The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the potential applications and sustainability of lignocellulosic-based natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) in the automobile industry. It highlights the advantages of NFRPCs over synthetic composites, including lightweight properties, renewability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. The review examines the current state of knowledge, identifies research needs and existing limitations, and offers insights into future perspectives. Despite the promising potential of lignocellulosic fibers, challenges such as fiber-matrix compatibility, processing techniques, long-term durability, and property improvement remain. Continuous research is essential to address these issues and meet the increasing demand for eco-friendly, renewable, and energy-efficient materials in automotive design. The paper also discusses the extraction methods, classification, and manufacturing processes of natural fibers, as well as their physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, acoustic, and tribological properties. Finally, it explores the current applications of NFRPCs in the automotive sector and outlines the future direction, emphasizing the need for further advancements to overcome limitations and expand their use in critical automotive components.The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the potential applications and sustainability of lignocellulosic-based natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) in the automobile industry.
