Volkswagen completes a new line of affordable EVS with ID. Transverse concept

Everyone is basically agree: if you want people to cross with polluting gasps in electric cars, you must be more accessible. Luxury EVS, with its large batteries and fine leather interiors, all are good and good, but if you really want to move the needle to the adoption, we need more input level options. And so far we are missing.

Volkswagen hears and reacts with a new lining of small and medium electric vehicles intended for malfunctions at low market. We’ve already seen Id.2all – Recently renamed ID. Polo and id. Polo GTI – I Id.everi1 Concepts. We now get the fourth concept, ID. The cross, which VV says that next year will receive an appropriate discovery. Call concept name Representative id.4, id.crozzSince 2017. years.

Id. Cross introduces a new design language that VV says it is “friendly” and more affordable than your current EVS setup. For this evidence, do not look further from the front fascia with its narrow headlights and slightly curved light that looks like smiling inside you.

Electric colleague on popular VV T-Cross, ID. The cross will be built on the MEB plus car platform, which is improvement over the current match that authorizes ID.4 Crossover Jeep, ID Buzz minivanAnd a dozen other vehicles from Audi, Skoda and others. This platform for the next gene will have better batteries, motors and software, promises VV – which, If you’ve ever encountered a current MEB vehicle softwareThey will come as if they were welcome the news.

The concept motor of the drive on the front wheels of 155kV power, which is equivalent to about 208 horsepower. It has a range of 420km (260 miles) based on the generous VLTP cycles. And can guess a maximum speed of 175 km / h (108 mph). And with the connecting ball, ID. The cross can be pulled up to 75 kg (165 lbs), which VV says that it is enough to transport two e-bicycles.

This new drive system will be built in Europe; If the fact is, VV does not mention all the American market. Not surprisingly, taking into account the uneven success of EVS car manufacturers in America. But still disappointing, given how much we starved for fun, affordable EVS.

Id. The cross will be similar to size T-CrossThe less than the already pretty compact ID.4 SUV. The cross will be 4.161 mm (164 inches) wide 1.839 mm (72), and a high 1,588 mm (63 mm) high – with two-end complexes of 2,601 mm (102 inches). The concept is cut at 21 inch wheels alui designed specifically for ID. Cross.

It was said, VV tries to use a small size in his best advantage. With five people inside, id. The cross will have a storage capacity of 450 liters, plus another 25 liters in Frunk. Adding anterior truck is a nice surprise, given all VV’s current EVS hardly lacking with additional storage space.

The interior includes surfaces covered with a fabric on a hyphens that match materials used in seats. Steering wheel functions – GASP! – Real control keys for control functions and more, which is noticeable because VV got a lot of blowing due to lack of physical controls in its current EVS crop. The front seats can be folded flat, wash with rear seats when accommodating, to create a completely flat surface that can be used to camp car.

VW says the ID version is. Cross will get the right summer, after starting the ID. Polo and id. Polo GTI, based on the concept of ID.2All. Id.edi1 – who has yet to get its production rebranded name – will exit 2027. Years.

VV bets that his new “cute” and affordable EVs will help raise rich in front of a fierce competition from China, especially at low market. The German car manufacturer, which also owns Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Skoda, Seat and others, did not have the same type of success as her Crosstown Rival BMV or even South Korean competitions like Hyundai and Kia. His European sales was a bright point in an otherwise uneven portfolio, which can explain why the company does not make any obligations outside the continent.
