"Started" (or at least most heavily promoted) by
Chrysler/
Dodge, cab-forward has become more and more prevalent in car designs, especially in
North America in recent years. A cab-forward
vehicle has many design
properties:
-
Wheels are located close to the corners of the vehicle. Increases
interior space but also increases turning radius.
- Body is more smoothly
blended/
streamlined. Looks pretty good (in my opinion), but places the
a-pillars close to the driver's
line of sight.
- Larger
windows resulting from larger
passenger compartment
