Step 5 of 5

Three quick things

You are driving a Volkswagen on a public road, so these go on record before we hand over a key.

Everyone in the car is told about the camera before you pull away.

Part playlist, part product specialist

This screen deliberately does nothing. Nothing on it is worth a glance at 60km/h.

Your film is ready

That is what it looks
like in your life.

Shared

And that is the
next booking.

Every film carries the provincial badge of where it was driven, and a link that opens this journey for whoever watches it.

Step inside

The cabin is half the pitch: your maps and music on the 10.1 inch screen, digital dials in front of you, and the safety net running quietly underneath.

Where will it take you?

Shown for demonstration. Final South African specification to be confirmed by Volkswagen Group Africa.

← Back to the proposal

Take a Tengo booking journey, built for the QR slide. Not a Volkswagen product and not connected to any live system.

New in this version, per the 12 August regroup: you now drop your own destination anywhere inside a 5km radius instead of picking from a menu; there is a pre-drive education screen so people learn a feature before they try it; the camera consent is required rather than optional; and dealers appear as a pickup option with their salesperson riding along. Harold has been removed.

All artwork is Matt's, lifted from the deck. Change the city and the whole app rethemes to that province.

New in this pass: advert-style cards on the home screen, a Discover tab for the car itself with a swipeable gallery, and Matt's expanded icon sheet redrawn as crisp vectors across the destination chips and Discover. The gallery uses Volkswagen's own Tera product photography, standing in for the Tengo until South African assets exist. It is the same car. Good to know is gone from the app; those answers live in the proposal. Pretoria joins the city list per the team's route, with the culmination back in Johannesburg.
