    1. Design concept


      1. "Sensual - Smart" CONFIDENCE


        • Delivering a combination of sportiness and spaciousness

        • Fusing a advanced, best-in-class HMI* with the interior design

        • Pursuing rich texture and finish provided

        Tech Tips

        *: Interface which offers enhanced visibility of meters, displays and windows in addition to the enhanced operability of the accelerator, brake and steering.

    2. Three specific objectives


      1. Delivering a combination of sportiness and spaciousness.

        A combination of deliver a sporty interior space that surrounds the driver and is that feels laterally spacious, enabled by the new TNGA platform.

      2. Fusing a advanced, best-in-class HMI with the interior design.

        Create a new cockpit space that blends a sophisticated HMI with the interior design. For example, in an effort to achieve this, the intuitive operation that's ease of use has been linked with displays that have depth.

        Additionally, customers can personalize the interior according to their preferences.

      3. Pursuing rich texture and finish provided.

        Aiming for an above-class quality with (1) a seamless component layout, (2) carefully crafted textures and (3) consistency in the use of materials.

  2. FEATURES


    1. Delivering a combination of sportiness and spaciousness (Interior Layout)


      1. A cockpit layout with advanced HMI focused on the steering wheel and meters has been created, combining a space with a sporty feel that surrounds the driver and a continuous flow from the instrument panel to the door to convey a laterally spacious feel of the vehicle interior.

      2. The new design provides a sense of security by enveloping the lower part of the front occupants. The result is a dignified appearance befitting the King of Sedans with a wide and tall center console.

    2. Delivering a combination of sportiness and spaciousness (Packaging)


      1. The design uses TNGA components with reduced size

        A combination of a light, sporty looking instrument panel and spacious interior befit the King of Sedans.


        • A: The thickness of the instrument panel has been reduced, preventing the driver from feeling confined because the driver's field of view is not restricted, even though the cabin height has been lowered.

        • B: The hood, cowl, and belt line have been lowered to increase the forward visibility and the interior's open feel.

    3. A cockpit with a advanced, best-in-class HMI*

      An advanced and seamless panel that can be seen at a glance and incorporates next-generation devices.

      Road information and route guidance obtained from the navigation system are simultaneously displayed both on the headup positioned in the driver's line of sight and the multi-information display located closer to the driver. This information occupies center stage in the driver cockpit space.


      1. Connected navigation system

        The connected navigation system acquires a variety of information from outside sources.

      2. Headup Display

        The headup display communicates simple route guidance and other information for the driver to notice, while details are shown on the multi-information display (which is a manufacturer option).

      3. Multi-information Display

        The MID displays important driving information in an intuitive manner.


        • Route guidance (turn-by-turn navigation information)

        • Safety-related information and monitoring of the vehicle's surroundings

        • Vehicle information, fuel efficiency, time, and settings

        • Audio source, track title, etc.

      Tech Tips

      *: Interface which offers enhanced visibility of meters, displays and windows in addition to the enhanced operability of the accelerator, brake and steering.

    4. Pursuing rich texture and finish provided

      A seamless, meticulous, and sensual design.


      1. Harmonizing long, graceful lines, rhythmical layers, and the unity of different materials creates a distinctive interior.

      2. Clean construction that minimizes the separation of components.

      3. By blending together three overlapping layers a thick, soft pad that supports the occupants' bodies, a panel with the center cluster's functional parts, and rigid panels made of different materials (with wood grain and metal highlights) the design incorporates a series of bold, meticulously executed highlights and harmony to create a space with a high quality finish that befits the King of Sedans.
