기술에 기반한 자동차 외형 변천사와 근미래 상용 전기 세단 외형디자인 경향 연구

Abstract

Nowadays, car design is starting to deviate a lot from traditional design styles and new standards are emerging. These changes are made possible by the use of new technologies invented in the automobile in each era, broadening the scope of design applicable to automobiles. In transition to an electric car system with motors, more advanced technologies have been incorporated into the automobile industry, and new technologies that will emerge in the near future will change the car’s exterior design differently from what it is now. Therefore, research is needed to analyze and predict these changes. This paper aims to provide feature analysis and propose designs for changes in the exterior design of near-future commercial electric sedans. The research method and process referred to the relevant thesis data to macroscopically summarize the technologies applied from the beginning of automobiles to the present and the changes in appearance accordingly. In addition, the scope of the commercial sedan’s exterior design was narrowed down to organize important design elements in the sedan exterior design and analyzed the change elements based on technological development. Representative elements of change were analyzed as examples of Mercedes-Benz’s two sedan models, and the design trends of other automobile brands were compared and contrasted to provide a basis for the argument. In addition, based on the derived design trend, a new external design was proposed for commercial electric sedans in the near future. In addition, ideas that can be applied to the expanded greenhouse were proposed together by combining them with newly announced screen technology, and other character line location changes were also proposed. So, These design changes are expected to significantly change the exterior design of near-future commercial electric sedans. Finally, through this study, it is expected to be of little help to research automobile design trends.
