19. Influence on Future SUV Design

Its use of bold cladding, athletic proportions, and coupe-like rooflines can be seen echoed in later vehicles such as the Toyota FJ Cruiser and Nissan Juke.
Carscoops notes that many automakers have since drawn inspiration from the VehiCROSS, proving its radical design was not only ahead of its time but also influential for years to come.
