In the long history of automobile development, there are always some models with weird designs that are difficult to accept. Today we will take stock of the weird designs of several models, so that everyone can have a happy and interesting weekend. Toyota? FJ Cruiser

When it comes to Toyota brand off-road vehicles, everyone will first think of Prado and Cruiser. In fact, in addition to these two cars, Toyota also has an off-road weapon, and with its short wheelbase Its advantages also make it stronger off-road. It is the FJ Cruiser. This car gave me the impression of an off-road vehicle wearing a white baseball cap.

Friends who have never ridden in an FJ Cruiser think it is a short-axle two-door off-road vehicle, but this is not the case. The FJ Cruiser is a four-door off-road vehicle, but the rear door adopts a double-door design similar to that of Rolls-Royce. However, the rear door cannot be opened separately like Rolls-Royce. The front door must be opened first, and then the rear door. Similarly, the closing method is to close the rear door first and then the front door, and the door is very heavy.

This is the first concept car launched in 2003. Looking at it this way, the final mass-produced version actually highly restores the concept car at that time. You must know that this was 17 years ago. At that time, this was indeed It's a very bold approach.

In fact, in addition to Rolls-Royce and FJ that use side-by-side doors, there are also Mazda RX8, MX-30, and Lincoln Continental 80th Anniversary Limited Edition. Is your brain circuit a little confused? FJ Cruiser also has a relatively special design, which is the wiper.

Conventional family cars are equipped with two wipers, which operate in the same direction and in opposite directions, but the FJ Cruiser has three wipers, just like the common wipers on large trucks. , three sets of wipers operate in the same direction.

There is no way, because the size of the FJ Cruiser's front windshield is too wide, so it can only be solved by installing three sets of wipers.

Toyota also released the Tj? Cruiser before, which is also a very cool car. It is built on the TNGA architecture and combines the characteristics of SUV and MPV models. This car is positioned as a crossover SUV, but uses the side sliding door design common in MPVs.

Everyone has seen the multi-function steering wheel of the Peugeot 301 (2014 model), but have you seen the multi-function steering wheel of the Peugeot 301? Come and show it to your friends.

Don’t rush to complain, this car does have a multi-function steering wheel, but the function keys are not on the steering wheel, but on the lever behind the steering wheel. In other words, there are four functions behind the steering wheel of Peugeot 301. In addition to the conventional wiper lever and turn signal lever, there are also a fixed speed and audio lever on the left and right.

Huh? ...Designer, are you serious? However, because it is a French car, this design is also a routine operation.

Nazgye? Big 7? SUV

This time I am not talking about its value retention rate and fuel consumption, but its spare tire. In my past knowledge, the most difficult models to find spare tires are the old Alison and Odyssey. The spare tire is under the floor between the main and passenger seats, and its location is quite hidden.

But after the hybrid versions of the two cars were launched, because the hybrid system had to consider the spatial layout of the battery, the previous spare tire position was replaced with a battery. In other words, the hybrid versions of Odyssey and Alison no longer provide spare tires, but instead provide emergency tire repair fluid. I digress, but where is the spare tire of the Lucky? Big 7? SUV we are talking about? Here it is! (Look at the picture below)

For those of you who don’t know, you may never find out in your lifetime. In addition to being able to see it when it “turns over”, who would have thought that it could place the spare tire here?

Citroen Elysee (2013 model)

As for the unique design of French cars, in addition to the old Peugeot 301 mentioned above, there is also the old Citroen Elysee.

As one of the two must-have coaching vehicles for driving schools back then, many friends couldn’t find the horn when they first got started?

The Elysee’s horn is not on the steering wheel, but is designed on the steering lever...? I don’t know what the designer thought, but if you are not familiar with French cars, you really can’t find it. arrive.

How about it? Is this design weird enough? In fact, not only the Elysee, but also the old Fukang is like this, which is considered traditional. Furthermore, Citro?n has also launched a centrally controlled steering wheel, which integrates various control buttons including cruise control, speed limiter, horn, audio, display screen, etc. These buttons are placed next to the airbag area. Unlike a normal car, when the steering wheel is turned, the airbag and button parts will not rotate with it. This was indeed a "clear stream" at the time. Of course, this avant-garde design has its pros and cons, and its design cannot be completely denied.

So which other models do you know of weird designs? Let everyone take a look in the comment area.
