The Chevrolet Miray (Korean for "future") was a concept car designed, branded, and built by Chevrolet. Introduced at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show, the car showed a “mid-electric” concept.[1]

Design

[edit]

Exterior

[edit]

The exterior of the Miray was made of carbon fiber and had an angled groove on the side that lighted underneath it.[1] It had LED headlights and a dual port grill.[1] At the rear, there were retractable flaps that gave the vehicle additional airflow.[1] The concept had aluminum-carbon fiber composite wheels that were 20 inches in the front and 21 inches in the back.[1] Occupants enter the vehicle through scissor doors.[1]

Interior

[edit]

The interior was composed of brushed aluminum, natural leather, white fabric, and liquid metal materials.[1] A projected instrument panel showed the performance of the Miray. The cockpit was inspired by the Chevrolet Corvette.[1]

Functionality

[edit]

Instead of traditional side mirrors, rearview cameras emerged from the side windows while a front-facing camera showed real-time video that was overlaid on the GPS navigation.[2]
