The interior of the Toyota FT-4X/TJ Cruiser is apparently color coded. The interior is predominantly either orange or blue.

Orange is for open bins that you can place items in loosely and are strictly open

whereas

Blue is for closed storage, secure storage where your belongings won't be sliding and falling about.

Along with that are areas with power outlets, water bottles, flashlights, cold and hot storage along with wet/dry bins, so not to worry, it isn't all about the color code.

But I definitely have found that bit of information interesting. The big question is if they'll keep it like that on the production with contrasting colors or even different shades of color to signify.

Do you think it's a good idea or it should all just be one color and left simple?

Definitely, and I doubt that we'll be seeing North Face material wrapped seats and what not, it's just not cost effective at all. So we can expect something much more mainstream like you posted there.

I mean.. it's pretty simple and it's essentially just like any other vehicle. You can clearly see where open storage is and if there's a door or some sort of "cover", it's a sealed storage lol. It's like looking at a door panel compartment and comparing it with a glove box. Definitely don't need it to be color coded to know the difference. For the concept though, it does serve a good way to highlight the different areas get peoples attention though.

That is very true. Simple things like power windows and power door locks being standard, if you compare it to before, is a big thing.

But, it's what the industry standard is now and obviously expectations are going to continue to rise and people will always want more. It's just how things work.

A lot of people have been doing retrofits even in older cars to integrate and use tablets and iPads as infotainment systems so I wouldn't doubt seeing someone attempt it on this as well. It's definitely a lot easier than it was a few years ago as companies have started making harnesses and what not, but don't get me wrong, still a difficult task in general to fab it all up properly to make it look clean.

You could either end up with something like this which doesn't look too bad (first photo) or you could end up with something like this that is just silky smooth (second photo)
