In an interview filmed with the XiM25 concept car, Yanfeng CTO Patrick Nebout outlines how vehicle interiors are being rethought through faster development cycles and deeper system integration.
He explains how the traditional timeline from concept to production has evolved, with a growing emphasis on earlier collaboration across interior domains, and explains that cross-domain integration is becoming a structural advantage, with lighting, seating, safety systems and electronics increasingly developed as a single connected system rather than isolated components. This approach, he says, enables more cohesive interior architectures and reduces fragmentation between functions that were previously engineered separately.
According to Nebout, more than 80% of features shown in the concept are already available for customer integration today.
