It is important to design and engineer cars with greater emphasis on human sensibilities in order to create an attractive, habitable car interior. In this research, the impressions people receive from a car interior were evaluated using the semantic differential method. The results made clear the evaluation structure of interior habitability and the relationship between subjective impressions and design/aesthetic elements. The knowledge gained through this research provided the foundations for establishing a simulation procedure for evaluating car interior impressions.
