You can choose from a few knobs or a touchscreen of 9.2-inch with gesture control.
Just like the VW Golf evolved over the years, so too did its radio systems. In the 1970s you had only two knobs and three buttons. This was a far cry than today’s Golf7.5 with its sophisticated infotainment system. The original model didn’t have a cassette player, but the modern model recognizes gestures and can play music from your smartphone without having to connect it to the infotainment.
This slideshow perfectly illustrates the evolution of an important feature in a car, in this case the Golf. It is one of the most well-known nameplates in the industry. The compact model has been around for over 40 years and it is difficult to find anyone with a valid license who hasn’t driven one in its seven generations.
Physical controls may be eliminated in the future considering that the range-topping Discover Pro already lost them. The touchscreen is a large 9.2-inch screen with a glass design. Some people love it, but others prefer knobs for simple functions like volume or changing stations.
