Volvo is looking to refine passenger experience in luxury cars through its Volvo Lounge Console concept, which was unveiled at the Shanghai International Auto Show. This concept is designed to provide chaffeur-driven folks with extra space and comfort. The concept calls for the front passenger seat to be removed entirely and replaced with a multi-purpose luxury footrest.
Come to think about it, the front passenger seat in chaffeur-driven cars is rarely used as the passenger tends to sit in the back. Therefore it makes good sense to replace the unused front seat with a console that includes storage space, a TV screen and a mirror.
The Chinese luxury auto market is growing at leaps and bounds, and this intelligent solution is sure to appeal to many well-monied Chinese car buyers.
