At Kartal Auto, we specialize in enhancing and restoring the interiors of the world’s most luxurious vehicles, and the Aston Martin DBX is one of the finest examples of automotive excellence. Recently, we had the privilege of working on the interior design of this stunning SUV. During the project, we identified several key issues that needed attention to ensure that the DBX’s cabin met its full potential in terms of luxury, comfort, and performance. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the issues we found and the bespoke solutions we implemented to elevate the interior of this remarkable vehicle.
Issues found
1. Outdated Dashboard and Center Console Layout
Issue: The dashboard and center console layout, while elegant, lacked modern design touches and had an ergonomic flow that could be improved to enhance driver interaction with the vehicle’s controls.
Solution:
- We reimagined the dashboard by incorporating sleek, minimalist lines and integrating advanced materials like brushed aluminum and carbon fiber, elevating the vehicle’s modern aesthetic.
- Reconfigured the center console layout for a more user-friendly design, ensuring that key controls were easily accessible without compromising the clean, sophisticated look of the interior.
- Added custom touch-sensitive panels for a more intuitive interaction with the vehicle’s tech systems, such as media, climate control, and driving modes.
2. Underutilized Cabin Storage
Issue: The DBX’s cabin offered limited storage options, especially in the rear area. This made it challenging for the owner to store personal belongings without compromising the elegant look of the interior.
Solution:
- We introduced a series of bespoke storage solutions that blend seamlessly into the vehicle’s design, offering both practical and stylish options for organizing belongings.
- Designed custom hidden compartments in the armrests, door panels, and beneath the center console to maximize storage without disrupting the vehicle’s luxurious aesthetic.
- Added a high-quality, retractable rear seat storage unit that could be easily accessed while maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance.
3. Faded and Worn Leather Upholstery
Issue: The leather upholstery, while luxurious, had started to show signs of fading and wear in high-touch areas such as the seats, armrests, and door panels.
Solution:
- We restored the leather upholstery by reconditioning the surfaces, repairing any cracks, and applying a specialized dye to match the vehicle’s original color perfectly.
- We treated the leather with a protective coating to prevent future fading, ensuring it retains its luxurious appearance and feel for years to come.
4. Outdated Climate Control System Design
Issue: The design and interface of the climate control system were functional but felt somewhat outdated and lacked a modern, integrated feel with the rest of the cabin’s high-tech features.
Solution:
- We upgraded the climate control system to feature digital, touchscreen interfaces that are seamlessly integrated into the center console, providing a sleek, futuristic look.
- Enhanced the system’s functionality with user-friendly touch-sensitive controls and custom air vents that contribute to both aesthetics and efficiency in regulating cabin temperature.
- Added ambient lighting around the system to create a more sophisticated and visually appealing experience, especially at night.
5. Inefficient Lighting and Ambiance
Issue: The interior lighting was insufficient and did not highlight the luxurious design of the cabin, especially in areas like the footwells, door handles, and around key features.
Solution:
- We installed a state-of-the-art ambient lighting system that offers customizable light intensity and colors, allowing the owner to tailor the cabin’s atmosphere to their preferences.
- The new system includes strategically placed LEDs in the footwells, doors, and ceiling, creating a soothing, elegant glow that highlights the DBX’s craftsmanship.
- Added subtle light accents to the dashboard and center console to create a cohesive and inviting ambiance that complements the high-end materials used throughout the vehicle.
