What is the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit?

2019 Volkswagen Tiguan with digital cockpit



One of the brand’s most innovative features is the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. What is it and what does it do? Available on many new Volkswagen vehicles, such as the Atlas SUV, the VW Digital Cockpit replaces the traditional dash with a customizable high-resolution display and digital gauges. This means you’ll have all of your vehicle’s information within your line of sight. The easy-to-read screen includes the following:

  • Speedometer
  • Altimeter
  • Tachometer
  • Compass
  • Driving range
  • Navigation
  • Phone
  • Safety features
  • Fuel economy
  • And more!

You can jump between displays to find the information and updates you need. Additionally, you can customize up to four display preferences. If you plan to share your vehicle, you and the other driver can save settings. The VW Digital Cockpit also stores cabin temperatures, seating positions, and side-mirror positions.


What Does the VW Digital Cockpit Include?

  • The 12.3-inch, thin-film transistor (TFT) creates 1440 by 540-pixel resolution.
  • The display is positioned ahead of the steering wheel, so you don’t have to squint to read the screen.
  • You’ll gain access to all sorts of information, from navigation directions for the best brunch sports in Alexandria to safety system updates like Adaptive Cruise Control.
  • You can view your contact list via the display and use the steering wheel-mounted controls to place and receive calls.
