Like its curvy exterior, the interior of the Egeus was styled and furnished to reflect luxury in a harmonious way. Four individual bucket seats with three-point belts replace conventional seating, trimmed with blue-tinted weaved leather, each accented with orange and red depicting a pixilated setting sun. Uniquely, each of the seats swivels outwards, lowering by up to 70 mm to provide easier entry and exit. The rear bucket seats are
positioned higher than the front providing a better view out. In creating the 'underwater world' theme, Renault's interior designers used navy leather to trim the 'manta ray' dashboard and centre console, furthered only by the aquatic ambience created by the roof-long blue-tinted panoramic roof.
In back, the Egeus features a two-piece clamshell tailgate; the glass upper portion swings up, allowing items to be dropped in, while the bottom half features a motorized sliding tray to help heavy objects to be lifted into the trunk with ease.
The driver-vehicle relation in the Egeus is brought one step closer through a series of new intuitive features promoting ease of use. All major controls
were designed with ergonomics in mind; the rotary selector mounted between the front seats works like a thumb wheel for the on-board navigation system, while rotary knobs and switches are also used for changing gears, and other devices. Highlights of the information system include a cockpit monocle which activates in "off road" mode, showing the vehicle's inclination, warning the driver if the car is in danger of overturning. The GPS-linked speedometer is also a first, using the navigation system to display a 'recommended' vehicle speed. Should the driver exceed this speed, the LED lights will illuminate in red.
A nice added touch is the bubble-top compass located on the dashboard's top, showing the vehicle's heading.
