The **Chrysler Akino** is a [concept car](/source/Concept_car) created by [Chrysler](/source/Chrysler_(division)). The Akino was first shown at the 2005 [Tokyo Motor Show](/source/Tokyo_Motor_Show). It was designed at Chrysler's Pacifica Studio in [California](/source/California) and was named after the designer of the [concept car](/source/Concept_car), [Akino Tsuchiya](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Akino_Tsuchiya&action=edit&redlink=1).[1]

## Design

The Akino was a design concept, as its engine was not tested. It was designed as a modern, [one-box design](/source/Car_body_configurations#One-box_design) for a [subcompact car](/source/Subcompact_car). It only had one door on the driver's side and two doors on the passenger's side, with the rear passenger door being a [suicide door](/source/Suicide_door). Inside, it had 4 seats and a [trunk](/source/Trunk_(automobile)) that opened upwards like most [hatchbacks](/source/Hatchback). The passenger doors opened up in opposite directions, much like the [Honda Element](/source/Honda_Element). The roof also featured an interlocking form which could give out more headroom. The interior of the Akino featured swiveling front seats, both natural and recyclable synthetic fabrics, bamboo flooring, a throw rug and pillows, and mood lighting.[2]
