Yanfeng, a global automotive technology supplier, has been honored with the prestigious Red Dot: Design Concept Award 2026 for its XiM27 smart cabin concept. This marks the fourth Red Dot Award in the company's portfolio and the second consecutive win, following previous recognition for the XiM25, XiM21s, and XiM20 concepts.

XiM27: A Technology Platform for Future Mobility

The XiM27 concept represents a comprehensive technology platform that transforms the vehicle interior into a functional living space - a "mobile home" designed for higher-level autonomous mobility (AD Level 3 and above). The six-seat MPV concept integrates advanced systems for passenger comfort, adaptability, and well-being, with the goal of optimizing time utilization during travel.

Key technological and design innovations include:

  • Intelligent seat configuration system enables dynamic interior adaptation to various operational scenarios, creating a multifunctional "third space" for relaxation, rest, and social interaction.
  • Multifunctional mobile floor console that integrates storage, charging, and control elements with a focus on ergonomics and accessibility.
  • Advanced cockpit featuring a 35.4-inch large screen and a fold-away steering wheel for autonomous driving mode.
  • Personalized sensory environment with adaptive lighting, spatial audio system, and individually adjustable climate control, creating an immersive experience tailored to each passenger's preferences.
  • AI-based emotion recognition system that analyzes passenger behavior and automatically adjusts interior parameters (lighting, temperature, music) to optimize comfort and well-being.

The use of sustainable and recyclable materials integrates the ecological principle throughout the entire product life cycle, making the XiM27 concept fully aligned with Yanfeng's strategy in environmental responsibility and the circular economy.
