"Last year, Mindt told that Volkswagen would commit to reintroducing physical buttons for the most important functions "in every car we make from now on," starting with the ID. 2all concept car that has since evolved to become the ID. Polo. The EV maker backed up those claims since the ID. Polo will feature tangible buttons underneath the infotainment display, along with a steering wheel that's packed with even more clear buttons."
"The German automaker unveiled the interior of its upcoming compact EV, which features real buttons, switches and even a knob for audio controls. "We have created an interior that feels like a friend from the very first contact," Volkswagen's chief designer, Andreas Mindt, said in a press release. "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.""
The ID. Polo interior emphasizes tangible controls with real buttons, switches and a center knob for audio functions. Clear physical buttons sit beneath the infotainment display and the steering wheel also contains numerous distinct buttons. The cabin pairs these tactile controls with a 10.25-inch digital cockpit and a nearly 13-inch central touchscreen. A retro-inspired instrument view modeled after the classic Golf I can be selected via the steering-wheel button or the touchscreen. Warm materials and charming details aim to create an inviting, familiar atmosphere. The ID. Polo will launch in European markets later this year as the first of four compact EVs.
