DESIGN, AESTHETICS, ALLURE. HERE'S 3 TO DREAM ABOUT by John Crawford

My recent exposure to photos of BMW's new EV has pushed me to my limits of acceptance of radical styling. In no particular order, here are three new SUV concepts from internationally-acclaimed designers Ian Callum, Marek Reichman and Andrew Smith. A Scotsman, a Brit, and an Aussie - proving good design knows no boundaries.

It's the Jaguar i-Pace; Aston Martin DBX; Cadillac Lyriq. All exemplify sophisticated surfacing, style lines, and beautifully-proportioned shapes.

And then, there's this - the BMW iX, without doubt one of the ugliest cars to emanate from the four-cylinder building in München, and for one of the few times in my life - words fail me.
