That's true but it also varies from car to car, some look bad from regular TPP camera view, and others look perfectly good.
Anyway it shouldn't be like that. They as usual made some bad decisions and still didn't fatigue to change in game tesselation value.
The thing is when camera is just a bit closer (even 1m), tesselation makes everythig round. It would need just a small tweak, yet PD still didn't do it.
Let's hope they will fix it finally in GT8.
Also some tracks gave quite good 3D trees, and at the same time other tracks still use 2D ones.
There is a lot to improve, even this gen.

Interior is part of the model, isnt it?
Also it doesnt really matter if its regular LOD(inseret number) swap, or lack of tesselation. The fact is, during gameplay cars have much less polygons than other games. Exhaust pipes and taillights often are angular instead of round...even on PS5 Pro.

And it shouldnt be like that. PS5 have enough of power to display full LOD, at least for player car. Nowdays most of the games do that.
Heck, even some PS3/X360 did that.
Even when you compare GT7 to GT6 (a game from 2 generations before!), youll see than interiors are actually better in old game, and that says alot...

Theres no doubt that GT7 has best in class lighting, materials and HDR. But gameplay models and trees are often quite bad.

Back in a day, racing games were THE games to show new generation. Not anymore.
Forza Motorsport niw finally fixed terrible 2D trees. But that was done in expense of huge downgrade in textures and poor car shaders. Horizon 5 is pretty big step forward....but only in 30fps mode. In performance mode, world LOD and stuff like shadows from headlights got removed (again, thing that was present in FH4 before).
Its pretty sad that on new gen hardware they still have to downgrade some things in order to upgrade others...
