But VW are bringing them back? The ID.Polo (seems like they dropped the Playstation style incrementing number for the old brand names) is the first of their new electric range with physical buttons for windows, climate, etc.
Basically the door and centre console have them back. Along with a touchscreen of course.
The VW ID.4 also seems like a gaming console. The steering wheel is full of capacitive buttons, you never know what you might accidentally activate or adjust.
If you just want to drive it's a really nice car, but the overuse of capacitive buttons on the steering wheel and key fob really lets the rest of the car down. The key fob is easily worse than that of a 2012 Renault.
Assuming that VW is returning to buttons, I can assure you that it was not for the 2025 models.
