My Invex has this same streering wheel and it's a joy to wrap your palms around!
Yes the steering is good to hold specially in 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. With very few features I don't need to take my eye off from road to use any of the buttons. There is no fading on dashboard even after two decades.

Anyways would love to see detail pictures of your invex and if you have any ownership thread please let me know.

Re: Your all-time favorite car interior?

Among interiors, Hyundai/Kia have pretty much locked up most of the segments when it comes to a stylish yet no nonsense, balanced design.

Grand i10 Nios is the benchmark at its segment.
Elite i20, same.
Internationally, their Sonata has world class interiors, aesthetically.
Kia K900 is fantastic.

Verna and Elantra have rather boring interiors though, even though they are priced on the higher side but quality is top notch.

Genesis G70/G80/G90, I'll prefer above any of the big 3 interiors by a mile (subjective of course).

That apart, I'll take the Mini interiors (I love round, curvy shapes), though some Minis develop horrible crunchy rattles on their interiors when pressed (a friend has such a Countryman).

The new Mazda interior design language is luxurious yet striking, to say the least. Their kudo design language is well appreciated by everyone. Among entry-level cars, the Mazda 3 has the best cabin.

I'm surprised Bentley has not been mentioned so far in this thread. Nothing beats Bentley interiors for class, quality and luxury IMO.

Re: Your all-time favorite car interior?

There are some special cars and then some special interiors. But at times you see these interiors that just amplify the sensation of driving that special car and I'm just a sucker for this category. Of course, the affinity towards types of interiors is a matter of personal taste and with that in mind, my personal "Interior Rank" list would be:-

1. Sapne-mein-bhi-aukaad-se-bahar Category - Pagani Huayra
2. Agar-Lottery-lagi-toh Category - Porsche Panamera Turbo
3. Maybe-one-day Category - Corvette C7 / Ford Mustang (Yes the fit and finish are not the same as Germans but they do a tremendous job of making the car feel more special).
4. If-parents-pool-in-money Category - Skoda Octavia RS.
5. Reality-Check Category - Tata Harrier / Kia Seltos.
And lastly,
6. Presently-drooling-over Category - A Singer Porsche 911. Your all-time favorite car interior?-images-1.jpeg
I'm at a loss for words to describe what Singer has achieved here.

Always admired the Lincoln Aviator for the understated class in its interiors.

Re: Your all-time favorite car interior?

It would definitely be my '99 Camry's interior for me.
Pretty functional and easy to use even at this age

Re: Your all-time favorite car interior?

Basic, functional and cosy might be one way of describing it but my Caterham's cabin (if you can call it that) is the perfect place for a driver's car.

Re: Your all-time favorite car interior?

Might sound partial, but i love my Alfa Romeo 159's interior.

Low Seating, Snug seats, centre console which is totally driver centric; passengers hate it, as they cannot view anything while sitting in the next seat.

Love those three dials, which show fuel level, coolant temperature, oil temperature, and can only be viewed while sitting in drivers seat.

Re: Your all-time favorite car interior?

We all expect the luxury brands to have great interiors and that is almost a given. But some mainstream models also offer really high quality and/or well designed interiors which I love. Some I can recollect are as below -

*Peugeot 508 & 3008 -

No this is either a Peugeot 3008 or 5008 interior. Both are identical dashboards.

Thank you. Was in a dilemma. The interior looks really neat.

Re: Your all-time favorite car interior?

Toyota has been pushing out well designed interiors on their recent launches, and this 2020 Harrier’s is no different; my new favourite
