The LQ cabin is designed with a futuristic, forward-projecting silhouette that puts Yui at the center of the instrument panel, with lines that flow from the inside of the vehicle out across its exterior. The minimalist interior is smooth and sleek, with key elements like air conditioner vents hidden behind invisible registers. The 3D-printed center console is reinforced using the design technique of topology optimization, which provides optimal strength and supports an advanced vehicle interior with fewer support structures visible to the driver.<\/p>\n<\/div>

With the LQ, we are proud to propose a vehicle that can deliver a personalized experience, meet each driver\u2019s unique mobility needs, and build an even stronger bond between car and driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
