Nissan will gradually reduce piano black trim and chrome elements, turning to low-key luxury design

In the past, in order to highlight the luxurious atmosphere of the cabin, vehicles would not only use a large amount of leather for decoration, but also use piano black decorative panels for embellishment. High-gloss mirror-like decorative panels add texture. However, Nissan pointed out that in the future, piano black decorative panels will be gradually reduced, and the appearance will also reduce the use of chrome elements.

Through the new generation Nissan X-Trail, you can find that there are almost no piano black trim panels in the car. This material used to make the car cabin more refined in the past. Many car owners have reported that after a period of time, fingerprints, dust and small scratches will remain on the surface, and it must be cleaned regularly. If not specially cleaned, the trim panels will become dirty and scratchy.

Nissan has begun to abandon the use of piano black trim.

In the past, piano-painted black trim panels were an important accessory to add a sense of luxury to the car interior.

In addition, the common chrome trim strips on vehicles are gradually being abandoned by Nissan. In the past, large-area chrome-plated parts were often seen on the front of the car, and the plastic parts were covered with a layer of metal to add a luxurious temperament. However, Nissan pointed out that after careful consideration, too much chrome-plated elements would make the design too eye-catching and lose the original sense of refinement.

Nissan's exterior will also ditch the extensive chrome trim.

Ponz Pandikuthira, senior vice president of Nissan North America, pointed out that Nissan's future design direction will pay more attention to "Subtlety over in-your-face". He believes that instead of making the design too eye-catching, it is better to create a sense of high-end through details and layering. It may not be stunning at first sight, but it will show more value after entering the life of car owners.
