[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, directions such as front, back, up, down, left and right are the same as those in the vehicle 1 unless otherwise specified. In the following description, expressions expressing relative or absolute arrangements, such as "parallel," "orthogonal," "center," and "coaxial," do not only strictly express such arrangements, but also express a state in which there is a relative displacement with an angle or distance to an extent that the same function is obtained with a tolerance.

[0020] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the interior of the vehicle compartment S as seen from the rear, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the interior of the vehicle compartment S as seen from the side. 1 and 2 is, for example, a minivan type vehicle. The vehicle 1 includes a vehicle body 2, a front side door 3, a rear side door 4, and a tailgate (not shown).

[0021] The vehicle body 2 defines a vehicle interior S. Specifically, the vehicle interior S is defined by pillars (A-pillar, B-pillar, C-pillar, D-pillar, E-pillar), a floor, a roof, etc. Each pillar is provided in pairs on both sides in the vehicle width direction. The vehicle interior structure according to the present invention is constituted by the portions of the vehicle 1 that are exposed inside the vehicle interior S.

[0022] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the front part of the vehicle 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 3, in the vehicle body 2, a sub-window 20 is provided between the A-pillar and the B-pillar. A front side door opening 21 is formed between the B-pillar and the C-pillar. As shown in Fig. 2, in the vehicle body 2, a rear side door opening 22 is formed between the C-pillar and the D-pillar. As shown in Fig. 1, in the vehicle body 2, a luggage compartment opening 23 is formed between a pair of E-pillars.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 3, the front side door 3 opens and closes the front side door opening 21. The front side doors 3 are provided in a pair on both sides in the vehicle width direction corresponding to the front side door opening 21. The front side door 3 is, for example, a hinge door. The front side door 3 is attached to the vehicle body 2 so as to be rotatable around the front end opening edge of the front side door opening 21 as a fulcrum.

[0024] Fig. 4 is a side view of the front side door 3. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the line VV in Fig. 4. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the front side door 3 includes a door body 31, a lift support portion 32, and a front side window 33. The door body 31 is a door support portion 32, and a lift support portion 32 is a front side window 33. As shown in FIG. The door body 31 constitutes the lower half of the front side door 3. The inner surface (design surface) of the door body 31 includes a door lining 35 and a door pad 36.

[0025] The door lining 35 constitutes the design surface of the upper end of the door main body 31. The door lining 35 is a molded product made of, for example, a resin material. The door lining 35 is formed in an L-shape in a cross-sectional view along the vehicle width direction. Specifically, the door lining 35 includes a door lining upper surface 35a and a door lining side surface 35b.

[0026] The door lining upper surface 35a constitutes an inner portion in the vehicle width direction of the upper end surface of the door main body 31 with respect to the front side window 33. The door lining upper surface 35a extends along a horizontal plane. The door lining side surface 35b extends downward from the inner end of the door lining upper surface 35a in the vehicle width direction. Specifically, the door lining side surface 35b extends downward toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, in the door lining 35, a corner 35c formed by the door lining upper surface 35a and the door lining side surface 35b is formed at an acute angle. The corner 35c extends linearly in the front-rear direction. Note that the door lining 35 is formed in, for example, black in order to clearly define the boundary with the front side window 33.

[0027] A sub-lining 37 is provided in front of the door lining 35. The sub-lining 37 constitutes the lower frame portion of the sub-window 20, and is configured with the same texture (material, color, etc.) as the door lining 35. The upper surface of the sub-lining 37 has the same width as the door lining upper surface 35a, and is disposed flush with the door lining upper surface 35a.

[0028] The door pad 36 is connected to the lower part of the door lining 35 on the inner surface of the front side door 3. The door pad 36 has a different texture from the door lining 35. The texture refers to the material, color, etc. In the door pad 36 of this embodiment, the portion that becomes the design surface is made of a cloth material such as a fabric material or a tricot material, and is formed in a lighter color (for example, gray) than the door lining 35.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 5, the door pad 36 includes a bulge 36a and a recess 36b. The bulging portion 36a has a cross section in the shape of a circular arc that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction. Between the upper end of the bulging portion 36a and the lower end of the door lining side surface 35b, a valley portion 36c is formed that is recessed outward in the vehicle width direction relative to the corner portion 35c. At least the portion of the bulging portion 36a that is located most inward in the vehicle width direction is located more inward in the vehicle width direction than the corner portion 35c.

