Dyson has released new images of its abandoned electric SUV project, giving us a complete look inside and out of the firm’s abandoned Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace rival.

Alongside these new pictures, the British company has detailed some of the chassis and battery technology that was due to underpin it too.

In April, Dyson released the first official picture of the car - a side profile shot backing up patent drawings previously published by trademarking authorities. Now though, we can see the design in greater detail, in particular the highly aerodynamic shape Dyson derived for the SUV.

The windscreen has a very shallow rake, while the surfacing of the car is clean all the way around to the rear, where a shallow rear window leads the tailgate. Small headlights similar to those on an Aston Martin Vantage are the only feature of note on the model’s front end, which features a horizontal air intake and two vertical ones positioned on each corner of the front bumper.

Huge, 24-inch aerodynamic wheels are fitted - something Sir James Dyson says is central to the car’s design, not only from an aesthetic standpoint but also for low rolling resistance and ride comfort. Smaller details include flush door-handles, tiny camera stalks in place of the wing mirrors and protruding, squared off wheel arches. Around the back, LED tail lights are positioned high on each corner of the tailgate.

Inside, the Dyson car seats up to seven with a three row configuration using seats designed for posture support. “I hate the 1930s armchair look that car seats typically have and I haven’t yet found a car seat that has proper lumbar support. We wanted a more elegant, structural seat,” explained Dyson.

The interior is upholstered with fabric rather than leather. The car relies on a central infotainment screen in the middle of the dashboard. There is no traditional instrument panel - a head up display projects onto the windscreen, right in front of the driver. Almost every button to control the car is on the steering wheel, while further displays sit at each side of the dashboard - live feeds for the camera based side mirror system. The car’s climate control system uses air filtration technology developed from Dyson’s home products.
