Daewoo Oto

The Oto follows on from a previous Daewoo concept, the DMS-1, in being a coupe / SUV hybrid. It is a distinctly different design to the Flex with a different design language and completely different grille – almost as if it were another brand. But it is similar to the Flex in that it also disguises its size well, being slightly lower, but otherwise the same size as the Jeep Cherokee/Liberty. This helps the Oto to offer seating for seven, the rear 2 rows of 3 being accessed through suicide rear doors who’s shut lines can just be made out in the photograph here.

The abrupt front of the car sits on an otherwise handsome body that seems to successfully mix SUV and coupe design cues to deliver an appealing hybrid product, similar to the Bertone Sportut of 1998 or Jeep Compass from earlier this year.
