Volkswagen's show highlights at a glance

Connected Community. Even today almost all Volkswagen models have App Connect. Regardless of which smart phone customers use, practically any device can be integrated via MirrorLink, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. At CES, the company is showing that ecosystems from suppliers such as Amazon go together perfectly with the Volkswagen ecosystem. Person, car and surroundings are connected with one another via the Volkswagen User-ID. Using this ID, drivers will in the future be able to take their personal digital settings and services with them wherever they go – regardless of which Volkswagen or provider they originate from. This creates a totally new user experience.

In terms of integrating Amazon Alexa, for instance, Volkswagen goes one step further, seamlessly connecting the voice assistant with Volkswagen Car-Net services. At CES, the company is making it possible to fully experience how you can communicate with Alexa from your car.

Intuitive Usability. Volkswagen is putting its focus on vehicles with intuitive controls. 'Interactive Experience' systematically builds on the control concepts of the Golf R Touch and BUDD-e. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit (3D) is, for instance, celebrating its premiere. The Eyetracking function gives a preview of how the operation of vehicle features can be made even quicker and easier in combination with touch and gesture control. Finally, with the AR Head-up Display the real and virtual worlds merge into one.

Smart Sustainability and Automated Driving. The visionary I.D. combines the digitally connected world with an electrically powered car that has innovative controls and, when desired, can drive in fully automated mode. Volkswagen is presenting to the American public for the first time a prototype of this first compact model to be based on the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB).

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
