Volkswagen died. They totally gave up.
The only winner here is whatever company makes all the cheap ass black plastic that goes in shitboxes.
>>
They seem to be selling a fuckload to the Jeets. They might as well call it the Jeeta because that's the only people I see driving them.

Mahindra won't tolerate this forever. They sell a 4runner/defender clone that doesn't look too bad.
>>
friends don't let friend buy VAGinas

I get why they went back to the Golf 7 steering wheel after all the feedback, but it does look a bit out of place with all that glossy plastic touchcrap everywhere.
Wasn't there even a class action lawsuit for accidents caused by the glossy steering wheel touch buttons?
>>
>>28974065
You would think so.
>>
god just ditch the climate control and radio sliders, please
>>
>>28974622
They did sorta on new skodas interestingly you get digital multifunction dials but its probably better than this
>>
>>28974638
Yeah, anything's got to be better.
The touch slider crap is like an idea out of some quirky Chinese kitchen appliance or something. In a device like that, they might just barely be tolerable because you don't have to use it that often and when you do, you're not trying to drive a fucking car. And when you get sick of it, you can throw it in the e-waste and go buy something that doesn't suck.
I don't think the car fits in the e-waste bin.

It's weird cuz Skoda is the designated budget brand but they won't migrate the better dials into the mainsteam VW lineup

my sweet good what I wouldn't give for a car with at least 8 dials to control things that actually has a grippy, knurled surface and detents for the different settings

this press release suggests the smart dials are from late 2024

Vw is transitioning to the id polo interior across the entire lineup, but assembly line changes only happen during summer and winter shutdown.

they just gave up

the meb platform (which I assume the "id polo" is based on) was created hastily in the wake of dieselgate, was not well received initially, and hs never improved
>>
>>28975117
Well, I'm seeing what appear to be physical AC switches, what could be a volume knob and even four buttons for powered windows.
Wonder how badly they cheaped out on the rest of the platform, spending a fortune on luxuries like that.
>>
>>28975117
>they just gave up
it is propably the best looking and most practical interior since the golf mk2.
>and hs never improved
what do you expect, incrementally improving the platform is retarded since the entire point of using a platform is keeping the BOM small across the entire group. Most of the additions are governmental requirements, like the trunk cam, sfd 2 and crash break assist
Fundamental changes will happen with the next one, ssp
>>
>>28975263
Eh, BYD did the same thing, row of identical switches, it's still nowhere near as good a setup as chunky dials and lots of real buttons on the console and steering wheel.

>>28975435
>they gonna give u a REAL new platform soon
in 2035

Designers who use piano black should be executed by firing squad on national television.
>>
>>28975738
Why blame the designers? Someone is producing this in factories and selling it to automakers.
>>
>>28973573
That clutch pedal is fucking MASSIVE! Otherwise it looks like chinkshit with a VW logo.

VAG should be forcibly shut down
