Imagine a car that you can drive around in the city and when you are going for a family road trip, it transforms into a bigger car. This is the concept of the Renault Morphoz. The car that transforms to become a bigger car, when needed.
Now, the Morphoz is a unique concept for future SUVs. It is essentially a hybrid between an SUV and a minivan. The most unique feature of this car is that it transforms according to the driver’s needs. Confused? Alright, imagine you are using the Morphoz to go to the office every day through the busy city roads. Now, you plan a road trip with your family and Willy (yes, you have a pet dog) the next weekend. To fit the extra stuff and provide the luxury of more space inside, the car physically transforms into a bigger! How would you like that? Pretty cool, right?
This is an actual feature of the Morphoz. The car can physically elongate its body to become as big as a very big minivan. When the car is in its default form, the length of the car remains at 4.4m with a 2.3m long wheelbase. However, when this transformer evolves into a travel version, the length of the car becomes 4.8m with a wheelbase length of 2.93m. City Mode | Image: Renault
Shared Battery for Every Morphoz
The way the extension works is also quite unique. The driver needs to bring the car to a pre-built battery station, where the 50 kWh battery is stored. As the driver parks the car on the battery station, the car automatically extends and opens up the undertray. The 50 kWh battery is then placed inside this tray to complete the transformation process.
