Overview
- The new cockpit debuts a multi-function two-spoke steering wheel with physical buttons, separate climate keys below the screen, conventional window and mirror switches, and a rotary audio controller on the center console.
- The display setup pairs a 10.25-inch driver screen with a 13-inch infotainment unit, including a Retro Mode that mimics classic Golf and Polo gauges and adds a cassette-style music animation.
- Cabin materials emphasize perceived quality with fabric surfaces on seats, doors, knee rests, and the lower dash, plus a black mesh upper dash and an extended ID. Light strip into the front doors.
- Updated software brings one-pedal driving and advanced parking assistants, while the latest Travel Assist is reported to recognize red lights and stop signs.
- Specs carry over with 37 kWh LFP (85 kW or 99 kW, up to 90 kW DC) or 52 kWh NMC (155 kW or 166 kW GTI, up to 130 kW DC), with a Europe debut targeted for spring 2026 around €25,000 and reports suggesting the lowest-priced version may arrive after launch.
