"The new Volkswagen ID. Polo's interior is charmingly retro, in more ways than one. It doesn't just pack a lot more buttons and physical controlsthe compact EV also features design cues from classic Volkswagen models, like the original Polo and Golf. Best of all: a digital "tape deck" view when you play music. Volkswagen loves to lean on nostalgia. But sometimes, it just doesn't work out."
"But buttons aren't the only thing that will make the ID. Polo special. The car really, really gets into the retro groove, complete with digital reproductions of gauges from the classic Golf and Poloand even a "tape deck" display when you turn on the music. The folks at German auto review channel Autogefuhl have a deep dive video into the new ID. Polo's interior,"
"Let's start with the digital display in front of the driver. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this is maybe the most charming setup I've ever seen on any modern EV. You get an analog-looking speedometer, an LED display clock straight out of a Casio watch, retro-future battery charge and range readouts, and a "tachometer" that seems to be a kind of power gauge."
Volkswagen's ID. Polo interior embraces retro styling while modernizing EV controls, replacing capacitive panels with physical buttons and tactile controls. The cabin features digital recreations of classic Polo and Golf gauges, a cassette-style 'tape deck' music display, an analog-style speedometer, an LED clock reminiscent of a Casio, retro-future battery charge and range readouts, and a power-oriented 'tachometer.' The design intentionally references Mk1 and Mk2 Volkswagen hatchbacks, blending nostalgia with contemporary electric architecture. Prior Volkswagen attempts at retro EV design, like the ID. Buzz, struggled due to range and pricing, but the ID. Polo aims for charm and practicality.
