The 10 Best Car Interiors of 2023 According to WardsAuto
Electric vehicles bring a lot of innovation to the table, not only from a technology standpoint, but also when it comes to interior design. Therefore, it’s no surprise that six of them appear on WardsAuto’s list of the 10 best car interiors of 2023.
Once again, the magazine’s staff based their decisions on several criteria including design aesthetic, comfort, ergonomics, materials, fit-and-finish and the user-friendliness of displays and controls. Not all vehicles were considered, mind you—only brand new or significantly improved models, with no price limit.
