With Generation Z redefining cars as mobile private spaces, expectations have shifted toward personalised, intelligent travel experiences that include camping, resting, gaming, and more. Responding to this trend, Yanfeng introduces the “FLUID SPACE” design concept in its latest show car, XiM25, blending smart interaction with tech-driven aesthetics for a comfortable, immersive journey.

On XiM25, through the Ultra-wide Panoramic 3D Heads-Up Display, Yanfeng creatively integrates ultra-high-definition suspended image technology with the interior optical surface, and the ultra-wide display spanning between the two A-pillars is back-projected to a more comfortable viewing position, further enhancing the immersive visual interaction experience of the virtual and real worlds.

The ClickRim™ steering wheel is a great representative of modular design. This concept with its self-wrapping connectors enables the automatic wrapping of the steering wheel. It features a unique self-aligning housing and electrical connection system, along with pre-installed hands-off detection and heating modules, which significantly reduces the overall complexity. The new autowrap process supports a wide range of wrapping material options, saving around 2/3 of traditional production time per steering wheel and greatly improving the efficiency of steering wheel assembly.

The WAVE air vent mimics natural wind using a unique blade structure and efficient motors. It delivers a soothing airflow and integrates with cockpit lighting for intuitive interaction.
An ultra- wideband digital key enables centimeter-level in-cabin positioning. It allows precise control of doors and personalised services for multiple users and scenarios.

In recent years, people have put forward higher requirements than ever for the comfort experience during the driving process and have high expectations for multiple modes of seat adjustment in multiple scenarios.

SafeUnit™, the packaged seat-safety solutions, fully demonstrates Yanfeng’s unique integration advantages. The solution consists of many innovative components like Pre-Crash Seat Rapid Recovery, Seat Follower, Seat-Integrated Seat Belt, Seat Cushion Airbag, and Headset Airbag. These components are designed to protect occupants in various forward-facing positions, from the standard seated position to a wide-angle reclining position, in the event of a frontal, side-end, small-offset collision, and rollover accident.

A long-sliding headliner display aligns with various curved roofs and offers ultra-wide screens that rotate 58.5°, serving both front and rear passengers.

Thanks to the innovative seat movement mechanism and silent brushless motors, the Adaptive Zero Gravity Seat rotates 90° sideways and slides over long distances. Making it suitable for new usage scenarios in L2-L3 autonomous driving modes.

Partially or fully reclined, paired with an adjusted floating leg rest, passengers can enjoy a home-like experience within the cabin. A suspension layer filled with ultra-soft PES silk between the seat surface and foam provides excellent breathability and wrapping performance. The unique fluffy feeling makes people feel as if they are suspended in the air. When fully extended, the rear seat transforms into an oversized bed nearly 2m long, offering a unique in-car resting experience.

Today’s consumers have unique aesthetic preferences for the exterior and interior design of cars, and they also want the cabin to integrate design aesthetics to present their own tastes and personalities.

XiM25 is decorated with ultra-thin fritillary textured thin light guide film, providing an matchless sense of luxury and refinement. The ultra-thin 5mm light guide film achieves multi-layered high-resolution texture stacking, reducing the thickness by 80% compared to traditional light guide plates – cutting the total volume of the lighting structure assembly by 50%.

The ecoSkin® Lux translucent skin has also been applied to many interior surfaces. The skin is made of recyclable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials, applicable to most visible areas of the interior. It features a realistic texture and customisable multi-colour schemes, providing a sophisticated look. By combining a mini-LED direct display with large-area decorative panels, this translucent surface, and flexible display technology can produce clear display effects and dynamic lighting on complex curves.

Floating ambient lighting uses concealed LED beads and custom software to simulate designer-intended effects, delivering dynamic and even illumination.

The Heytech™ concealable touch panel in the rear seat hides the interface to reduce visual clutter. It integrates curved plastic with touch feedback, enabling seamless styling and functional customisation across the cabin.
