Toyota ist (Scion) 2007 Unveiled - Interior : DigInfo News

Description

DigInfo : movie.diginfo.tv The second generation Toyota ist, unveiled in Tokyo on the 30th of July and to be re-badged and released in the US in August under the Scion name, features elements designed to appeal to Generation Y buyers in their 20's. Along with a complete exterior makeover for a stronger and more dynamic image, the interior has undergone a dramatic shift from the elegant black of the previous model to a more sporty combination of silver and black to appear to a younger market. In line with their "New Style, New Position" theme, even the key has undergone a complete redesign. The Optitron meters, originally designed for the Lexus range, provide greater visibility for drivers, with the speedometer and tachometer centered on concentric circles. The floating center console consists of a navigation system and a multi-information display. The navigation system is voice activated, with the premium model employing a dual view screen, so the passenger can watch tv while the driver is using the navigation system. The interior light uses an LED with two colours, blue and white with variable brightness. Toyota completed a detailed review of the materials, processing methods and adhesives used for interior parts which resulted in a reduction in the amount of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) used, thereby also reducing the unpleasant odors emitted from such compounds and achieving the Japanese automobile industry's voluntary goals.
