways. One configuration holds a unit called the Camper, which provides sleeping space for 2 adults. The other is called Fashion – I’m not exactly sure what this is but Suzuki says it “provides stylish urban mobility” – I think it’s nothing more than some sort of stylish cover for the rear. Finally, there is Rescue, which includes basic excavator capabilities.
Of course, the rear bed can also be left like a normal pickup bed, which is the version you see in these live photos. There is a little scrambler bike loaded at the back.
According to Suzuki, this pert little number exhibits the road performance and toughness of the Jimny and the load-carrying capability of the Carrry. (Yes, Suzuki really does produce an SUV named “Jimny.”) Essentially the company is saying that the X-Head is a cross between an SUV and a pickup truck, which you might have already picked up on.
The concept looks as if it could ride on a wheelbase as short as the Carry’s (93 inches), a vehicle so small that moped maker Piaggio rebadges them for Europe. The X-Head’s big-rig styling is pug-cute. Shrinking the characteristics of a full-size thing and applying them to a tidy little package often results in something quite attractive. Call it the Eva Longoria effect.
With essentially no front or rear overhang, big ol’ mudder tires and a tiny wheelbase, the X-Head would make a wicked little off-roader. And look, a little Suzuki dirt bike fits in the bed. What a coincidence! The wall of the cargo bed conceals storage compartments accessible through fold-down body panels.
And Suzuki says that the bed can be reconfigured depending on an owner’s needs. There’s a Camper attachment to allow two people to sleep in comfort in the back. There’s a Fashion unit that allows for “stylish urban mobility.” And there’s a Rescue unit, which presumably turns the X-Head into a, uh, rescue vehicle.
This is all theoretical, though, as the X-Head is only a concept. An endearing concept. But a concept nonetheless.
The X-HEAD is a cross utility vehicle offering a host of possibilities for people wanting to explore their world. Boasting a DNA borne of the legendary off-road capabilities of the Jimny and Grand Vitara and the load carrying capacity of the APV, X-HEAD epitomizes functional dependability and fun.
