The styling extends to the interior with premium finishes resulting in a distinctive look. Notably, the design team included several eco-friendly touches, such as seating made from plant-based and recycled materials to follow the Beyond Zero theme. An in-car personal agent named “Yui” connects the driver and passengers with the vehicle. With the use of audio and visual lighting cues that move around the cabin, it responds to requests or commands from front or rear passengers.
