The Chrysler Akino was a concept car created by Chrysler. The Akino was first shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. The Akino was designed at Chrysler's Pacifica Studio in California and was named after the designer of the concept car, Akino Tsuchiya.
Design
The Chrysler Akino was a design concept, as its engine was not tested. The Akino was designed as a modern and still artistic design for a subcompact car. It only had one door on the driver's side and two doors on the passenger's side although it also had 1 suicide door. Inside, it had 4 seats and a trunk that opened upwards like most hatchbacks. The passenger doors opened up in opposite directions, much like the Honda Element. The roof also featured an interlocking form which could give out more headroom. If it were ever produced, the Chrysler Akino could have been a front-wheel-drive subcompact car and it could also have been a 5-door hatchback with conventional rear doors and it would have been produced in mid-January 2018 and it was related to the Lancia Ypsilon and the Chrysler Ypslion.
