Dutch term
hoge pasvorm
Dutch to English
Tech/Engineering
Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Het nieuwe dashboard is totaal nieuw ontworpen.
Hierbij waren uitgangspunten: ergonomie voor de bestuurder, hoge pasvorm én afwerking van de afzonderlijjke delen en het gebruik van nieuwe zachte en luxueus aanvoelende materialen.
Kenmerken van deze hoge pasvorm en afwerking zijn:
geen zichtbare schroeven en bevestigingen;
logische groepering en positionering van schakelaars;
nieuw nerf en deco afwerking;
nieuw kleurenschema;
optimale ergonomie
I know pasvorm can mean fit, or sometimes shape but am a bit stumped here. All help gratefully received.

high-quality fit
goes with hoge pasvorm én afwerking. I may be wrong (and if I am, will certainly hear about it), but imo it's more marketing speak than techy speak. I do a lot of car marketing texts and they are not always written to perfection.
The interior is warm and inviting with classy trim and high-quality fit and finish.

Het interieur: luchtig en dynamisch
Het interieur van de A1 is ruim en luchtig. Het instrumentenpaneel is suggestief van een vliegtuigvleugel, haar vier ronde lucht sproeiers doen denken aan de turbines van een straalvliegtuig. De duidelijke ergonomie en de compromisloze hoge pasvorm en afwerking typeren hoge normen van de Audi merk. Veel liefdevol ontworpen details in het interieur het document van de premie karakter van de Audi A1.

: Yes, high-quality fit and finish seems to be trade jargon. I get over 2 million Ghits for: Car Interior "high-quality fit and finish"

high-level fit
pasvorm => fit
"high fit" would not work in this context.

| Hi Alexander and Scott. I agree that quality is not mentioned and that high-level could have worked, but in the end went with writeway's suggestion. Thanks for helping out. |

: The source does not say 'pasvorm van hoge kwaliteit', so indeed not mentioning 'quality' seems better.

high fit
Not sure if it makes sense, but here it has been translated as "high fit" for the Audi A1.
