# Short People Vehicles The Volkswagen Mini-Gol is Designed for Those Five-Feet and Under By Meghan Young | Published 2010-11-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-mini-gol References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2010/11/finally-a-car-b.php) & [automotto.org](http://www.automotto.org/entry/vw-mini-gol-is-little-people-s-car/) The Volkswagen Mini-Gol has to be a first. Although tiny cars have been created before, I don't think they were ever done so with the sole purpose of catering to shorter people. Although only two Volkswagen Mini-Gol cars have been made, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a huge cry for more. Suited for people five-feet and under, it is just over seven-feet long. Of course, it may not be that safe to drive on the road, even though it is just a smaller replica of they're regular Gol. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Short Person-centric Design:** Designing products specifically for those under 5 feet tall. - **Micro-vehicles:** Creating ultra-small vehicles for specific use cases. - **Personalized Transportation:** Tailoring transportation options to fit individual needs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Exploring more niche vehicle markets to fill gaps in transportation services. - **Mobility:** Developing vehicles for those with unique mobility needs. - **Design:** Focusing on creating products with user-centered design principles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wheelchair-Friendly Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-van.md) - [Low-Speed Golf Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cru.md) - [Miniature DIY Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-p50.md) - [Compact Electric City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kg-motors.md) - [Petite Solar-Powered EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-ev.md) - [High-Performance Hatchback Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-volkswagen-golf-r-333-limited-edition.md) - [Diminutive Camper Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camper-vehicle.md) - [Electric City-Friendly Microcars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-mini.md) - [Two-Seater Solar-Powered EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-ftme.md)
