IAS miniSUV

IAS, a consortium made up from four different companies (Autostudi, Landra Model, Blue Engineering, & Prototyping and SCS Euro Acoustic) presented the philosophy behind there innovative compact SUV, «miniSUV» which was presented earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show.

Although there are no plans to put the miniSUV into production, it serves as a showcase study for the IAS consortium. The concept car, which was designed for urban and suburban mobility, is characterized for its simplicity. It adopts a four-wheel drive system and 320mm ground clearance which promise to make it suitable for use on all terrains.


Measuring 3.834mm in length, 1.704mm in height and 1.665mm in width, the miniSUV concept seems like a very interesting idea for the like of the Fiat Group. It could base a production model that would let them compete in the quite popular, in Europe, compact SUV category which is dominated now by Japanese models such as the Daihatsu Terios & Suzuki Jimny.
