Where is the center console?

[HaileyRose]

The center console is the area that controls the car's air conditioning, audio, and other comfort and entertainment devices. The car center console includes the central control door lock system, allowing the driver to control the opening and closing of all car doors and the window lift system. Cars with gear shifts located on the center console include: Mercedes-Benz Vito, Volkswagen Multivan, Buick GL8, Honda Odyssey, etc., which are generally found in MPV models. Reasons for designing the gear lever on the center console: 1. Increase space utilization; 2. Facilitate driver operation. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 as an example, its body structure is a five-door seven-seat MPV, with body dimensions of: length 5238mm, width 1878mm, height 1776mm, a wheelbase of 3088mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66L, a luggage compartment capacity of 475 to 1605L, and a curb weight of 1880kg.
