- Interior Specifications: The tech-savvy cabin will boast a 3-spoke steering wheel that sports the ‘Vision.T’ logo. A tall vertical infotainment touchscreen with climate, a set of physical toggle switches that operate major functions. The starter button is in a particular position on the steering wheel. The car is showcased in a 5-seater setup with a dark cabin color scheme.
Vision T: Powertrain & Engineering
