Title: New X-Head Video
Post by: Davyboy on December 05, 2007, 10:47:44 AM
Check out this new X-Head video on Youtube:

I think this thing is cool.....and I see a solid rear axle in the back.....lots of ground clearance, big tires and spacious wheel wells.  LOL...What was Suzuki thinking  :P  ???  Let's bombard them with emails and get 'em to build this thing!  Looks like a highly developed alien race built their own version of an old Scout or Bronco.

Some really cool ideas. I really like the animations at about 5:00 they have cartoons of this thing doing stuff that we do!

What's the motor in it? It looks huge (or the model is really short). Front end reminds me of a Unimog or Mercedes or something. If Suzuki ever ships them to the states, I bet the price will be reasonable. Maybe in line with the Toyota FJ Cruiser. I'd buy one. ;D

The racks for the mini bikes are too user specific but I really like the side compartments on the box and inside the doors.  I really hope they build this!   Can you imagine a 4 door version?  OMG that would be cool!  :P

I think that this design shows some promise. Which means we will probably never see it stateside.  >:(

interesting consept. I'm luke warm on it but it shows promise. Seems they took the Honda Element and applied the idea to a 4x4 truck.
Things I like;
-cab, reminds me of a Volvo rock truck.
-wheel base and height .
-storage compartments, very little wasted space.
-the cab forward 4x4 pick up idea.
What I don't like;
-to much electronic crap.
-the tailgate hinges gotta go, a regular flop down gate would be better.
-ditch the greedy boards, a regular flat top box would be better, then a canopy could be made.
-front bumper, grill and forward lights are hidious, I can't believe a group of educated designers looked at the front of that truck and decided that was the look they needed.

I love many of the concepts but the styling leaves a lot to be desired.

I wonder what chassis they built it on? I see the 5 lug, maybe a jimny chassis, but it looks larger than a jimny.

One of the best bits of the Tokyo motor show is soaking up all the genuinely deranged concepts on display: bizarre visions of the future that go way beyond the standard gull-wing doors and plasma screen interiors.

Just like this: the Suzuki X-Head. A flexible flatbed off-roader - we think - it's a Tonka toy for grown-ups.
And we love it. The X-Head's schtick is that the load-bed can hold various different 'units', transforming it into a camper van, a builder's ute or even an emergency vehicle.

We know that the X-Head is a bit over three-and-a-half metres long - which makes it a bit shorter than a Jeep Wrangler - and that it'll be powered by a 1.4-litre engine, but beyond that it's all a bit of a guess.
