Simon Cox is a British car designer known for the Isuzu Vehicross, Cadillac Cien, Cadillac Converj, and the Opel Speedster.

Simon Cox is known as one of the top car designers in the UK, with his unique and critically acclaimed designs, he is a strong character in the field of car design.

After studying Fine Art, jewellery design, product design and automotive design at the Royal College of Art in London, Cox decided to combine his creative education with one of his other passions – sports cars – after a visit to the 1977 Geneva Motor Show. Cox is a highly experienced, ex-RCA designer, well known for his independence of spirit and for producing iconic designs that have set well-known brands on new paths. He first came to notice in 1993 as creator of the left-field Isuzu Vehicross, a car so much liked by its conservative company management that they put it into a large block of cheese.

Cox worked subsequently in a small, London-based advanced studio for GM Advanced Design Uk as the Design Director, producing trend-setting concepts which have done much to influence Cadillac’s 'look' today. Here, the Cadillac Converj was created. This car was awarded the Design Excellence prize in the concept car category at the 2009 EyesOn Design Awards.