[0030] The recessed portion 36b is connected downward from the bulging portion 36a. The recessed portion 36b extends while curving outward in the vehicle width direction as it extends downward. The boundary portion between the lower end of the bulging portion 36a and the upper end of the recessed portion 36b forms a ridge portion 36d extending in the front-rear direction.

[0031] 3, the lift support portion 32 protrudes upward from the door body 31. The lift support portion 32, together with the upper end edge of the door body 31, constitutes a window frame that defines the window opening 32a. In other words, the upper end edge of the door body 31 (door lining 35) constitutes the lower frame portion of the window opening 32a.

[0032] The front side window 33 is capable of ascending and descending relative to the door main body 31 while being supported by the door main body 31 and the ascending and descending support portion 32. The front side window 33 opens and closes the window opening 32a.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 2, the rear side door 4 opens and closes a rear side door opening 22. A pair of rear side doors 4 are provided on both sides in the vehicle width direction corresponding to the rear side door opening 22. The rear side door 4 is, for example, a sliding door. The rear side door 4 is attached to the vehicle body 2 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction along both upper and lower opening edges of the rear side door opening 22.

[0034] Similar to the front side door 3 , the rear side door 4 includes a door body 41 , a lift support portion 42 , and a rear side window 43 . The door body 41 constitutes the lower half of the rear side door 4. The door body 41 includes a door lining 45 and a door pad 46. The door lining 45 and the door pad 46 extend in the front-rear direction at the same height as the door lining 35 and the door pad 36 of the front side door 3. The configurations of the door lining 45 and the door pad 46 are similar to those of the front side door 3, so detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0035] The rear side window 43 is supported by the door body 41 and the lift-up support portion 42 and can be raised and lowered relative to the door body 41. The rear side window 43 opens and closes a window opening 42a defined by the door body 41 and the lift-up support portion 42.

[0036] The tailgate opens and closes a luggage compartment opening 23 (see FIG. 1). The tailgate is attached to the vehicle body 2 so as to be rotatable about, for example, a side opening edge or an upper opening edge of the tail opening as a fulcrum.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 1, in the vehicle body 2, a front window 51 is provided between a pair of A-pillars. In the vehicle interior S, below the front window 51, an upper dashboard 52 is provided. The upper dashboard 52 extends rearward from the lower edge of the front window 51. The upper dashboard 52 is a molded product made of, for example, a resin material, and is formed in, for example, black color.

[0038] Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the interior of the vehicle compartment S as seen from the rear. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to line VII-VII in Fig. 6. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the dashboard upper 52 includes a defroster opening 52a, a protruding portion 52b, a valley portion 52c, and a flat portion 52d.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 7, the defroster opening 52a opens upward at the front end of the dashboard upper 52. The protrusion 52b is located behind the defroster opening 52a in the dashboard upper 52. The protrusion 52b protrudes upward from the defroster opening 52a and extends in the vehicle width direction. In a cross-sectional view seen from the vehicle width direction, the protrusion 52b is formed in a triangular shape with one apex facing upward. Of the protrusion 52b, the inclined surface (front inclined surface) located in front of the apex forms a larger angle with the horizontal plane than the inclined surface (rear inclined surface) located behind the apex.

[0040] The valley portion 52c is located rearward of the protrusion portion 52b on the dashboard upper 52. The valley portion 52c is located between the protrusion portion 52b and the flat portion 52d, and is recessed downward relative to the protrusion portion 52b and the flat portion 52d. The valley portion 52c extends in the vehicle width direction following the protrusion portion 52b. The flat portion 52d extends rearward from the rear end edge of the valley portion 52c. The flat portion 52d is disposed along a horizontal plane. The dimension of the flat portion 52d in the front-rear direction is larger than those of the protrusion portion 52b and the valley portion 52c.

[0041] FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the front part of the vehicle compartment S. 8, the upper surface of the flat portion 52d is continuous with the upper surface of the sub-lining 37 on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the flat portion 52d. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the flat portion 52d is disposed flush with the upper surface of the sub-lining 37. The front end edge of the sub-lining 37 coincides with the boundary portion (ridge portion 52g) between the valley portion 52c and the flat portion 52d.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 7, the instrument panel 53 includes an upper instrument panel 53a and a lower instrument panel 53b. The upper instrument panel 53a is continuous with the rear edge of the upper dashboard 52. The upper instrument panel 53a has a different texture from the upper dashboard 52 and the lower instrument panel 53b. In this embodiment, the design surface of the upper instrument panel 53a is made of fabric material or the like, similar to the door pad 36.

