Volkswagen has announced that it will eliminate cheap plastics from the interiors of its cars in Europe, replacing them with high-quality fabrics.
This change aims to improve the aesthetics and durability of the vehicles while simplifying the manufacturing of the door panels, thus reducing costs.
According to Christian Schreiber, head of design strategy, the new approach prioritizes functionality and seeks a more intuitive user experience, avoiding decorative excesses.
In addition to focusing on quality and sustainability, designers promise to incorporate nostalgic “Easter eggs” in the new models, referencing cars from the past. The head of design, Andy Mindt, reaffirmed VW’s commitment to this new philosophy, which seeks to differentiate itself from aggressive competition.
