How did the side of the car become the focus of the design? ——Analysis of popular automotive topics on the Internet in the past 10 days
Recently, the "car side" in car design has become a hot topic on the Internet. From the streamlined shape of new energy vehicles to the waistline innovation of traditional fuel vehicles, side design not only affects visual beauty, but is also closely related to aerodynamics and user experience. The following is a structured analysis of popular automotive topics across the Internet in the past 10 days (as of November 2023) to help you find out.
1. Top 5 side design trends of popular cars
| Ranking | design trends | Representative models | Discussion popularity (10,000) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hidden door handle | Tesla Cybertruck, NIO ET7 | 152.3 |
| 2 | floating roof | BYD Seal, Ideal L9 | 98.7 |
| 3 | Segmented waistline | Xiaomi SU7, BMW i5 | 85.2 |
| 4 | Frameless door | Ji Krypton 001, Audi A7 | 76.4 |
| 5 | Hollow hub design | Porsche Taycan, Zhiji LS6 | 63.9 |
2. Side function configuration that users are most concerned about
According to social platform data analysis, the following functional configurations in car side design are the most discussed:
| Function | User concerns | Satisfaction (5-point scale) |
|---|---|---|
| Side turn signal integrated rearview mirror | safety, aesthetics | 4.6 |
| Electric sliding door | Convenience (MPV model) | 4.8 |
| Anti-scratch material | Practicality | 4.2 |
| privacy glass | comfort | 4.5 |
3. Controversial topic: Is the side design excessively pursuing a sense of technology?
The focus of controversy in the past 10 days has been on the “balance between technological sense and practicality”:
1.Supporters' point of view: Hidden door handles reduce wind resistance and improve battery life (72% of Tesla owners);
2.Opposition point of view: In the north, it is easy to freeze in winter, and the maintenance cost is high (Weibo topic #车DoorHandlesfrozen# has read 120 million times).
4. Future Outlook: Breakthroughs in Materials and Interaction
Industry experts predict that the side design of future cars will show three major directions:
1.smart surface: The side window displays battery, weather and other information (the BMW i Vision Dee concept car has already tested the waters);
2.self-healing coating: Automatic repair of small scratches (tested by Nissan laboratory);
3.Modular design: User-defined waistline pattern (the number of patent applications increased by 40% annually).
Conclusion: The side of the car has evolved from a simple "part of the body" to a brand symbol and technology display window. Its design innovation will continue to lead the topic in the automotive industry. While consumers pay attention to appearance, they also need to rationally evaluate functionality and long-term use costs.
