I really don't think the Beijing Motor Show was ready for this. By now everyone and their mother knows about the [Chevy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corvette-eray-hybrid) Volt, [GM's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrified-corvette) attempt to get Americans to drive a small-sized plug-in car, but who knew they had this up their sleeve? The Chevrolet Volt MPV5 is a crossover, which means it fits more people and looks a lot more badass. I an officially excited about the Chevrolet Volt MPV5. Americans are all about asthetics when it comes to autos. Hopefully this good-looking--and big--electric ride will help us all go green. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Electric Crossovers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing plug-in crossover vehicles to meet the demand for spacious and stylish electric cars. - **Asthetic-driven Automobiles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating electric cars that prioritize aesthetics and design to appeal to American consumers. - **Green Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Promoting the adoption of electric vehicles as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional cars. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating electric crossover models into the product lineup to cater to consumer preferences. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Supporting the growth of electric vehicles by expanding renewable energy sources for charging infrastructure. - **Consumer Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing cutting-edge features and technologies for electric crossovers to enhance the overall driving experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chinese Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electra-e5.md) - [Full-Size Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevrolet-blazer.md) - [Hybrid Performance Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrified-corvette.md) - [Muscular Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muscular-hybrid-suv.md) - [PHEV Crossover SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mazda-cx60.md) - [American-Made Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mullen-five.md) - [All-Electric Tiny Crossover Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-aceman.md) - [Persona-Specific EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-futures.md) - [Sculpted Zero-Emissions Crossovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-sport-crossover-concept.md)
