Concept Vehicle

Billed as a vision for a bridge between adventure and refinement, the Genesis X Gran Equator Concept has been unveiled at the New York Auto Show. The concept probably won't see production, but it could point towards something that will.

Honda becomes the latest Japanese automaker to debut a micro-camper concept, this one celebrating the CR-V. The CR-V makes a convincing tiny RV when upfitted with a fold-out bed, outdoor kitchen and dining area, and just the right accessories.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries has pulled the covers off perhaps the most outrageous concept vehicle we've ever seen. The Corleo is a two-seater quadruped robot you steer with your body, capable of picking its way through rough terrain thanks to AI vision.

The jaw-dropping Camper Schmiede "Marilyn Onroad" six-sleeper camper van features a delightfully vintage-grade interior with transformable spaces and more outdoor living amenities than you'll find at some parks.

Chevrolet has pulled out all the stops with its 2025 Silverado EV ZR2 concept, a race-tuned version of its all-electric Silverado. It comes fitted with a 'tri-motor electric propulsion system', producing 1,100 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque.

Chery has created a visionary concept van meant to chase adventure with family and friends. The Journeo combines the latest in automated driving tech with next-gen camper features like a slide-out glass pod and deployable frunk kitchen.

French automakers have a thing for quirky designs, and for 2025 Renault has certainly created one. The carmaker recently unveiled the Filante Record 2025, an electric concept aimed at breaking all previous records for range and electric efficiency.

A chopped roof, custom rear-end, and over 50% new fabrication. The Toyota LC ROX (Recreation Open eXperience), is an open-top adventurer prototype with proper retro appeal. It is set to make its debut at the 2024 SEMA Show in Vegas.

Is there any vehicle more adorable than a sub-4-m Japanese micro-camper van? Maybe a next-gen micro-camper built into a versatile van platform that also works as a commercial goods-hauler and mobile pop-up shop? That's the Toyota Kayoibako.

Although best known for its bikes, Yamaha is working on a rather gorgeous-looking electric sports coupe with Caterham EVo. The concept debuted last year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and promises 268 horses for its impressively low curb weight.

The new Ariel E-Nomad concept may not look quite as downright menacing and imposing as a Polaris RZR Pro R (or, for that matter, Ariel's own ICE Nomad), but it definitely throws down the gauntlet.
