Ryo's take
I swear this wasn't planned beforehand. It was just a moment of dare for Hongyao Zhuang as it was just inches below the trailer.
The earlier days of car design was pretty straight forward, making the overall car geometry to be as low to the ground and compact as possible, resulting in having the passengers sit low in the car.
It is really a case of 'how low can go you go'.
