Flowing surfaces in the door panels accentuating the length
of the interior.
The trim bar stretching together with a metal band in a powerful sweep over the
entire width of the dashboard continues into the door panels. The impression of
a fully enclosed area cocooning all of the car’s occupants created in this way is
further enhanced by the harmonious design of the panels on the front and rear
doors in terms of their shape and colour scheme.
Interplay of ascending and descending lines and contours throughout the entire
length of the interior creates a homogeneous look establishing a clear optical
connection between the front and rear seats. All lines and the surfaces finished
in top-quality materials extend all the way back to the rear seats, giving the
interior its truly comfortable and spacious character.
At the same time the dynamic flow of lines not even interrupted by the B-pillars
further accentuates the length of the interior so crucial to the generous space
available.
A closer look reveals the subtle play of surfaces with individual elements chang-
ing not only in shape, but also in function. The centre section of the door panels,
for example, is strongly contoured around the front seats and even offers
a footrest function. Then, moving back to the rear, these contours come out
even more strongly and the entire area turns to the inside, the concave surface
created in this way ultimately leading back to the armrests on the rear seats.
In the dark the generous feeling of space within the interior is further accentu-
ated by the ambient light effect, bands of light integrated in the dashboard
beneath the trim bar generating indirect illumination in a warm shade of orange.
Light bands are also placed beneath the trim bar around the door panels,
discreetly illuminating the armrests.
As an option this ambient light effect may be further enhanced by illuminated
entry bars, light bands in the centre console at the front and behind the vertical
trim bars at the rear, as well as further sources of light in the area of the centre
armrest, the door pockets and on the backs of the front-seat backrests.
Clear concept of materials and colours within the interior.
The concept of materials and colours within the interior enhances the impres-
sion of personal luxury inside the passenger compartment as well as the
interplay of surfaces and lines. All surfaces within the interior come in top-quality
