A centre console similar to this from a conceptual point of view has so far only been found on board a much larger Volkswagen design icon: the ID. Buzz. The seats share the same variability as the centre console: the front passenger seat and the rear seats can be folded down and thus adapted to various transport scenarios – including configuration as a safe place for any four-legged guests on board. The ID. EVERY1 thus becomes a perfectly thought-out companion for everyday life, intuitive to use and extremely adaptable.
