The invention provides a design method of a combination instrument, the combination instrument and a vehicle. The design method includes the following steps: obtaining an eye ellipse according to a vehicle model design hard spot, wherein the eye ellipse is located in a visible area of the combination instrument; adjusting the curvature radius and/or installation angle of a face cover of the combination instrument to make the curvature center of the face cover to be located above the visible upper limit of the visible area; selecting an incident point above the eye ellipse; adjusting the brim of the combination instrument to make reflected rays formed after the face cover of the combination instrument reflects the incident rays which are formed between the incident point and the lowest point of the face cover of the combination instrument are blocked by the brim of the combination instrument.
