Less is more: In its volume and formal specification, the middle console already embodies a formal connection to motor and transmission. The gear shift knob is positioned ideally. So that while driving the right hand forms a direct line to the strength flow between motor, transmission and all wheel drive. The completely reduced design of the cockpit, however, appears to be floating in the room. A central round instrument allows for concentrating on essentials. Standing out is the formal integration of the climate exhaust which intentionally are used as a dominant design element. Their large space grid structure carries functional elements like the Multi-Media-Interface.


Showing true colors: The future of the interior design is accompanied by a non judgmental handling of the different materials from all provenances. The familiar re-interpreted mixed provocatively with pure innovation. Already the names are proof of courage and fantasy: The fixtures are covered with black patent leather named "Black Reflection" the applications magnesium painted in "Frozen Ice". The doors as well as other interior lining parts again turn to the colors "Black Reflection" and "Frozen surface" (black nubuk leather and silver applications). The light middle lanes of the seats are upholstered with the high tech fabric "Antarctica", a half transparent and extremely breathable fiber. The sitting cheeks and leg rests are then again decorated with black smooth and suede leather. That leaves the carpet in the light tone "Ice Crystal" which says it all.
