Volkswagen is Bringing Back the Old Interior: A Backward Revolution!
Volkswagen has finally admitted that they went too far with modern screens and digital controls in their cars. The head of technical development, Kai Grünitz, openly stated that they are working on bringing back traditional switches and functionalities that have been standard for years.
The End of the Era of Big Screens and Touch Strips
Forget those huge screens that took over every inch of the dashboard and the touch strips for volume control that replaced the good old rotary knobs. Volkswagen plans to bring back the old, proven solutions in the ID.3 and ID.4 models – the rotary knob for volume control is just the beginning.
Why Does This Matter?
Many drivers complained that modern interiors became complicated and impractical. All functions were concentrated on the screen, which often distracted attention and made driving harder. Volkswagen now admits that if something works for years, there is no reason to change it – unless you want to shoot yourself in the foot, as one source said.
Which Models Will Get the New-Old Interior?
The first models with redesigned interiors are expected next year. The new ID.2 will be the first, followed by redesigned versions of the ID.3 and ID.4. This change will not only cover electric models but also those with internal combustion engines.
Is This an Admission of Failure or a Return to Roots?
Volkswagen has long pushed digitalization and futuristic interior design, but apparently, they overdid it. Returning to traditional switches and functionality can be seen as an admission that modern trends in car interiors are often more harmful than helpful.
What Does This Mean for Drivers?
Drivers can expect simpler, more intuitive, and safer control of car functions. No more searching for the right part of the screen while driving – everything will be at your fingertips, just like before.
Conclusion
Volkswagen has made a U-turn and returned to its roots. Is this the start of a trend or just a pit stop? One thing is sure – drivers will be grateful for this move. What do you think about this return to the old interior? Are you for digital revolutions or classic switches? Drop a comment, maybe together we’ll figure out what’s better!
