Design Theme
Tough and Emotional
A tough sense of security as a workspace is provided. A satisfying refinement for a sense of private use is also expressed.
Instrument Panel
The instrument panel expresses the refined qualities of a passenger car with a private feel combined with a tough sense of security as a workspace.
Flowing metallic ornamentation is used above the solid, strong cross-section that expands horizontally from the meter to give a sense of expansiveness and emotionality in the midst of a tough sense of security.
The door trim, meter and steering all match the design of the instrument panel by using a solid, tough design and metallic ornamentation. A refined atmosphere, appropriate for the sense of security as a workspace and sense of private use, is produced throughout the entire interior.
A large storage compartment with a lid is provided for the front passenger seat side. The harmony of the design and quality of logically laid-out functional components that exist within the simple yet tough overall structure expresses functional beauty.
Soft skin is used for the dial knob of the instrument panel register assembly center.
