Compact Cubic Cars

The Designer of the Kinetia Cuboy Concept Thought Inside the Box

— May 4, 2011 — Autos
It's deemed admirable to think outside of the box, yet a project like the Kinetia Cuboy concept car successfully focuses within the parameters of the cube and produces a truly unique automobile.

Sasank Gopinathan began with a form that epitomized the potential of a thoroughly compact vehicle. Just short of completely punching out each corner of the conveyance, the designer came up with this four-wheeled hatchback (and front) coupe with a modest interest in aerodynamics given its smooth but rectilinear form.

Not designed for great speeds or off-roading performance, the Kinetia Cuboy concept is made for the urban environment so that it may excel in terms of agile navigation, ease of parking, fuel efficiency and overall convenience for the three people it seats.

2. Cube-shaped Vehicles - Exploring the potential of cuboid designs in creating unique automobiles with distinctive aesthetics and functional advantages.
3. Urban Mobility - Developing vehicles specifically optimized for urban environments, focusing on agility, convenience, and sustainability.
Industry Implications

2. Sustainable Transportation - Potential for the sustainable transportation industry to adopt and adapt the compact and efficient design principles of the Kinetia Cuboy concept car.
3. Urban Planning & Design - Innovative collaborations between urban planning and automotive design to create transportation solutions that address the challenges of urban mobility and parking.
