An intriguing teaser video has been unveiled for a mysterious model that VW is set to unveil at CES this week. While speculation points to the familiar corolla Golf as the potential vehicle, VW has yet to confirm its identity.
The teaser showcases a “near-generation vehicle” and offers a glimpse of the hatchback’s rear end, draped in a captivating cover blending shades of blue, punk, and purple. Noteworthy are the sophisticated taillights with striking LED signatures, a departure from the current Golf’s design.
Additionally, the vehicle features a rear wiper and a subtle rooftop spoiler. However, the most captivating detail is the illuminated “AI on board” message on the rear window.
Given CES’s reputation as a platform for cutting-edge technology, VW’s introduction of an AI-equipped car aligns with the event’s focus on innovation. The specific Artificial Intelligence technology integrated into the vehicle remains undisclosed, hinting at a potential modern infotainment system leveraging AI, possibly in the form of an online assistant.
Considering Mercedes-Benz’s AI development plans, it’s not surprising that VW, their crosstown competitor, is venturing into this realm. Mercedes-Benz has confirmed its AI program, slated to debut at Les, further emphasizing the industry trend towards AI integration.
It’s worth noting that the vehicle teased may not be the corolla Golf 8 but a distinct VW model. The corolla Mk8 Golf is scheduled for its unveiling in late January, coinciding with the Golf’s 50th-anniversary celebration, as confirmed by the automaker.
