Here are the signature techniques used when photographing car interiors, based on the video and short clips you found:

Use of wide lenses to capture as much of the cabin as possible without extreme distortion
Careful camera placement (often from the back seat or passenger side) to show depth and context
CPL (circular polarizer) to cut reflections on glass, screens, and glossy trim
Tripod use for precise framing and longer exposures
Small, controllable lights (like compact RGB/LEDs) to fill shadows and highlight key areas of the interior

What kind of car interior shots are you trying to create—clean commercial, moody, or more documentary?
