FORVIA supplies the instrument panel and center console for the all-new Renault Clio 6, unveiled at IAA MOBILITY 2025 in Munich (9-14 September). These components showcase the company’s core expertise in injection moulding and surface finishing. For this model, FORVIA blends technical know-how, recycled materials, and refined design elements to deliver high-quality, visually appealing interior solutions.
Showcasing expertise in injection and surface finishing
More than just parts, the instrument panel and center console of the Clio 6 highlight FORVIA’s capabilities in plastic injection and all kinds of material processing.
These components incorporate 40% recycled plastics, offering a durable and eco-friendly solution that supports Renault’s sustainability goals while meeting demanding quality and safety standards.
FORVIA’s surface finishing know-how brings further value to the Clio 6 interior through a range of advanced finishes and features:
- A key element is the textile-covered trim of the instrument panel, available in both Alcantara and fabric depending on the vehicle version. This is achieved through an automated covering process enabled by advanced 3D modeling and robotics technologies, ensuring consistent quality, enhanced durability, and a refined tactile finish.
- Additional decorative effects include a laser-grained texture molded into the surface to enhance tactile and visual perception, and a chrome-effect insert that adds a contrasting touch, bringing more appeal and emotion.
- The integration of the new magnetic foldable cover in the center console allows for closing the cup holder area, enhancing perceived quality while offering a smart, modular, affordable, and enclosed storage solution.
Contributing to a cohesive and integrated interior
FORVIA’s ability to combine materials, textures, and functional elements within one vehicle contributes to a cohesive and elevated user experience.
In addition, FORVIA is responsible for producing and integrating the light guides within the instrument panel, ensuring uniform ambient lighting and supporting both aesthetic appeal and user comfort. This is part of FORVIA Interiors’ broader capability to provide fully integrated interior modules, supporting customers with a comprehensive end-to-end solution.
The instrument panels and center consoles of Clio 6 are produced at FORVIA’s Orhangazi plant in Turkey, strategically located close to Renault’s factory to enable seamless coordination, optimize logistics, and reduce CO2 emissions.
This project reflects FORVIA’s long-term commitment to sustainability, industrial excellence, and enhanced user experience. By combining recycled plastics, advanced surface finishes and integrated lighting, FORVIA continues to support the development of smarter and more sustainable mobility.
