The new coup\u00e9-SUV could even go into production, based on parent firm Stellantis\u2019s STLA Med platform and potentially wearing a Manta badge.<\/p>\n<p>Vauxhall says that \u201cwith an ultra-modern exterior design, the Experimental gives a clear vision of where the brand will be heading in the coming years.\u201d Called \u2018Bold and Pure\u2019, this next chapter of the design language features a \u20184D\u2019 representation of the brand\u2019s now-familiar Vizor front end.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--O63wnBuu--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1651744818\/autoexpress\/2022\/05\/Vauxhall%20Manta%20exclusive%20images.jpg\">Iconic Vauxhall Manta name to return on new all-electric SUV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An illuminated Griffin logo sits in the centre of the blanked-off grille, which is framed by the firm\u2019s \u2018Compass\u2019, marked by four narrow LED light strips. Vauxhall says the extra dimension of the new 4D Vizor is marked by new hidden tech, including lidar and radar sensors, plus a camera system.<\/p>\n<p>The Experimental\u2019s sleek, coup\u00e9-like silhouette tapers heavily at the rear to boost aerodynamic efficiency, with further solutions, such as aero flaps, at the front and rear, plus a diffuser in the rear bumper (which can be extended or retracted to suit the driving conditions) to boost range.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--xpEpG04R--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1693813011\/autoexpress\/2023\/09\/Vauxhall%20Experimental%20Concept%20Munich.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>There are no wing mirrors, and instead, the car features 180-degree cameras on its blade-like C-pillars. The show car\u2019s Ronal wheels also boast an active aero feature to further improve efficiency. At the rear, the bold surfacing is emphasised by a full-length glass panel, plus another depiction of Vauxhall\u2019s compass lighting signature.<\/p>\n<p>Vauxhall says that the Experimental\u2019s dimensions put it in the compact family-SUV segment, but that its cabin boasts as much space as a car from the class above, thanks to a \u201cspace detox\u201d approach inside.<\/p>\n<p>The concept has a steer-by-wire system, and the steering wheel retracts when not required. There are lightweight adaptive seats trimmed in \u201c3D mesh-technology fabrics\u201d. Vauxhall says its \u201cPure Experience\u201d continues the detox theme, with drivers able to personalise the info shown on the slim Tech Bridge \u2013 the latest evolution of the brand\u2019s Pure Panel infotainment system.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of screens, the system uses projection technology to display data, with AI and voice control also featuring. This is combined with a floating Pure Pad that can show frequently used controls.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--TURbKPJf--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1691497120\/autoexpress\/2023\/08\/Vauxhall%20Experimental%20Concept-10.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Finally, Electrochromic fabrics inside the cabin are said to be reactive and can provide functional benefits, such as the door panels lighting up to warn a driver when a vehicle enters the car\u2019s blind spot.<\/p>\n<p>While some of this tech might still be a way off production, the Experimental could directly preview a new road-going coup\u00e9-SUV, which might even wear the Manta name, as Auto Express previously reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur new Vauxhall Experimental gives a more extreme interpretation of our Bold and Pure design philosophy. It gives shape to our vision of the future\u201d, said the firm\u2019s vice-president of design, Mark Adams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the elements of its design and the mindset behind it will be visible in future production vehicles,\u201d he added, while Vauxhall CEO James Taylor said the Experimental \u201cgives an outlook on upcoming models and technologies, on the future design, even on a new era and the future of the brand\u201d. Don\u2019t expect the concept to morph into a production-ready model until beyond 2025, however.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"imgHideOnJavaScriptDisabled_eexbt16lm4m4u2e polaris__image\" height=\"20\" src=\"\/public\/trustpilot-icon.png\"><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here for our list of the best electric SUVs on sale right now&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/vauxhall\/360636\/new-vauxhall-experimental-concept-makes-public-debut-munich\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vauxhall Experimental Concept previews the brand\u2019s new styling, and it could go into production Vauxhall is set to evolve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236974,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
