Designed by Grigory Buttin, the vehicle features an ultra-wide wheelbase that helps it stand apart from any other design on the road or market, while also offering passengers panoramic views thanks to the window designs. The vehicle features a [sleek design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-turismo) yet appears strong on the road as a transportation option that would easily trump alternatives in terms of visual impression. The conceptual Citroën Neutron also puts a focus on [increasing the interior space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-century) for the driver and the passenger, which is far different from other vehicles of this style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Minimalistic Aesthetics:** Develop disruptive innovation opportunities by exploring unconventional design approaches that prioritize minimalistic aesthetics. - **Ultra-wide Wheelbase:** Embrace disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating ultra-wide wheelbases in vehicle designs to create a unique visual impression. - **Increased Interior Space:** Identify disruptive innovation opportunities by prioritizing designs that provide maximum interior space for drivers and passengers in unconventional ways. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by adopting unconventional design approaches that prioritize minimalistic aesthetics. - **Luxury Car Industry:** The luxury car industry can capitalize on disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating ultra-wide wheelbases in their designs to create visually impressive cars. - **Transportation Industry:** The transportation industry can identify disruptive innovation opportunities by prioritizing designs that provide increased interior space for drivers and passengers, redefining the concept of comfort and luxury in travel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md) - [Compact Classically Inspired Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-spaceman-hatchback.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [New Energy Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-next.md) - [Outdoor-Focused Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manifesto-concept-car.md) - [Panoramic Dragster Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gac-u.md) - [All-Chassis Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-evanora-concept.md) - [Sculptural Spatial City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-numa-concept.md) - [Near-Future Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-clio-vi.md)
