Volkswagen Unveils ID. Polo Interior With Physical Controls and 13-Inch Display

The cabin prioritizes intuitive, physical controls in response to customer feedback.

Overview

  • Volkswagen posted a first-look video as outlets detailed a production cabin closely aligned with the ID 2all concept, including a 10.25-inch driver display and a 13-inch infotainment screen with optional retro themes and Google Maps navigation.
  • Buttons replace touch sliders for core functions, with a dedicated climate-control row, a rotary volume/track dial, expanded steering-wheel controls, and traditional four-switch window operation.
  • MEB+ packaging increases usability and space, delivering noticeably more rear room and a 435-litre boot that surpasses the combustion Polo.
  • European launch is scheduled for spring 2026 with 85 kW, 99 kW, and 155 kW variants, a later 166 kW GTI, and 37 kWh LFP or 52 kWh NMC batteries offering up to 450 km WLTP range.
  • Media report an entry price around €25,000, with coverage indicating the cheapest trim will follow later in 2026, and production linked to SEAT/CUPRA’s Martorell plant with PowerCo supplying batteries.
