New car life proposal from ALPINE
ALPINE STYLE is an initiative to integrate ALPINE car audio into the lifestyle. In addition to audio, ALPINE’s shops offer aero parts, custom parts, vehicle sales, and other services to help users enjoy a richer car life.
The popular Hiace and Raize have been transformed into American style
ALPINE STYLE has been selling vehicles with aero parts and audio setups and has finally created a model with a major exterior modification.
The Carica is based on the Toyota Hiace with square LED headlights and a significantly modified bumper, while the Havana is based on the Toyota Raize, a compact SUV that looks like another car.
The Carica, based on the Hiace, has a wide range of variations
The Carica was designed to fulfill the desire of young people to “live freely with the sky and sea of California”.
The distinctive front end is now equipped with four square horizontal headlights, a chrome louvered grille, and a chrome bumper with over-riders. The chrome rear bumper matches the front bumper, and the chrome waistline and offset license plate pockets add a stylish touch.
The Carica is also available in EURO style. The grille is blacked out and a chrome bumper is installed. The sides are black resin. The wheels are Balken LHOTZE wheels with intricate spokes that give the car power and elegance. Whitewall tires give the car a retro-sporty look. Although they are the same Carica, they have different tastes.
Based on a small SUV, the Havana is also easy to handle
The other, Havana, is based on the Raize, a small SUV, making it compact and easy to handle, easy to get in and out. Havana was named for the image of Havana, Cuba’s capital city, where good old American cars are still in use.
It features nostalgic square headlights, a square front face, and bulging fenders. The rear also features rectangular taillights and wood grain panels, and the styling embodies neo-classicism.
Until now, the aero parts and audio systems offered by ALPINE STYLE have been aimed primarily at male users in their 30s and 40s. However, the new Carica and Havana will be nostalgic to the older generation and fresh neo-classic to the younger generation. Inquiries have come from a wide range of age groups, both male and female.
