This project is to design an ultimate Pick-up truck/SUV solution to American families with flexible cabin/trunk bed arrangement and perfect balance between comfort and functionality.

New lifestyle offered by 2030 Volkswagen Kronos, with the unique concept of versatile cabin/trunk-bed layout.

Market research illustrates the importance of a pickup truck product line to Volkswagen and historically, Volkswagen has a unique package of pickup truck. Feeling inspired, I dug deeper into user research and a typical American family of 4 is selected, with the needs of versatile lifestyles.