[0043] The instrument panel upper 53a has a rear surface 54 that extends downward while being curved convexly toward the rear, and a folded surface 55 that extends forward from the lower edge of the rear surface 54. The rear surface 54 extends in the vehicle width direction at the same height as the door pad 36. In the instrument panel upper 53a, a boundary portion 53f between the rear surface 54 and the folded surface 55 extends in the vehicle width direction.

[0044] The instrument panel lower 53b extends downward from the lower end edge of the instrument panel upper 53a. Specifically, the instrument panel lower 53b extends diagonally rearward and downward from the front end edge of the folded surface 55. The instrument panel lower 53b is formed with a texture different from that of the instrument panel upper 53a. The instrument panel lower 53b is provided with a vent opening 53c (see FIG. 6). The vent opening 53c blows conditioned air supplied from an air conditioner toward the rear inside the vehicle compartment S.

[0045] 1, a plurality of rows of seats 61 to 63 are provided in the front-rear direction inside a vehicle compartment S. The vehicle 1 of this embodiment is a three-row type having a first row seat 61, a second row seat 62, and a third row seat 63.

[0046] The first row seats 61 are configured such that a driver's seat 65 provided on one side in the vehicle width direction and a passenger seat 66 provided on the other side in the vehicle width direction are arranged across an aisle. The second row seats 62 are configured such that a first rear seat 67 provided on one side in the vehicle width direction and a second rear seat 68 provided on the other side in the vehicle width direction are lined up in the vehicle width direction. The driver's seat 65, the passenger seat 66, the first rear seat 67, and the second rear seat 68 are each an independent type in which one passenger can sit in each seat. The third row seat 63 is a so-called bench seat type. A plurality of passengers can be seated in the vehicle width direction in the third row seat 63. Each of the seats 61 to 63 may be an independent type or a bench seat type.

[0047] In the vehicle 1 of this embodiment, a boundary emphasis portion 80 is provided inside the vehicle compartment S. The boundary emphasis portion 80 is intended to allow occupants (particularly occupants other than the driver) to recognize the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S. The boundary emphasis portion 80 includes a side emphasis portion 81, a front emphasis portion 82 (see FIG. 6 ), and a seat emphasis portion 83. 2, the side emphasis portion 81 extends in a strip shape in the front-rear direction on the inner surface of the vehicle interior S. The side emphasis portion 81 includes a sub emphasis portion 90, a front window-side emphasis portion 91, a rear window-side emphasis portion 92, a central emphasis portion 93, and a rear emphasis portion 94.

[0048] The sub-emphasizing portion 90 extends linearly in the front-rear direction along the inner edge of the upper surface of the sub-lining 37 in the vehicle width direction. The front window-side emphasis portion 91 is a strip-shaped portion that extends linearly in the front-rear direction along the upper edge of the door body 31 of the front side door 3. The upper edge of the front window-side emphasis portion 91 is defined by the corner portion 35c, and the lower edge is restricted by the ridge portion 36d. The sub-emphasis portion 90 described above is connected forward to the upper edge of the front window-side emphasis portion 91.

[0049] FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the interior of the vehicle compartment S as viewed forward from the second row seat 62. FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the rear window-edge emphasis portion 92 is a strip-shaped portion that extends linearly in the front-rear direction along the upper edge of the door main body 41 in the rear side door 4. Similar to the front window-edge emphasis portion 91, the rear window-edge emphasis portion 92 has both upper and lower end edges defined by the corner portion 45a of the door lining 45 and the ridge portion 46a of the door pad 46. It extends in the front-rear direction at the same height as the front window-edge emphasis portion 91. In this embodiment, the upper edges and lower edges of the rear window-edge emphasis portion 92 and the front window-edge emphasis portion 91 are disposed at the same height. However, it is sufficient that the rear window-edge emphasis portion 92 and the front window-edge emphasis portion 91 at least partially overlap each other in the vertical direction.

