Following the cancellation of this year's International Motor Show in Geneva, the Volkswagen brand's trade fair stand is now available virtually.

The 360° tour offers an interactive digital experience in which users immerse themselves in the trade fair: They can stroll around the stand, look at the vehicles from all sides and also change their color and rim configuration.
"I am pleased that, despite the cancellation of the Geneva Motor Show, our marketing team has managed to make our stand accessible to all visitors.

It shows once again that special situations also produce special solutions," said Jürgen Stackmann, Board Member for Sales, Marketing and After-Sales for the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand.
