Today's drivers want efficiency and value in their vehicles – but not at the expense of comfort and luxury.
Research from the automotive research firm J.D. Power & Associates has shown that interior comfort ranks above exterior styling among drivers making new-vehicle purchases; it’s second in importance only to mechanical reliability. It’s why Dow Automotive Systems design, engineering and technical experts are dedicated to developing solutions that advance styling and finish; enhance comfort and fit; improve durability, dimensional stability and weatherability; and reduce vehicle weight and cost.