[0050] The central emphasis portion 93 is disposed between the front window-side emphasis portion 91 and the rear window-side emphasis portion 92 in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the central emphasis portion 93 is formed by a C-pillar garnish 101 that covers the C-pillar. The C-pillar garnish 101 extends in the vertical direction and bulges inward in the vehicle width direction relative to the front side door 3 and the rear side door 4. In a plan view, the C-pillar garnish 101 is formed in a C-shape that opens toward the outside in the vehicle width direction, and surrounds the B-pillar from both the front and rear sides and the inside in the vehicle width direction. The C-pillar garnish 101 is formed with a pull-out opening 101a for a seat belt 105. The pull-out opening 101a is formed in a slit shape that extends in the front-rear direction.

[0051] In the C-pillar garnish 101, a portion located below the outlet 101a constitutes a seat belt storage section 101b and a switch storage section 101c. The surface of the seat belt storage section 101b facing the inside in the vehicle width direction is formed as a flat surface extending along the up-down direction. A winding mechanism (not shown) for the seat belt 105 is stored inside the seat belt storage section 101b.

[0052] The switch storage section 101c is connected to the lower side of the seat belt storage section 101b. The switch storage section 101c bulges inward in the vehicle width direction relative to the switch storage section 101c. An opening / closing switch (not shown) for the rear side door 4 is stored inside the switch storage section 101c. The opening / closing switch can be operated via an operation section 106 exposed on the rear surface of the switch storage section 101c.

[0053] The central emphasis portion 93 extends in a band shape in the front-rear direction in a portion of the C-pillar garnish 101 located between the lower end edge of the seat belt storage portion 101b (the upper end edge of the switch storage portion 101c) and the outlet 101a. That is, the central emphasis portion 93 is disposed at the same height as the front window edge emphasis portion 91 and the rear window edge emphasis portion 92. In this embodiment, the outlet 101a is disposed at the same height as the upper end edges of the front window edge emphasis portion 91 and the rear window edge emphasis portion 92. The lower end edge of the seat belt storage portion 101b is disposed at the same height as the lower end edges of the front window edge emphasis portion 91 and the rear window edge emphasis portion 92. It is sufficient that the central emphasis portion 93 overlaps at least a portion of the rear window edge emphasis portion 92 and the front window edge emphasis portion 91 in the up-down direction.

[0054] 2, the rear emphasis portion 94 is located rearward of the rear window edge emphasis portion 92 and extends in a strip shape in the front-rear direction.

[0055] The rear pad 111 is formed with the same texture as the door pad 46, and extends in a band shape in the front-rear direction below the rear garnish 110. Specifically, the lower end edge of the rear pad 111 coincides with the lower end edge (ridge portion 46a) of the door pad 46. Therefore, the rear emphasis portion 94 extends in the front-rear direction at the same height as the rear window edge emphasis portion 92.

[0056] A rear garnish 110 is provided above the rear pad 111. The rear garnish 110 is formed of a material (for example, a molded product of a resin material or the like) having a different texture from that of the rear pad 111. The rear garnish 110 covers the portion extending from the D-pillar to the E-pillar from the inside in the vehicle width direction. The lower edge of the rear garnish 110 is located at the same height as the lower edge of the door lining 45, and extends linearly in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the lower edge of the rear garnish 110 indicates the boundary with the upper edge of the rear emphasis portion 94 (the upper edge of the rear pad 111).

[0057] As shown in FIG. 1, a recess 110a is formed in the rear end of the rear garnish 110 at a portion located forward of the E-pillar. The recess 110a is recessed outward in the vehicle width direction and is open toward the front. An outlet 110b for a seat belt 112 for the third row seat 63 is opened on the inner surface of the recess 110a. The rear edge of the recess 110a is located rearward of the rearmost end of the third row seat 63. In the illustrated example, the rear edge of the recess 110a coincides with the rear edge of the rear pad 111.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 6, the front emphasis portion 82 extends in the vehicle width direction between a ridge portion 52g (a boundary portion between a valley portion 52c and a flat portion 52d) of the dashboard upper 52 and a boundary portion 53f of the instrument panel upper 53a. That is, the ridge portion 52g defines the upper end edge of the front emphasis portion 82. The boundary portion 53f defines the lower end edge of the front emphasis portion 82. As shown in FIG. 7, the front emphasis portion 82 is located at the same height as the side emphasis portion 81, and is connected to the front end portion of the side emphasis portion 81 at both ends in the vehicle width direction. Specifically, the front end edge (ridge portion 52g) of the front emphasis portion 82 is located at the same position in the front-rear direction as the front end edge of the side emphasis portion 81 (sub emphasis portion 90) on both sides in the vehicle width direction, and is connected to the vehicle width direction. As a result, the front emphasis portion 82 and the side emphasis portion 81 surround the interior of the vehicle compartment S from the front and sides, and indicate the boundary portions with the lower edges of the windows 33, 43, and 51. This gives the occupant the feeling that they are sitting in a bucket.

