The new Golf will shortly come to market with a revolutionary cockpit that is clearer, neater, completely digitalised, and connected online
Dubbed The Digital Cockpit, the new and upgraded dashboard will come as standard in the VW Golf and virtually all of the displays and controls are digital.
Touch sliders enable quick and intuitive access to temperature and volume controls, while a touch island under the infotainment system also provides direct access to additional air conditioning functions, the assistance systems, and – depending on the equipment included – driving modes and parking assistants.
In a second touch island, the light and vision functions have also been repositioned and brought together: the light, along with the windscreen and rear window heating, is now operated using a digital panel arranged higher up on the dashboard to the left of the instruments, even further improving the brand’s characteristic straightforward drive experience.
There is then an option to upgrade the Digital Cockpit to a High-End Cockpit. The new Innovision cockpit will allow the give the driver a larger range of functions, mainly a 10-inch navigation system and a windscreen HUD.
The Golf will also have voice command support and you can activate your system by simply saying “Hello Volkswagen”, “Take me home” or “I’m Cold”. Dual microphones inside the vehicle mean it can quickly establish who is speaking and respond accordingly. E.g. identifying which interior climate control zone needs changing.
The new golf’s connectivity will be enabled by an online connectivity unit (OCU) with an integrated eSIM, to which all infotainment systems in the Golf are coupled as standard.
