2021 Suzuki Misano by IED

Suzuki have teamed up with design students at IED to imagine a motorcycle inspired roadster. Instead of driver and passenger sitting side by side like in a regular car, the Misano has a tandem setup with the passenger located directly behind the driver on the same side of the car. This unusual asymmetrical layout has a battery pack and storage area along the blank side of the car, and the cockpit utilises a control sick in leu of the traditional steering wheel.

“Thanks to the collaboration between IED and the brand Suzuki, a new concept vehicle was created looking both at the compact car and motorcycle Suzuki’s manufacturing,” Suzuki Design Center Director Kimihiko Nakada said. “Misano is a thesis born out of the passion of young designers and developed as a project in a design center to offer the next generation a new lifestyle experience.”
