These are all concept cars. In other words often just fantasy. Even if they do make a prototype it’s in no way guaranteed that it will see production.
Anyone remember the Citroen or Renault where the seat was part of the door. Even featured as a prototype on Top Gear.
That interior is fantasy land. The final version will have airbags, seatbelts, air ventilation etc. I doubt it will have an egg holder. It will have lots of scratchy plastic and probably fabric or foam selectively glued in place to distract from the overall cheap feel. If they keep the bench seats they’ll probably still have to put a split so the driver / passenger are independently adjustable.
“Scratchy plastic” … why does everything have to be luxury or else it is trash? When did this trend start? Affordable cars need to be robust, practicable, efficient and well … affordable. They don’t need luxury materials. Hard plastic with selective fabric and foam where it matters is perfectly fine and serviceable. You don’t sit on your door side surface and you don’t hug your dashboard or interior car floor, do you?
That 2CV concept was all over the place but I think it will get manufactured. The production version will need to change a lot of things (the concept is ridiculous in some obvious ways) but it will appear in a year or two with a crappy range, a bench seat, plastic everywhere and a roll up roof of some kind. The original 2CV was a terrible car too that sold itself on its cheap & cheerful mantra so I suppose if they capture that it will sell pretty well.
Yes, but their point is that concept cars are just that, concepts, they’re not designed for production or regs so the version we get is usually way more bland than the concept. There are a few exceptions where the vision of the concept car makes it into production, but 95% of the time the real thing is bland af.
This does not apply to limited production cars that don’t get redesigned to come off an assembly line making 5 other models, such as very expensive cars, loss-making models produced for homogulation, fleet regulations, or flexing purposes
the new CV2 looks like it could make it to production (with a ‘normal’ interior, of course). I keep seeing more and more Renaults 5 in the street. Im sure they want a piece of that.

Just fantasy
Well, I do remember the Renault R5 e-tech concept car: https://images.carexpert.com.au/resize/1920/-/cms/v1/media/2021-09-renault-5-3.jpg
and here is the R5 production vehicle: https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/BXN7nm/s1/renault-5-e-tech-electric.jpg
Concept cars can be outlandish, or they can be damn close to what is being delivered in the end.
I saw many people saying they wanted that new CV2, but looking at the interior it doesnt even seem to have space for airbags

Plenty of interesting cars in the world and all the new ones are EVs which are unlikely to get to the US.
