Looking at the Passat again, there are a lot of straight elements used inside, the paint trim of the central control is very atmospheric, and the front end of the three-spoke steering wheel is a 10.2-inch embedded instrument cluster, and the central control is equipped with an embedded 8-inch central control screen.
