Volkswagen Reveals ID. Polo Interior as Template for Future ID Cockpits

Volkswagen describes the layout as a customer‑driven course correction toward clearer controls.

Overview

  • The cockpit pairs a 26.0 cm (10.25 in) driver display with a 33 cm (13 in) central touchscreen, using simplified graphics for quicker readability.
  • A dedicated climate-control strip with physical buttons returns alongside a clearly structured multifunction steering wheel and a center-console rotary volume knob.
  • Recycled materials feature extensively, including 100% recycled PET for headliner, seat covers and trim fabrics, with Seaqual yarn used on top-trim seats.
  • An updated operating system adds One‑Pedal‑Driving, upgraded parking assistants and an optional Travel Assist that can recognize red lights and stop signs.
  • The ID.Light visual interface now extends into the front doors, and a selectable Retro mode renders instruments and infotainment graphics with 1980s‑style cues.
