Movie-theater-style Flix concept vehicle a true show stopper
Last year, American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) launched its
Suzuki LIVE Series (LIFE VEHICLES) a line of brand-dedicated
concept vehicles specially designed for life enthusiasts,
adventurers and thrill-seekers. In concert with its Way of Life
brand proposition, which promises products for active lifestyles,
and to support the launch of the all-new XL7 and SX4, ASMC
introduces four all-new Suzuki LIVE Series vehicles for 2007,
illustrating how its cars and SUVs play an integral part of
consumers everyday life.
The vehicles, coined BaseCamp for outdoor adventure enthusiasts;
Flix for film and entertainment buffs; Zuk for motorcycle and racing
aficionados; and SXBox for avid gamers; are on display at various
auto shows and lifestyle events around the country.
Flix
Built by the Carlab of Orange, Calif., and based on the all-new 2007
XL7, the Flix concept offers film and entertainment enthusiasts the
ultimate mobile movie experience. The Flix's ultra-rich, super-clean
and modern exterior accentuates the redesigned body of the all-new
XL7. The XL7 concept is dressed in midnight black paint with
platinum accents and deep crimson theater red perimeter LED linear
emitters encircling the lower valence of the midsize SUV.
In addition to its eye-catching exterior appearance, the Flix is
outfitted with an unprecedented in-vehicle movie system. After
parking at the optimal film-viewing destination, Flix's clamshell
roof can be opened, revealing a maximum-size moonroof that serves as
a 60-inch movie screen. Additionally, the XL7 concepts front roof
panel vents, giving way to a high-density digital projection system
to display a family's movie of choice. For those who prefer the
traditional drive-in movie experience, Flix's projection system can
be positioned to display movies nearly anywhere the side of a
building, a billboard or almost any wall.
The interior look of the Flix resembles a contemporary private
screening room, dressed in plush materials to evoke elegance and
sophistication. The XL7 concept features four individual bucket
seats that pivot 180 degrees to view the elevated giant screen. The
Flix also is equipped with a next-generation, high-definition DVD
player with integrated hard drive for maximum AV storage, a
professional THX/SDS-theater quality sound system, pivoting quarter
window speakers and red door/floor strip lighting to further enhance
the in-vehicle movie experience.
