Car manufacturers love to get creative, hiding secret features for drivers to uncover. These hidden touches — often called Easter eggs — range from clever design details to digital surprises in the infotainment system.
We’ve rounded up some of the best and most creative Easter eggs hidden inside cars. How many have you spotted?
Skoda Superb’s door umbrella
The Skoda Superb goes the extra mile with its thoughtful design, hiding an umbrella neatly inside the rear door — a practical Easter egg that's also found on the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom.
But that’s not all — the Skoda Superb also hides a handy ice scraper behind the fuel filler, making frosty winter mornings a little easier to handle.
Vauxhall’s hidden shark
Vauxhall has a fun tradition of hiding sharks in its vehicles, a quirky design feature that first appeared in 2004. It all began when designer Dietmar Finger’s son suggested adding a shark to a sketch of a glovebox hinge, and the idea stuck.
Since then, the secret shark motif has been subtly integrated into Vauxhall cars, often hidden in places like the door panels, plastic trims, or beneath the centre console. A fun surprise for eagle-eyed owners!
Volkswagen ID.3’s play & pause pedals
Volkswagen added a creative twist to the ID.3’s pedals by incorporating play and pause symbols. Drivers press "play" to accelerate and "pause" to brake.
This fun design also appeared on the 2008 Renault Twingo RS, which featured a pause symbol on the clutch, a stop symbol on the brake, and a play symbol on the accelerator.
VW has since rolled out its play/pause pedals across the brand’s electric ID range, reinforcing its forward-thinking, tech-savvy spirit.
Jaguar E-Pace’s mother and cub
The Jaguar E-Pace may be the brand’s smallest SUV, but it’s big on the little details. Drivers who look closely at the base of the windscreen will find a silhouette of a mother jaguar and her cub — a subtle nod to the brand’s feline namesake.
Other E-Pace Easter eggs include "Est 1935 Coventry" tags on the seats and a Jaguar print inside the centre console storage cubby, adding even more character to this stylish SUV.
Jaguar XE’s beating button
Jaguar has a knack for adding subtle but meaningful details to its cars, and the XE saloon is no exception. When you press the start button, it pulses rhythmically at 72 bpm — matching the resting heart rate of a jaguar in the wild.
Just like the E-Pace’s jaguar silhouettes, this small yet powerful touch brings the car to life, reinforcing the brand’s living, breathing identity.
Volvo’s seatbelt tribute
Volvo is a pioneer in car safety — and proud of it. In 1959, it introduced the three-point seatbelt, a life-saving invention still used in every car today.
To honour that legacy, modern Volvos feature a seatbelt buckle inscribed with "Since 1959" — a subtle but powerful reminder of the brand’s commitment to protecting lives.
Volkswagen ID.Buzz’s bottle opener
The Volkswagen ID.Buzz is full of nostalgic charm and clever design. Hidden in the centre console is a retractable bottle opener and ice scraper — ideal for spontaneous road trips and camper van adventures.
Whether you’re heading to the coast or into the hills, the ID.Buzz has your back (and your bottle).
Tesla’s Dog Mode
Tesla is famous for its digital Easter eggs like Rainbow Road, Fart Mode and even a James Bond homage, but one of its most useful hidden features is Dog Mode.
When activated, Dog Mode keeps the cabin temperature safe for pets and displays a message on the touchscreen, reassuring passersby that your dog is comfortable and not in danger. It’s clever, practical, and very Tesla.
Jeep Renegade’s hidden details
The Jeep Renegade is loaded with subtle tributes to the brand’s rugged roots. You’ll find miniature seven-slot grilles throughout the car - on headlights, rearview mirrors, and even under the boot lid. The taillights and cupholders feature an X-shaped motif inspired by WWII jerry cans, while the floor mats display an outline of the original Jeep Willys.
Open the fuel cap, and you’ll be greeted by a tiny spider saying, “Ciao, Baby!” — a nod to the Renegade’s Italian production. And for the true adventurers, a trail map of Moab, Utah, is hidden inside the centre console.
Renault 5’s baguette holder
The new Renault 5 embraces its French flair, complete with a dedicated baguette holder for your trips to the bakery.
This stylish woven wicker basket is conveniently attached to the side of the centre console so you can keep your spotless upholstery crumb-free.
This isn’t the only Easter egg inside the Renault 5. The throwback EV is packed full of little details like a customisable gear shifter that’s shaped like a lipstick case.
