In parallel to Auto Shanghai, DVN visited the Yanfeng R&D center in Shanghai, where this China-based tier-1 supplier was showcasing their new XiM25 interior concept.
Yanfeng has introduced a new design theme, ‘Fluid Space’ to cater to the needs and wants of Generation Z, creating a futuristic mobile space, for in-car activities such as camping, napping, watching movies, and gaming.
The XiM25 smart cabin demonstrator features innovative technologies including:
- Wide Panoramic 3D HUD
Creatively combining ultra-clear floating image tech with interior optical surfaces, the ultra-wide display spanning the two A-pillars is back-projected onto a more comfortable viewing position, optimizing the immersive visual interaction experience of the virtual and real worlds.
- Ultralow-Latency E-Mirror
The hardware’s tightly-coupled system architecture achieves ultralow end-to-end latency, while the image enhancement algorithm ensures clear visibility in challenging conditions such as darkness, strong light, or rain and snow.
- Slim Natural Wind Electric Air Vent
Yanfeng’s exclusive ‘Wave’ air vent simulates natural wind, with its special blade structure and inexpensive motors.
- ClickRim Modular Steering Wheel
This modular steering wheel features a unique automatic wrapping concept, combining hands-off detection and heating function. The new steering wheel process supports a wide range of wrapping material options while improving the efficiency of product assembly.
- EcoSkin Lux Translucent Interior Surface
It uses recyclable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials, applicable to most visible areas of the interior. It features a realistic texture and customizable multi-color schemes, providing a sophisticated look. By combining a mini-LED direct display with large-area decorative panels, this translucent surface and flexible display technology can produce clear display effects and dynamic lighting on complex curves.
- SafeUnit Seat-Integrated Safety Tech
Current restraint systems are designed for upright seating positions, which are not effective when occupants are not upright. Yanfeng has introduced seat-integrated safety solutions to protect occupants in various forward-facing positions during accidents. These solutions include innovative components like the pre-crash system, seat-integrated seat belt, seat cushion airbag, and headset airbag — all designed to protect occupants in various forward-facing positions, from the standard seated position to a wide-angle reclining position, in the event of a frontal, side-end, small-offset collision, and rollover accident.
- Side-Rotating Adaptive Zero-Gravity Seat
Thanks to the innovative seat movement mechanism and silent brushless motors, the seat rotates 90°sideways and slides over long distances. Additionally, the seat can adapt to the occupant’s posture for optimal comfort, with a new bump-massage feature providing a more relaxing experience.
- Fully Reclining Innovative Rear Seat
Whether partially or fully reclined, paired with an adjusted floating leg rest, passengers can enjoy a home-like experience within the cabin. When fully extended, the rear seat transforms into an oversized bed nearly 2 meters long, offering an unprecedented in-car resting experience.
