Soft materials are mostly made of polyurethanes. Is a plastic foam process, the material inside the sponge like a lot of air holes, soft material is relatively thick, is conducive to sound insulation. The visual feel is better than that of hard plastic.
Passat hollow is soft plastic, there is no such phenomenon. Neither BMW nor X5. I think the soft plastic material scatters the light better and less reflective. It looks softer
There is only difference in comfort between the two. But the interior of the car's soft plastic parts more, a higher sense of class.When it comes to use, I opened the 08 Odyssey, the console is hard plastic, at noon when the sun light strong console makes the front windshield is reflective, flowers (reflected in the glass on the console), some fuzzy line of sight. Elantra is.
Hard, no soft comfort, especially on the door, hard to let go uncomfortable. The advantage of hard materials is their low cost and easy maintenance. Production process is directly molding into the mold, one-time molding.
