This study applied Kansei engineering to explore how car interior design affects drivers’ image perception. Two experiments were conducted to individually evaluate Kansei and perceived values. In Kansei evaluation, we recruited 30 participants to assess eight Kansei words and employed Quantification Theory Type I to obtain the weight of each design element. According to the results, the perceptions of “luxurious,” “interesting,” “lively,” “dynamic,” “precise,” and “technological” exhibited the highest partial correlation coefficients for “center console design,” with the category of “touchscreen” receiving the highest score; “stylish” had the highest partial correlation coefficient for “color of the air vent,” and the category of “silver frame + silver blades” obtained the highest score; and “leisure” demonstrated the highest partial correlation coefficient for “material of the center console and panel,” with the category of “plastic + imitation wood—teak” receiving the highest score. In the evaluation of perceived value, 60 participants were recruited and interviewed to measure the effects of design elements on the four dimensions of perceived value. Factor analysis was performed to extract nine factors. The outcomes show that the combination of “technological” and “luxurious” and that of “lively” and “leisure” both contained four factors, indicating commonalities in how the participants perceived interior design. Overall, the results of this study identified the car interior design elements that affect the image perception of drivers, providing a reference for designers in related fields to design car interiors that fulfil user expectations. |
