This vehicle may have a brutal, even monstrous appearance but it manages to be pretty gentle on the environment. This [subcompact crossover concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-quanta) has an extremely blocky design with massive fender slabs and near-vertical front and rear fascias, making this look like a piece of heavy industrial machinery. The brutal, square-shaped design is an interesting contrast to the roof, which features a traditional Chinese pattern in white jade. The vehicle uses a [gas-electric 4WD system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omoda-7) with a pair of rear electric motors. However the highlight of the Qoros 2 SUV PHEV is surely its [aggressive design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-1000-mbx), an interesting contrast to the more curvy vehicles on the market these days. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Aggressive Design:** The brutal and square-shaped design of the Qoros 2 SUV PHEV presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive design industry. - **Electric 4WD System:** The gas-electric 4WD system with rear electric motors in the Qoros 2 SUV PHEV showcases a disruptive innovation opportunity for the electric vehicle industry. - **Subcompact Crossover Concept:** The Qoros 2 SUV PHEV's subcompact crossover concept brings forth a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the automotive market for compact and versatile vehicles. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Design:** The aggressive and blocky design of the Qoros 2 SUV PHEV opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the automotive design industry. - **Electric Vehicle:** The electric 4WD system in the Qoros 2 SUV PHEV presents an ideal disruptive innovation opportunity for the electric vehicle industry. - **Compact Vehicle Market:** The Qoros 2 SUV PHEV's subcompact crossover concept offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the compact vehicle market for more versatile and efficient options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Scandinavian SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volvo-xc.md) - [Military-Inspired Dynamic SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meishi-917.md) - [Luxury Off-Road SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesis-x-gran-equator-concept.md) - [Sculpted Efficient Aerodynamic SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-seven-concept.md) - [Hyper-Rugged SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-rover-prerunner-concept.md) - [Angular Otherworldly Off-Road SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-crater-concept.md) - [Streamlined Digital EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infiniti-vision-qe-concept.md) - [Military-Inspired SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vengeance-suv.md) - [Muscular Gilded SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-aurochs.md)
