Interior Design


Recommended Posts

One of the reasons I chose the IS300h is the interior design.

Compared to the opposition I am happy I made the right choice. The XE is dissapointing for a new design and the C class has the ICE screen sort of tacked on. The Audi is ok but a bit dull. BMW ok ish but dated. Volvo not for me just looks cheap. I quite like the Infiniti Q50. I still think the Lexus shines above the others for overall design.

Although I have really enjoyed 2 and a bit years with my 2013 C Class, the new one was just not on my list - short or long - because of that awful screen, looks like an iPad blu-tacked onto the dashboard.

It seems I am not the only one who finds the trend for "tacked on " screens a disappointment. Thank goodness Lexus decided to intergrate it into the design of the dash.

The new c class boasts a nice design apart from that horrible screen, however, having sat in one, the quality is not as good as the IS in terms of materials. Their artico leather is durable but very hard and details like padding in the armrests are not that good. The seats in the IS are also superior

I thought it was just me that didn't like the latest trend for what looks like an I pad added on as an afterthought, what is wrong with blending into the dash , also helps with fewer reflections.

I wonder what the repair cost would be when some scrote tries to rip the screen oft to fit in his saxo?

The only down side so far of the Lexus for me is the storage... Unless there are hidden ones I have yet to find. For things like my keys, sun glasses fuel receipts coins for toll roads etc. that could be improved on.

A colleague gave me a lift home in his BMW 3 series GT. (3 series hatch back) It looked nice enough from the outside in a BMW way and the hatch had power open & close nice!

Once inside the seats were like sitting on ply wood flat & hard!! The dash was basic looking and he took ages getting his TomTom out and sticking on the suction mount. It also sounded like a tractor and seemed noisier than my wifes diesel Insignia which imho has a better interior.

What is the attraction of BMW`s I just dont see it.
