TOKYO LIVE 2007: Suzuki X-HEAD Concept

The Suzuki X-HEAD Concept looks like it could be one of the Constructicons from an upcoming Transformers Movie sequel, and Suzuki has given the concept SUV decent off-road and load carrying capacity.

The rear bed can be configured a few ways. One configuration holds a unit called the Camper, which provides sleeping space for 2 adults. The other is called Fashion - I’m not exactly sure what this is but Suzuki says it “provides stylish urban mobility” - I think it’s nothing more than some sort of stylish cover for the rear. Finally, there is Rescue, which includes basic excavator capabilities.

Of course, the rear bed can also be left like a normal pickup bed, which is the version you see in these live photos. There is a little scrambler bike loaded at the back.

More photos after the jump.

    Very utilitarian, like it a lot, especially the storage compartments at the side.

    Inspired by the Brabus Unimog U500 Black Edition perhaps? Maybe the GMC Topkick?

    Practical utility vehicle, if the price is reasonable, it would sell like hot-cakes!

    that is one cool truck!!! but don’t know will it ever reach the shores of bolehland.

  23. BanyakMasukWorkshop said,

    its only a concept, of course it will never reach malaysia.

    but then again, even if it did, it will never sell well. cars like these only work in japan and no where else.

    look at the proton juara, its technically a carbon copy of the mitsubishi townbox except for a proton badge, and it never sold well in malaysia. but in japan, you will see the “juara” aka townbox everywhere on the streets. very popular there.

    thats the reason why there are so many different cars for so many different markets, with even the same models marketed differently and with different names in different countries. Honda is a good example, with different cars in the US, and Europe, and japan, and to a certain extent, even in South east asia.

    I think this is a really cool concept. You either hate it or love it…and I love it! =)

  25. azrai said,

    Suzuki own version of Juara.

    That looked so freaking cool!
    And the idea behind it is awesome, as well.
    Love the exterior, but the interior is just a tad too futuristic for me.

    The chick’s not bad, either! :D
