Exterior Design and Dimensions
The unique interplay of efficiency and dynamics is reflected once again in the NCC's styling, starting with a “Tungsten Silver Metallic” exterior. Klaus Bischoff, Chief Designer for the Volkswagen Brand, comments: “Styling of a coupe is considered the ultimate in automotive design. Our team has achieved a symbiosis of efficient technologies and elegance in the New Compact Coupe that is unique in its expression. Just a few precisely placed lines and powerfully sculpted surfaces have created a timeless dynamic and purist elegance that is typical of Volkswagen.”
Front end – Showing a strong face: The front of the New Compact Coupe shows an extremely confident and focused expression. Moreover, the NCC's width is emphasized by the horizontal line styling with integrated Bi-Xenon headlights - including LED daytime running and turn signal lights. The technically complex headlights contribute to an unmistakable visual recognition of the concept car – both day and night.
INTERIOR – ERGONOMICS AND DIMENSIONS
Showing its true colors: The NCC is a four-seater with exceptional long-distance touring comfort and generous occupant space, with sport seats upholstered in light-colored, “Berry White” leather. The lower cockpit area, portions of the center console, and the door trim panels also carry this lighter shade. By contrast, all other surfaces (except accents and controls), including the leather-trimmed steering wheel, are styled in a darker “Grigio Quartz” color.
Inside, the NCC offers an exceptional feeling of spaciousness for its class. Despite the sporty low body height, the car is able to offer ample head room front and rear, as well as leg room for rear passengers. The coupe’s 380 liter trunk can handle luggage for four passengers without a problem.
Climb in, buckle up, drive away: As soon as the NCC's doors are opened, another reason for the Volkswagen brand’s tremendous success is revealed: unparalleled perfection in details and intuitive operation. The instruments are all laid out in ideal positions. The new multifunction sport steering wheel is the key interface between human and machine. The right hand rests naturally on the 7-speed DSG's gearshift lever‚ which stands before the full control panel for driver and passenger. Newly-designed controls for the automatic climate control system (Climatronic), an 8-inch touchscreen radio-navigation system - also a new design - and, finally, the hazard flasher switch and center air vents all await. The center console is angled slightly toward the driver to perfectly align the cockpit to the driver’s needs. The round gauges with their chrome bezels and a multifunction display (trip computer and additional navigation display) placed between them, are also optimally positioned for easy viewing.
