Of those specific ten interiors listed, I'd agree with the Chrysler 300, Audi A7, and Infiniti JX35....I'm not that impressed with the others. But I also think that the Buick Enclave and Rolls-Royce Phantom interiors should be on the list. They are both my idea of what a nice rich, warm interior should look like, though the Enclave has a lot of simple plastic under that surface-bling.

(of course, I also understand that the Phantom's interior is not that of a high-volume production car, either, and is done in small numbers)

Among production cars, the Hyundai Equus, IMO, also has a stunning interior...especially for the price.

I like the Evoque, A7, CX-5, 300 interiors.

I'm sure next year will be better with the IS, Q50, Vette etc...

mmarshall

Agree on the 300 and A7...and notice they are in 1st and 2nd place.

Just interesting how lists like this have zero impact/correlation to sales success.

ATS in Morello red looks good.

spwolf

it has cheap interior for the price... several long term reviews such as AutoBlog and Edmunds reported that their leather seats started peeling after 6 months.

This list is pure crap.

I find the steering wheel and the silver console and center dash trim cheap looking and ugly.

I'm not impressed with most of that top 10 list at all.

How could Sonic get onto the list? I agree that it has an offbeat interior,but being unique doesn't make it a great interior does it?
I would put the new Lexus LS's interior on the list. I agree with CX-5 and Beetle though.

This list is rubbish.

It's more like a list of 10 best econocar interiors except for the A7. Bizarre beyond belief.

List is horrible, CX-5 is nothing special and looks a little downmarket. Never felt any Mazda interior stood out or was good aside from the last RX-7, Millenia, and last 929.

Hyundai Accent, Sonic, 300M, don't have "best" interiors at all and are pretty lacking. I read where the new VW bug interior was pretty cost cut so not sure why it is on the list.

Can't agree with you mmarsahll on the Equus, that center shifter area and center dash look extremely cheap and downmarket with a dated design and lots of cheap hard plastic. It is really an eyesore in a nice car. Buttons and ***** look cheap too. The rear of the Equus looks much more upscale and almost like from a more upscale car. Some lower end Hyundai's have nicer dash/shifter areas then the Equus.

"list is horrible"
"list is rubbish"

I could find nothing that describes how the interiors were judged. Was it purely subjective? Is it just "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"?

This list is useless without criteria.

I was interested in the Mazda CX-5 so had a close look at it at the Canadian Autoshow last year. I don't like it. You sit too low so it is like peeking over the top of a bathtub, and the driver's seat could not be adjusted up comfortably -- raising the seat raises the back of the seat cushion, leaving the front uncomfortably low. That centre display looks too much like a cheap after-market unit because it does not seem to fit the flow of the dashboard.
