Volkswagen ID. 4 Interior Revealed in Teaser for World Debut

The world premiere of the all-new Volkswagen ID. 4 fully electric SUV will take place on September 23. In order to whet our appetite even more, or because it just couldn’t wait any longer, the German automaker today revealed the first official pictures of the interior.

Immediately, we see that the overall layout is quite similar to that of the Volkswagen ID. 3, a Golf-looking hatchback unveiled a year ago and already on sale in Europe.

The clean dashboard has just a few physical controls—not in the middle but rather to the left of the steering wheel. The latter sports the new Volkswagen logo along with several buttons on a gloss black trim element. As indicated at the bottom of the steering wheel, the model shown here is a limited-production First Edition.

A fully digital instrument panel combines with a large 10-inch centre display that’s slightly angled toward the driver. At the bottom of the windshield, an LED strip supports drivers during navigation; for instance, it can prompt them to brake in the event of any dangers. And take a look at the pedals with the Play and Pause icons. Welcome to the digital age!

Described as a "modern, feel-good lounge," the cabin looks refined with two-tone upholstery and 30-colour ambient lighting. As for space and comfort, Volkswagen says the ID. 4 compares to traditional SUVs in a larger segment, especially in the rear-seat area.

Other highlights include generous door openings that make access easier, a high seating position, an available panoramic glass roof and ergonomically designed seats with optional massage function. By the way, the company has selected animal-free seat materials and even developed a microfibre fabric called ArtVelours with around 20 percent recycled PET bottles.

As for the exterior design, we already know what the Volkswagen ID. 4 will look like thanks to a couple of thinly camouflaged prototypes, as well as unofficial pictures that leaked from China in mid-June.

Come back September 23 for complete details and pictures of the ID. 4!