[0059] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the seat highlighting portion 83 includes a first row highlighting portion 120 provided on the first row seat 61 and a second row highlighting portion 121 provided on the second row seat 62. 9, the first row emphasis portion 120 is formed by a seat pocket 120b provided on the rear surface of the seat back 120a. The seat pocket 120b extends over the entire seat back 120a in the vehicle width direction at the same height as the side emphasis portion 81. Therefore, the upper edge of the seat back 120a defines the upper edge of the first row emphasis portion 120, and the lower edge of the seat back 120a defines the lower edge of the first row emphasis portion 120.

[0060] The seat pocket 120b is formed with the same texture as the seat back 120a, and is attached to the seat back 120a by sewing, etc. Articles are put in and taken out of the seat pocket 120b through an article entrance that opens upward.

[0061] A seatback table 120d is provided in a portion of the seatback 120a that is located below the seat pocket 120b. The seatback table 120d is formed in a plate shape that extends over the entire seatback 120a along the vehicle width direction. The seatback table 120d is configured to be foldable by rotating from the upper end portion as a starting point. The seatback table 120d is formed with a texture different from that of the seat pocket 120b (for example, a molded product made of a resin material or the like). Therefore, the seatback table 120d indicates the boundary with the lower end edge of the first row emphasis portion 120.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 1, the second row accentuating portion 121 includes a seat back accentuating portion 131 and a head rest accentuating portion 132. As shown in FIG. The seat back accentuating portion 131 provides a clear forward visibility for the occupant in the third row seat 63. The seat back accentuating portion 131 includes an outer skin 133a and a rise portion 133b.

[0063] The outer skin 133a covers a seat cushion (not shown) and the like at the upper part of the seat back 135. The outer skin 133a extends over the entire seat back 120a in the vehicle width direction at the same height as the lateral emphasis portion 81. The outer skin 133a is made of a fabric material or the like, similar to the door pad 46 and the like. The riser portion 133b is formed in a plate shape extending across the entire seat back 120a in the vehicle width direction below the outer skin 133a. The riser portion 133b is formed with a texture different from that of the outer skin 133a (for example, a molded product made of a resin material or the like). Therefore, the riser portion 133b indicates the boundary with the lower edge of the second row emphasis portion 121.

[0064] The headrest emphasis portion 132 is formed by the headrest 140 of the second row seat 62. Specifically, the headrest 140 of the second row seat 62 has a smaller vertical dimension than the headrest 141 of the first row seat 61. The headrest 140 of the second row seat 62 has an upper end surface extending along a horizontal plane. When an occupant in the third row seat 63 looks forward, the second row emphasis portion 121 indicates a boundary with the forward field of view at the upper end surface of the headrest 140.

[0065] In this manner, in this embodiment, in the lateral emphasis portion 81 provided in a band shape along the fore-and-aft direction on the inner surface of the vehicle compartment S, the upper edges of the window edge emphasis portions 91, 92 indicating the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S are formed by the door lining upper surface 35a and the door lining side surface 35b which forms an acute angle 35c between the door lining upper surface 35a. This configuration allows the occupants to clearly recognize the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S. In particular, it is possible for the corners 35c to cast shadows on the inside surfaces (door pads 36, 46, etc.) of the vehicle compartment S due to sunlight or the like entering the vehicle compartment S through the side windows 33, 43. This allows the occupants to more clearly recognize the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S, stabilizing their sense of balance and reducing motion sickness. Furthermore, unlike conventional configurations in which the occupant's vision is guided by the operation of an actuator, this configuration can reduce motion sickness regardless of the occupant's physique, the number of passengers, etc.

[0066] In this embodiment, the door lining upper surface 35a is arranged along a horizontal plane. According to this configuration, the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S can be more clearly recognized, and motion sickness can be further alleviated.

[0067] In this embodiment, a door pad 36 is provided below the corner portion 35c, and bulges inward in the vehicle width direction from the corner portion 35c. According to this configuration, the door pads 36, 46 are easily illuminated by sunlight, etc. Therefore, the shadow formed by the corner portion 35c can be more prominent, and the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S can be more clearly recognized.

