Just as tyres are the only point of contact between car and road, CMF defines the connection between car and driver.
Everything passengers can see and touch has been carefully considered by designers who must blend innovation and tradition, finding new alternatives to tried-and-trusted solutions, or championing natural materials that have been ethically sourced.
The Car Design News team is joined by a panel of experts to discuss all this, as well as forecasting key trends and expectations for 2026 and beyond.
