This is a [concept car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-numa-concept) that is dedicated to giving special focus to the interior of the vehicle. At the same time, the vehicle is extremely colorful which makes it extremely eye-catching from the outside. This particular vehicle features a very peculiar rectangular shape and sliding side doors, which gives it the look and feel of a humble miniature bus. The vehicle actually happens to be designed to make it easier for passengers to alight and enter the vehicle. The Nori Ori also features an ultra-low floor, retractable side ramp and a wide wide-swinging rear door. Ultimately this is a vehicle that reimagines the miniature bus and repositions it as a desirable vehicle to have. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interior-focused Vehicles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing vehicles that prioritize interior comfort and functionality. - **Colorful Exterior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating vehicles with eye-catching and vibrant exteriors to stand out in the market. - **Reimagined Miniature Buses:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefining the design and functionality of miniature buses for improved accessibility and desirability. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing new vehicle concepts that prioritize interior comfort and offer unique exterior designs. - **Public Transportation Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revitalizing the design of miniature buses to enhance passenger experience and encourage their use. - **Vehicle Design Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethinking the design principles of vehicles, particularly in terms of interior space and accessibility. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Micro Camper Concept Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayoibakok.md) - [Autonomous Interactive Shuttle Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-atoz-shuttle-bus.md) - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md) - [Multifunctional Micro-Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyoya-kayoibako.md) - [Transparent Self-Driving EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimo-electric-vehicle.md) - [Reconfigurable Travel Pod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-robobus.md) - [Diminutive Camper Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camper-vehicle.md) - [Wheelchair-Friendly Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-van.md) - [Space-Saving Urban Mobility Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-doro.md)
