I have to agree. It looks like it has been stuck on and is quite obstructive of the view to the front.

It’s just a test mule. The screen could end up that size but the whole dash architecture will probably be redesigned to integrate it! Plus that is what testing is for; big chance that VW’s accountants will have it shrinked anyway.
It’s so early in dev stage that the old screen still sits behind it!






And this is the spy shots from the ‘new’ Tiguan coming next year. As you can see this has been integrated so the dash is covered up accordingly.

Well it is clearly going to be a floating screen, a lá Tesla. However it is well in position and not in the way of anything in the driver’s eyesight etc.

Fair point - if they want to go big they don't have much choice. Sitting in a new Focus with the 13.2 display highlighted to me screens can be to big!
