The [electric vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-id-every1-concept) is characterized by its reconfigurable setup that consists of four seats along with a large table in the middle. Ambient lighting helps to set the mood, while the seating can be augmented depending on the needs of the passenger. The cabin maintains a bubble-like design to maximize natural light and give an airy feeling for passengers as they travel. The Volkswagen Gen.Travel concept maintains a decidedly less sleek aesthetic than other [futuristic vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-turismo), but is still nonetheless advanced.
