The concept car that was supposed to have been beautiful was successfully marketed, but something is different. There is such a thing, do not you think? For example Concept Style Coupe and CLA marketed one year later.

Although the top is a concept and the bottom is a commercial version, the beauty of the overall design, the balance, etc. are overwhelmingly better for the concept car. But if it says whether it is completely different design, it is not such a reason. It certainly is very similar.

But, there is magic there.

First of all, the three-dimensional feeling of the overall modeling is more expressive in concept cars. The commercial version also considers the manufacturing cost, so the press would have been simplified to a simpler shape. And the quality of painting is totally different, the size and design of the wheel are completely different.

The concept of the side window also makes the glass area considerably thinner, but when it becomes a commercial car, it expands vertically. The shape of the headlamp is totally different, and the side mirror is also a shape that can not clear the regulations.

Viewed from the back, the concept is very graceful in the shape of the trunk lid as trunk capacity can also be ignored. The quality of the tail lamp and how to use the LED are completely different. The car height is also dropped to a level that is impossible with a commercial car, and it is a Tsuraichi wheel setting.

However, the size is actually important.

Overall width 1,891 × total height 1,398 x total length 4,637 mm (CONCEPT)

Overall Width 1,780 × Total Height 1,440 x Total Length 4,645 mm (CLA 180)

Yes, the concept car is larger than the commercial model by 11 cm in width. Width is the most important factor in car styling. No matter how much you design the Corolla size coupe, you never see Ferrari or Lambo. It is because the width is small. In other words, the concept car is wide, unlikely to be wide, short and short, against the whole length. It is truly clever.

Of course, the role of the concept car is to show a new design proposal as a form, so it is natural to say that it is natural to show it in the shape that looks best, unlike commercial vehicles. However, when it is marketed in reality, it will be rebuilt in the harsh reality conditions and it will be ordinary figure.

One design. Its ideal and reality figure. I guess it is such a thing.
