Round dials with a small driver information display in the centre.

The round air vents, the gearshift surround and the gear knob all carry the circular motif.[3][4]
Leather and aluminium are used in roughly equal measure. Two leather-padded aluminium struts linking the dashboard to the centre console are a signature detail.[5]
A US class action covered allegedly defective instrument clusters on 2000–2005 model-year TTs.[1]
