在东京车展上，雅马哈带来了一款全新的皮卡概念车——CrossHubConcept。虽然新车的造型风格未变会让所有人喜欢，但车厂利用该车试图将摩托车设计理念融入四驱多功能车。而它的货箱内可容纳两辆摩托车。为了提升车辆越野性能，雅马哈工程师进一步提高了悬挂设置，车身离地间隙更大。硕大轮胎和黑色轮圈采用了蓝色轮廓，与车身涂装保持一致。车厂并未公布该车技术数据，只是表示其长宽高分别为4490mm×1960mm×1750mm。虽然该车外观尺寸不大，但内部空间宽敞，足以容纳四名成年人，这主要得益于内部采用钻石形座椅布局。目前还不清楚该车是否投产，不过考虑到雅马哈先前的两款概念车均未投产，因此该车只是作为一款概念车存在也毫不奇怪。
Tokyo: Yamaha Cross Hub Concept
Yamaha did “warn” us that it would bring a new concept car at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, but we had no idea it was going to be a pickup truck. While the exterior styling might not be for everyone, it’s nevertheless an interesting showcar that tries to explore the idea of a four-wheeled utilitarian vehicle from a company primarily known for motorcycles. Speaking of which, the rear cargo bed is big enough to accommodate two of them.
To give it some off-road chops, Yamaha’s engineers have decided to implement a raised suspension setup with a more than generous ground clearance. Chunky tires from Falken hug those shiny black wheels that have a blue outline to match the body paint. Technical specifications have not been provided, other than the concept’s dimensions: 4,490 millimeters (177 inches) long, 1,960 mm (77 in.) wide, and 1,750 mm (69 in.) tall.
It may be small on the outside, but the interior is spacious enough to seat four adults thanks to a rather unusual diamond-shaped seating arrangement. As for the Cross Hub, there’s no word about putting it into production, but that’s not actually a big surprise taking into account two previous concepts haven’t been transformed into road-going models either.
