@Tell - thanks for posting. It looks OK but not as ‘sharp suited’ as the Raval.

With VW’s recent track record, I’d be wary of being an early adopter of an all new VW EV - or any all new VW - in case it suffers similar software gremlins to those that afflicted the mk8 / mk8.5 Golf and many (most?) other VW models.

It’s interesting that VW seem to have raided Renault’s R5 EV parts bin for the rear exterior door handles and the row of physical HVAC controls………..

I like the interior but hopefully there will be some darker interior colour options as I can’t see that impractical light coloured fabric trim standing up too well in the medium to longer term.

Yes the Leon4s and Formentors suffered from the early adopter syndrome last time. All those MQB Evos.
