OUTLINE
Aim of Interior Design: Avant - Gorgeous
The interior space, which emphasizes hospitality, pursues spacious comfort and a sense of belonging to a dignified class of vehicles. Through a "fresh structure" and "craftsmanship", a high-impact and unique sense of luxury is expressed.
Daring Structure (Dignified Center Cluster and Wideness)
Expressing a profoundly dignified center cluster within a seamless and wide interior.
Expressing expansiveness with the flow between the front pillar and trim, and wideness with the thin lower portion of the instrument panel.
Independent, pushed out center cluster expressing dignity befitting the vehicle's class.
Elaborate Workmanship (Pursuit of Materials with Genuine Feel)
Metallic ornamentation expressing sharp surfaces like sculptured metal.
Woodgrain pattern ornamentation combined with different materials, giving the impression of artwork.
Fusion of textures contrasting the taut, modern impression of firm leather with the easy-to-understand, luxurious impression of soft leather.
Heritage from First Generation of Luxury Class Minivan (Hospitality for Each Occupant)
Delighting both the driver and passenger.
Enhanced feeling of quality and comfort in the rear seats, and a sense of unity created in the front to third-row seat area.

MAIN FEATURES
Interior Design
The structure from the instrument panel to the front pillar and front door trim uses a seamless design to express an expansive interior space (A in illustration). Furthermore, the thickness of the lower portion of the instrument panel has been reduced and a rounded structure is used to achieve expanded knee space (B in illustration).
The front pillar has been made narrower and provided with a forward-thrusting structure to ensure a spacious field of view (C in illustration).
Figure 2. Instrument Panel Area 1
The center portion of the instrument panel is composed of the audio control panel, air conditioning control assembly, shift lever, etc., and uses an independent forward-thrusting structure to express a dignified presence.
