To add to the car’s aesthetic appeal, the middle portion of the car’s roof consists of 2 halves that can be removed and stowed in the trunk.
Interior
The interior is quite amazing. VW has said the car has room for 4 people. You will also find a 12.3 inch TFT gauge display and a very tough, non-slip surface for dirty excursions.
There is a centre console tablet that gives passengers control over the exterior cameras and the in-ward-facing HD camera located at the rear view mirror.
The interior features a combination leather and cloth that provide a fresh looking set of color schemes that actually turn from a blue to a dark black color.
