Car-culture has evolved not only when it comes to powerful engines and sustainable and eco-friendly models, it has also evolved as a personal identity for some car owners.
Electronic Vehicles (EVs) have become the perfect canvas for this shift. Without the limitations of combustion engines, designers are free to explore new forms and aesthetics. The result is a new breed of vehicle that feels as natural in a design museum as it does on the road. EVs are prompting us to rethink what makes a car beautiful.
It used to be that automotive design was shaped by the mechanical needs of combustion engines and transmissions. Gas, diesel and hybrid powertrains need room to spin and breathe, sometimes at the expense of space and aesthetics. EVs remove those constraints, opening the door to cleaner and more innovative design.
These latest EVs lean towards aesthetics, aside from functionality. It echo the clean lines of modern architecture and fashion. Designers are favoring smooth surfaces, sculpted silhouettes and flush panels that reduce drag while elevating visual appeal.
Aerodynamics has shifted from a purely engineering concern to a pillar of aesthetic identity. Rounded fronts, long windshields and sloping rooflines not only improve airflow but also define the new visual language of EVs.
Lighting design has also taken on new significance. LED arrays and distinctive light signatures now serve as brand identifiers, much like logos. Interiors have followed suit, favoring simplified layouts, open cabins and modern materials. Manufacturers are experimenting with sustainable options like vegan leather to appeal to environmentally conscious buyers.
The VinFast V7 is designed by Italy's Torino Design. The design perfectly blends philosophy without losing its concept-car spirit. It is a futuristic design that has the essence of a functional vehicle.
The all-electric C-SUV draws inspiration from aerospace engineering, especially supersonic aircraft. Its sharp lines and bold forms suggest speed and precision, even at rest. Hidden door handles, widened proportions and a tapered roofline contribute to both visual drama and improved aerodynamics. All of these are the result of over 80,000 hours of work by Torino
The interior continues to embrace what Torino Design calls its 'Asymmetric Aerospace' philosophy, with a driver-fcoused cockpit that prioritized the person behind the wheel. The driver-focused cockpit prioritized functionality, while clean lines and minimal physical controls reflect contemporary tastes.
But of course, this is not just about looks. The Plus model delivers 500 Nm of torque, accelerating from 1 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. It will provide drivers with that familiar push-back-in-your-seat feeling.
The Base model, with a single motor, offers a 430km range on a full charge. Both versions include features like hill-start assist, traction control and adaptive cruise control. A 10-year battery warranty underscores VinFast's focus on durability and peace of mind.
With that in mind, the future of EVs are indeed promising. EV automakers are now designing cars that expresses identity as much as they deliver performance. As more EVs enter the market, their evolving design language may not only influence how cars look but redefine what we value in the vehicles we choose.
