Hello everyone, this is RV information. Due to different national conditions, the car culture of each country is also different. The best-selling products in the United States are the bold pickup trucks, while the compact K-car is popular in Japan. As a result, the RV culture in different places is also very different. How to make a RV using K-car chassis? The Japanese are still the best at solving such difficult problems. Today, the editor will introduce to you an exquisite Japanese RV to see if we can get some new inspiration for playing RVs from it.
This RV is built on the Suzuki Kari mini-truck chassis, and its compact appearance is very cute. The white body is very simple without too many decorations. The power system of this chassis uses a 0.66-liter in-line 3-cylinder dual overhead camshaft gasoline engine, matched with a 5-speed automatic transmission, front and rear drive, which is basically enough to drive such a lightweight body.
The external dimensions of the vehicle are: 3395*1475*1930 (mm), which is similar to our common minibuses. This is also within the maximum size range of K-cars specified in Japan. The exterior of the car body is equipped with a forehead storage compartment, awning, electric steps, entry armrests, power interface and rear parking legs, which is no less than that of a large RV.
The most distinctive feature of this car is the patented side expansion hard roof design. In parking mode, the cabin can be extended to the side by 515mm. At the same time, the original outer compartment is raised as a rigid triangular roof, and the vehicle height reaches 2860mm. After such "deformation", the length, width and height dimensions of the interior of the carriage can reach 1850*1970*2100 (mm), which is really amazing.
After talking about the appearance, you must be very curious about the specific layout of the car, so let’s take a look. It can be seen from the data map that due to the side expansion mechanism, the space inside the cabin is pretty good, almost twice as large as in driving mode. There is a four-door cabinet at the rear of the car, with a stainless steel sink on the countertop, which functions as a sink and a storage cabinet. There are two water tanks placed in the cabinet, corresponding to clean water and sewage respectively. The capacity is small and is only used for daily washing.
The combination of solid wood furniture and khaki interior panels has a strong Japanese decoration style. A sofa with two booths occupies a large part of the other space in the carriage. There is a foldable dining table in the middle of the sofa seat, which is suitable for two people to dine. When it's time to rest at night, the dining table can be put away and the sofa folding panels can be opened to form a double bed, which can easily accommodate a young couple. There is also a power outlet at the bedside, which can be used to charge mobile phones and other electrical appliances while resting. If necessary, a hydraulic bed board can be added to the hard roof to turn the roof into a small loft for children to sleep.
The bottom of the sofa hides electrical equipment such as inverters and batteries, which does not take up valuable space in the car. However, due to incomplete information, the specific specifications of the circuit and water tank are unknown, which is a pity.
This exquisite and compact RV is full of surprising designs, and it is fully suitable for a couple or even a family of three. The data shows that the price is about 150,000 yuan. Do you think it is worth it?
