Another highlights of the Coventry University Automotive & Transport Design Show 2025 was Honglin Lai’s Volkswagen sports pick-up concept - a design that blends utility, performance.
Honglin took the idea of a traditional pick-up and injected it with sports-car DNA with a low, aggressive stance while maintaining the practicality. The design struck a harmonic tone between everyday usability and weekend thrill-seeker appeal.

Flashback to Coventry University Automotive and Transport Design Show 2025, one project in particular stopped visitors in their tracks — Kanguk Choi’s visionary Lexus concept.
Kanguk reimagined Lexus’s design language with a bold yet elegant interpretation that perfectly balanced luxury and innovation. The proportions were confident and athletic, while the surface treatment carried that signature Lexus sophistication — sharp, precise lines flowing seamlessly into sculpted, dynamic forms.
The design conveyed distinctive brand cues ensured it was unmistakably Lexus.
Presented as a beautifully executed physical model, the concept brought the vision to life in three dimensions, allowing every contour and shadow to be appreciated up close. It wasn’t just a model — it was a statement of creativity, skill, and deep brand understanding.
Kanguk’s work is a perfect example of why Coventry remains a leader in nurturing the next generation of world-class automotive designers.

Throwing it back to one of the most compelling automotive design concepts from the Coventry University Automotive and Transport Design Show.
Lee Seung Choel's design stood out not just for its ex*****on, but for the strength of its concept - a bold, forward-thinking approach to urban transport and city walking. The designer demonstrated a deep understanding of proportion, brand language, and user experience, blending it all into a cohesive vision.
What made this project exceptional was its clarity and confidence, well-resolved surfaces, and the detailing showed real sensitivity to material and form.
Beyond the aesthetics, the design responded thoughtfully to future challenges in urban mobility, with a focus on sustainability, user-centric innovation, and refined packaging. With a micro e-bike it felt like a concept rooted in reality.
