Similarly, the interior incorporates vernacular elementswith a modernistic touch, like Korean oak being used for door panels and the floor, and Korean paper being used for the head lining. Astutelycountering them will be the advanced TOLED (transparent organic lightemitting diode) display instrument panel and full device connectivity.
