WOLFSBURG: The all-new ID. Polo offers a glimpse into the interior of Volkswagen's future ID. models.
Features include new clarity and quality, and intuitive controls with familiar VW operating patterns adopted and further developed.
At the same time, a new software generation brings fresh functions to the ID. Polo.
The charm of the 1980s is now present in the vehicle thanks to the retro display: with a single button press, the digital instrument displays transform into screen views reminiscent of the first Golf.
Volkswagen Brand board member for technical development Kai Grünitz says, "Our new interior architecture, starting with the all-new ID. Polo, elevates the customer experience to a new level: with clean lines, high-quality materials, and an intuitive operating environment with physical buttons and newly structured screens."
"In addition, from the ID. Polo onwards, our next software generation will deliver noticeably more comfort and functions for our customers. This includes, for example, the third generation of Travel Assist, which will soon recognise red traffic lights and stop signs, as well as comfortable one-pedal-driving,” he added.
Key elements of Volkswagen’s new cockpit landscape include:
- Displays with clear information and tidy menu structures
- More buttons for direct functions
- A multi-function steering wheel with clear button controls
- Adoption of familiar VW operating patterns
Volkswagen chief designer Andreas Mindt says, "The all-new ID. Polo is an affordable friend for everyday life. Just as the Polo always was, but now electric.”
Two large displays include the digital cockpit behind the steering wheel, with a screen diagonal of 26cm (10.25 inches), and the 33cm (almost 13-inch) touchscreen of the infotainment system.
Separate buttons for climate functions and the hazard warning lights are integrated into a strip below the infotainment screen.
Positioned between the smartphone tray and the cup holders is a rotary controller for audio operation.
