Volkswagen has revealed the interior of the ID. Polo, the first model to receive its new generation of interiors.
It features higher quality materials, some of which are recycled, additional physical buttons for common functions such as climate control and a retro display function.
The ID. Polo has a 26cm digital cockpit display and a 33cm touchscreen, both of which operate on a new generation of software, with additional features such as red traffic light recognition on Volkswagen’s Travel Assist advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).
A two-spoke multi-function steering wheel will also debut on the ID. Polo, while retro display feature makes the digital instruments look like those of the original Volkswagen Golf.
Kai Grünitz, board member for technical development at Volkswagen, said: “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.”
Andreas Mindt, chief designer at Volkswagen, said: “The all-new ID. Polo is an affordable friend for everyday life.
“Just as the Polo always was, but now electric. We have created an interior that feels like a friend from the very first contact.
“Clear physical buttons provide stability and trust, warm materials make it appealing, and charming details such as the new retro views of the instruments show the typical Volkswagen wink.
“All this makes the ID. Polo a compact car with a big heart – ‘Pure Positive’ in its purest form.”
