Hi,

Here's some details from the Aptera web page:

Quote:
The second insight we received from our clinical research last year was that while our interior roominess was… well “roomy”, it could be better (as seen in Chart A above). So we went back to the drawing board to figure out how to squeeze more room out, while not compromising the overall vehicle design.

Here are some of the benefits of the result:

1. Improved occupant headroom

2. Improved hip room

3. Reduced drag 9%

4. Addition of drop glass

5. Improved armrest position.
