The Beijing Auto Show continues as Qoros has taken the wraps off the Milestone concept. Featuring an edgy “Qubic Aesthetics” design, the concept embraces “emerging trends in the fields of digitalization, architecture and fashion.”
The Milestone is designed to appeal to
Generation Z and features a distinctive front end with “four-corner daytime
running lights.” The model also sports an
illuminated Qoros logo.
The angular styling continues further back
as there’s a long sloping hood and a rakish windscreen. The model also has
aerodynamic wheels, camera mirrors and bodywork that is described as a “sexy
curved surface.”
However, the car’s most notable feature is
its sliding doors. Once activated by the gesture-controlled ‘handles’, the
doors extend outwards before sliding to the outside edges of the car. The four-door
coupe measures 5,000 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 1,400 mm tall. That makes the concept shorter and narrower than
the Mercedes CLS, but almost the same length.
The company didn’t say much about the
interior, but it features sliding front seats which can retract to cover the
rear seats. This transforms the concept
into a roomy two seater when it’s being driven autonomously. Since people don’t
have to focus on the task of driving, the concept has been equipped with a
holographic projection system that turns the windshield into an entertainment
system. It’s controlled by a detachable
remote control which is mounted on the steering wheel.
