The Vauxhall Experimental offers a glimpse into the future of Vauxhall, with its distinctive design and innovative features. Inside the vehicle, there is a noticeable departure from the current Vauxhall models. The cabin design is bold and exaggerated, giving us a clear idea of what Vauxhall’s future priorities will be. One striking feature is the replacement of all screens with holographic interfaces. Additionally, the head-up display projections stretch across the entire width of the windscreen, creating an immersive experience and transforming the interior.

The control of critical functions is done through a panel of buttons on the centre console, while infotainment can be operated through gestures and voice commands.

Interestingly, the sat-nav system does not display arrows on the head-up display. Instead, it enters a mixed-reality mode where the driver is virtually guided by the Opel Manta GSe Elektromod, a reference to Vauxhall’s plan to revive the Manta name for a coupe-SUV in 2025.

The interior is adorned with white electrochromic fabric, which is a combination of textile fibers and thin LED strands. Any surface that uses this material, including the dashboard, seats, and door cards, can be illuminated in various colors, allowing for greater personalization. Vauxhall could potentially manufacture cars with a single interior color at the factory, leaving the choice of color up to the driver.

The Experimental concept also hints at Vauxhall’s future goal of offering self-driving capabilities. When the computer takes control, the steering wheel folds into the dashboard. The concept’s smart-glass windows could also become opaque during self-driving mode, creating a more relaxed and lounge-like environment. However, the technology required for such features is still years away.
