Volkswagen ID. Polo Interior Revealed with Physical Buttons, Fabric Dashboard

Volkswagen's ID. Polo combines physical controls with digital features, including a retro-inspired display, aiming for user-friendly and familiar EV interiors in Europe.

  • This year, Volkswagen unveiled the ID. Polo interior, marking a return to tactile controls with more buttons and dials for its compact EV cockpit.
  • Citing customer feedback, Volkswagen says it aims to deliver intuitive controls with physical buttons, fulfilling Andreas Mindt's pledge last year to include them `in every car we make from now on.`
  • Hardware details show buttons under the infotainment and a dedicated physical knob adjusts audio, while a nearly 13-inch center touchscreen pairs with a 10.25-inch digital cockpit and steering-wheel button.
  • Polo is slated as the first of four compact EVs for Europe, with releases in European markets starting this year, and Volkswagen says it has no plans to launch the model in the United States.
  • Combining tactile controls with a new software generation positions Volkswagen to reshape its ID lineup's UX, with the design team’s 'Secret Sauce' featuring fabric-covered surfaces and fresh functions, Volkswagen says.
