N2  - This paper describes studies of styling or design specification of passenger car interiors as examples of application of Kansei engineering, especially regarding the speedometer and steering wheel of a passenger car. These units require easy operation or good visibility, but we did not consider these functions here and treated only the styling impression. Subjective evaluations were carried out by semantic differential methods, then analyzed by using multivariate analysis. We gathered the results concerning the relationship between an impression and characteristics of styling to understand the conditions which create a desired impression. Relevance to industryThese studies were carried out to improve the cabins of passenger cars. We can also apply similar methods of styling to other industry products.<p />