[0068] In this embodiment, a switch storage section 101c is provided below the central emphasis section 93, bulging inward in the vehicle width direction more than the central emphasis section 93 and indicating the boundary with the lower edge of the central emphasis section 93. An opening / closing switch for opening and closing the rear side door 4 is stored inside the switch storage section 101c, and an operating section 106 for operating the opening / closing switch is exposed on the surface of the switch storage section 101c. According to this configuration, the switch storage portion 101c bulges inward in the vehicle width direction relative to the central emphasis portion 93, which makes it easier for the occupants to recognize the central emphasis portion 93. Moreover, since the opening / closing switch can be stored inside the switch storage portion 101c, the layout flexibility can be improved.

[0069] In this embodiment, the rear end edge of the rear emphasis portion 94 extends to the rear end edge of the recessed portion 110a. According to this configuration, the side emphasis portion 81 can be extended to the rear of the third row seat 63. Therefore, it becomes easier for the occupants of the third row seat 63 to recognize the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S.

[0070] In this embodiment, the forward emphasis portion 82 provided at the front end of the vehicle compartment S is located rearward of the defroster opening 52a which opens on the upper surface of the dashboard upper 52, and is configured to have a stepped portion (the portion extending from the protrusion portion 52b to the flat portion 52d) above the defroster opening 52a. This configuration allows the occupants to clearly recognize the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S. In particular, by providing a step portion behind the defroster opening 52a, the defroster opening 52a is difficult to see when viewed from the rear. This improves the design as seen by the occupants in the vehicle compartment S.

[0071] In this embodiment, the stepped portion comprises a protrusion portion (front base portion) 52b, a flat portion 52d located rearward of the protrusion portion 52b, and a valley portion 52c located between the protrusion portion 52b and the flat portion 52d, and the boundary portion (ridge portion 52g) between the valley portion 52c and the flat portion 52d forms the upper edge of the front emphasis portion 82. According to this configuration, a shadow can be formed by the protrusions 52b on the upper surface of the dashboard upper 52 (a portion located between the valleys 52c and the ridges 52g) due to sunlight or the like entering the vehicle compartment S through the front window 51. This allows the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S to be more clearly recognized. In particular, by forming the valley portion 52c between the protrusion portion 52b and the flat portion 52d, the boundary portion (ridge portion 52g) between the valley portion 52c and the flat portion 52d allows the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S to be more clearly recognized. Furthermore, by forming the valleys 52c, it becomes easier to ensure the height of the protrusions 52b, and the defroster opening 52a becomes more difficult to see.

[0072] In this embodiment, the instrument panel upper 53a is configured to include a boundary portion 53f that is located rearward of the vent opening 53c and that constitutes the lower edge of the front emphasis portion 82. This configuration allows occupants to easily recognize the lower edge of the forward emphasis portion 82. Moreover, a shadow can be formed by the boundary portion 53f on the instrument panel lower 53b due to sunlight entering the vehicle compartment S through the windshield 51. This allows the boundary between the inside and outside of the vehicle compartment S to be more clearly recognized, reducing motion sickness.

[0073] In this embodiment, the front end of the side emphasis portion 81 is connected to the front emphasis portion 82 . This configuration makes it possible to give the passenger the feeling that he or she is inside a bucket, thereby stabilizing the passenger's sense of balance and reducing motion sickness.

[0074] In this embodiment, the seats 61, 62 are provided on their rear surfaces with accentuated portions 120, 121 that extend in a strip shape along the vehicle width direction. This configuration allows the occupant to clearly recognize the boundary between the front field of view and the surroundings, thereby stabilizing the occupant's sense of balance and reducing motion sickness.

[0075] [Other variations] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Addition, omission, substitution, and other modifications of the configuration are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above description, but is limited only by the scope of the attached claims. For example, in the above embodiment, the boundary emphasis portion 80 includes the side emphasis portion 81, the front emphasis portion 82, and the seat emphasis portion 83. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. It is sufficient for the vehicle interior structure according to the present invention to include at least the window edge emphasis portions 91, 92. In the above embodiment, the vehicle interior structure according to the present invention is applied to a minivan-type vehicle. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration and can be applied to various vehicles. In the above-described embodiment, the highlighting portion is formed in a strip shape, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The highlighting portion may extend in a line. For example, the window edge highlighting portion 91, 92 may include only the corner portion 35c, 45a. Moreover, the highlighted portion may be colored differently from the other portions.

[0076] In addition, within the scope of the invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
