# Open-Air Subcompacts The Renault Sunny Concept Car Bridges the Gap Between Biking and Driving By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-sunny References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Renault-Sunny/2085212) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Renault-Sunny/2085212) If you're not a motorcycle sort of person, perhaps you might see the value in owning or operating something like the [Renault](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-clio-vi) Sunny. This remarkably compact vehicle has the space to seat just one (the driver), doesn't permit a great deal of speed, but promises more effortless journeys to nearby destinations. Designer Jesuan Rodrigues Reis envisions his [compact car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-electric-microcar) as a convenient little automobile that can go where regular cars cannot. The [three-wheeled automotive rickshaw](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azr-quad-go) could easily travel down park paths, along sidewalks and through urban plazas. The roofless scheme also invites the motorist to engage with pedestrians and cyclists around him. To really bring it home, the Renault Sunny is proposed as a marvelously eco-manufactured machine that is personalizable and ideal for auto-sharing programs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Compact Eco-vehicles:** The Renault Sunny concept car represents a trend in compact eco-vehicles that provide convenient and eco-friendly transportation options for urban environments. - **Open-air Urban Mobility:** The Renault Sunny concept car taps into the trend of open-air urban mobility, offering a unique and engaging driving experience that encourages interaction with pedestrians and cyclists. - **Personalizable Electric Cars:** The Renault Sunny concept car showcases the growing trend of personalizable electric cars that cater to individual preferences and can be used for auto-sharing programs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore opportunities in developing and manufacturing compact eco-vehicles like the Renault Sunny, as consumers seek eco-friendly and convenient transportation solutions for urban areas. - **Urban Mobility:** The urban mobility industry can capitalize on the trend of open-air urban mobility by designing and operating innovative vehicles like the Renault Sunny that provide unique and engaging transportation experiences. - **Electric Vehicles:** The electric vehicle industry can leverage the trend of personalizable electric cars by developing customizable options for consumers and partnering with auto-sharing programs to expand their market reach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Near-Future Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-clio-vi.md) - [Petite Solar-Powered EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-ev.md) - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md) - [Single-Seater Bicycle Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bagnole-electric-utv.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Three-Wheel Pod EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nimbus-one.md) - [Electric License-Free City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-la-2-deuche-concept.md) - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md) - [Outdoor-Focused Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manifesto-concept-car.md)
