These are 2025's most beautiful car interiors

Isn’t it strange that when choosing a car we take so much time fixating on the way it looks on the outside (and what people will think when they see it) but spend all of our time inside the car, staring at the interior. Forget power outputs, performance stats or how good the suspension is - interior styling is surely the most important feature, right?
With that in mind here’s our carefully curated list of the most stunning car interiors you'll see in 2025. Remember, it’s all about manifesting. Choose your car, imagine driving it, and it WILL be yours. We promise. Sort of.

This unbelievable, unimpeachable statement of British luxury craftsmanship tops the list. Bentley’s Odyssean label is its sustainability sub-brand, and uses tweed and open-pore wood in its veneers. Run your finger lovingly along the surface, and you can feel the Koa grain. The colours in the version we tested were varying hues of cream and beige, casting a softly glowing light across the interior. A sustainable leather called Autumn is used (a good news story for sustainable motoring, because it’s a waste product from the beef industry) in a three-way colour scheme with Bentley’s linen hide and a third hue of the customer’s choice. There are deep lambswool rugs, plus thread colours in the embroidery blending into one another. A quilted diamond design is stitched into the seats, mirrored across the moulded leather in the doors before fading away to a blank surface in a contemporary take on surface patterns.

A very close second in our list is the Spectre electric super coupe from Rolls-Royce which, like Ghost and Phantom, follows the ethereal name plating. In contrast to the serenity of the Bentley Flying Spur, the excellence of Spectre comes from its gregarious, cutting-edge use of colour and light. Joining the starlit ceiling from previous models are starlit doors, with thousands of tiny holes cut by hand and pierced by a minuscule LED from behind, creating any constellation owners specify. The effect at night is beguiling. A sparkling, fairytale ending for each day. The car we drove on the model's launch used a bold palette of ice white, crimson and a green-gold on its leather, but owners can choose from 20 primary colours and 21 secondary hues.

Digital fish tank, with moving fish and swaying seaweed, anyone? The imaginative little Honda E electric car has so much to offer its inhabitants, from the modern take on grey fabric on the seats, to the wood across the dash and – go with us here - the brown seatbelts. The vibe is easy-sustainable, rather than in-your-face virtue signalling. The whole car just makes you smile. You can turn one of the screens into a huge clock, or a blue sunny day, or the aforementioned fish tank, so that the tropical little nippers swim across your car towards the wheel. Or maybe you prefer the lush greenery of a forest? There are tonnes of creative displays on offer. It really reminds us of London’s epic Treehouse Hotel with its cuckoo clocks, birch tree trunks in the bathroom and birds on the wall. Fun, friendly and functional if ... no longer available, Honda having taken its ball home and pulled the E after disappointing sales. You can, of course, still buy a nearly new one right here, though, and as such it earns its place in this esteemed list!

Very few mid-market family cars have a genuine wow factor, but the Peugeot E-3008 does. Inside and out it's truly unique, the antithesis of anything you’ll find in a Volkswagen Group showroom, Lamborghini Urus aside. For that reason it won’t appeal to everybody. But for anyone on board with the weirdness, and who's the right size and shape to get properly comfortable with the little steering wheel (it's not a given), the E-3008 is phenomenal. Especially at night - the lighting is spectacular. And if you want more proof that this is a quite special interior, our particular test car was non-ironically called “boujee” by a group of teenage girls. Skibidi.

There's a reason why you see so many of these things; the Range Rover is the default luxury car. It's not a creative choice, but it's a great one all the same. The leather is softer than a cashmere pillow; the heated, ventilated, massaging, electrically-adjustyable-in-every-which-way seats are designed to feel like armchairs; the dashboard materials are chosen to evoke royalty. The latest version (the Range Rover has been around since 1970) is surprisingly minimal, with most of its functions controlled from its 13-inch central display, which is adjacent to a 14-inch digital instrument panel of exceptional clarity... it's a lovely interior, basically. One of the finest. It was ever thus.

Designing a new Mini interior is one of the toughest jobs in design, surely? A new Mini cockpit has to be totally modern, funky, quirky, colourful, interesting, high quality, ergonomically perfect... but also retro, kind of like all the other Minis before it. Hmmm.

There’s a beautiful zinc-tailored wool blend in charcoal for you to option when designing your electric SUV from this perfect Scandinavian style haven. It feels a little rough to touch but that’s part of the authenticity of the material, which is all the better for it. It comes with a contrasting pale textile on the headrests, which is really smart. Or you can choose a bio-attributed black Nordic synthetic leather and a weird but wonderful birch veneer that wraps around the dash, with a black lattice framework overlaying it. Add in the little Swedish flag tag on the seats and you have a lovely interior theme flowing through this glassy home from home.

Few family SUVs are so unapologetically dark and moody inside, and it just works. It’s like stepping into some Mayfair club, swathed in expensive materials that swallow the light but feel majestic. The seats and doors are covered in the softest black leather that’s tucked and sewn out of sight, and streaks of carbon fibre remind you that there’s a raging V6 engine under the bonnet. The shifter paddles behind the steering wheel to change gear are massive, their brushed aluminium is cold to the touch, providing a shiver of excitement every time you tug them. It’s incredibly sexy stuff from the maestros of sensual driving experiences, the Italians.

A massive and fantastic departure for BMW in interior design. Out goes cold, Teutonic minimalism represented through sharp edges, streaks of metal and hard surfaces. In comes a return to nature, with futuristic twists on tech. One surface of warm, bleached wood is actually a touch-screen backlit to house functions with haptic feedback. There’s a crystal glass rotary dial hovering over the wood, also lit, and the textile voices include pale hues. The side bolsters on the seats are cosseting, and their diamond stitching echoes in the rear seats. It’s sublime.

The image at the top of this article is the EQS's dashboard, dominated by the absolutely spectacular 56-inch "Hyperscreen". It's an interior that effortlessly blends futuristic design with a big swathe of Mercedes' opulent heritage. The augmented reality head-up display is cutting-edge, and the 64-colour lighting will...erm... beguile you. Probs. It'll recognise your face and/or your fingerprint to start the car and recall your driver settings, and its Burmeister stereo is "4D". We're not sure whether four-dimensional sound is scientifically possible - doesn't seem like it would be - but we DO know that it makes everything sound amazing. Especially Kevin Tierney. A phenomenal place to be, front or back.
