Brussels. The Chevrolet T2X concept vehicle debuts in Europe at the Brussels Motor Show from January 10 to 22, 2006. The Chevrolet T2X concept vehicle combines the body of a compact sport utility vehicle with the exciting design of a sport coupe. T2X was first unveiled at the Seoul Motor Show in 2005 and now found its way to Europe.
The vehicle was developed by the GM Daewoo Design Center in Korea. “This striking concept car demonstrates the capabilities of our international design team”, said David Lyon, Executive Director of Design for GM Asia-Pacific. “We are very excited to show this concept car for the first time to the European public. The T2X has tremendous potential and we might find something very similar to the T2X in production in the near future.”
The T2X is based on the architecture of the Chevrolet S3X show car, which itself serves as the basis for the company’s new SUV which will premiere as the Chevrolet Captiva at the Geneva Show in spring 2006.
The body of the T2X has a bold, masculine front with prism-style headlamps. Its taut yet emotional surface is highlighted by a dynamic side character line that rises up toward the rear. With a wheelbase of 2,707 mm, sporty, front-wheel arches and 20-inch wheels that are situated outside the vehicle’s body, the T2X has a very athletic stance.
The four-door, which has an overall length of 4,320 mm and an overall width of 1,856 mm, lacks conventional B-pillars and features rear hinged backdoors. Combined with its overall height of 1,666 mm, this allows easy access for both people and cargo. Completing the exterior design is a removable glass roof panel.
The dramatic coupe-style upper body and strong, functional lower exterior theme carry through to the interior of the T2X. Practical lower surfaces contrast with inviting, fabric-covered upper surfaces that have a sporty theme. A mixture of blue fabrics with orange accents provides a cool and neat atmosphere that is in harmony with the stylish exterior.
