What is the part between the driver and passenger seats called?

The area between the driver's and passenger seats is called the center console, which belongs to the vehicle's interior system. Here are some related details: Driver's side: The foremost part of the driver's seat is the steering wheel, behind which is the instrument panel. Next to the instrument panel is the dashboard, which includes various gauges, air conditioning controls, CD or DVD players, car navigation and entertainment systems, etc. The glass above the dashboard is the windshield. Cabin: An important part of the vehicle body, it is where the driver operates the car. Its structure directly affects the driver's safety, work efficiency, and health. The cabin typically features a thin-shell metal structure and is flexibly connected to the frame, not bearing loads, which classifies it as a non-load-bearing body.

That position is called the center console. As an experienced driver, I find its design particularly reasonable. Nowadays, new cars come equipped with wireless charging pads, allowing your phone to charge instantly without the danger of holding it. The cup holders are also quite deep, keeping coffee stable during long drives without getting too hot. The center console can even adjust the seat angle, making it comfortable to rest your arms on. The storage compartment is as spacious as a small drawer, perfect for tossing in keys or coins. However, I must remind everyone not to pile too many heavy items inside, as they can fly around during braking, which is unsafe. Also, regular cleaning is essential to prevent dust buildup that can jam the buttons. Overall, it's a practical little helper that makes driving life much easier.

This is the center armrest box, which I frequently use when driving an SUV. When taking the kids out, it's packed with snacks and toys. The space is spacious enough to securely hold a large water bottle, and the USB port charges the tablet so the kids can watch movies without disturbing me. In winter, it can even hold a hand warmer, keeping my arm warm when resting on it. However, if water spills inside, it must be wiped dry immediately to prevent circuit short circuits. For safety, avoid leaving phones in visible spots to deter thieves. I recommend testing the armrest boxes of different car models when choosing a vehicle—too low and your arm gets sore, too shallow and items fall in and are hard to retrieve. In short, a well-designed one adds significant value.

It's called the center console area. I just bought the car recently and found that empty space is most convenient for storing miscellaneous items. Placing the phone nearby allows for easy access, and the cup holder keeps drinks from spilling. The operation buttons are concentrated there, allowing one-touch adjustment of the audio volume, but beginners might press the wrong buttons—it's advisable to familiarize yourself with them before driving. I once tried storing sunscreen there, but the bottle deformed after prolonged sun exposure, so I switched to using a hard case instead.

We usually call it the armrest box. Those who have driven older models know that it used to be just a hard panel, but now it's mostly soft-padded, which doesn’t hurt after sitting for long. You can stash small change or a notebook inside, and with the air vent blowing directly at it, drinks won’t get warm. Just don’t overstuff it, or you’ll have to bend down to grab things. I’ve owned three cars, and the touchscreen on the newer models scratches easily—applying a screen protector makes it more durable.
