VW ID5 IS COMING UP: THIS ID CROZZ CONCEPT IS THE IDEA OF THE NEW EV

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen ID. Cross concept, presented as a preview of the upcoming ID.5, showcases a bold new design direction for Volkswagen's electric mobility. The exterior features a striking, coupe-like SUV profile with innovative lighting elements, including an illuminated VW logo and a full-width light bar, though regulatory approval for these features is still pending. The interior emphasizes a minimalist, lounge-like atmosphere with sustainable materials, a retractable steering wheel for autonomous driving, and a complete absence of physical buttons, relying instead on touch controls and voice commands. The concept boasts an all-wheel-drive system with 300 horsepower and an estimated 500 km range (approx. 350 km real-world), with a rear-wheel-drive version planned for affordability. While the concept is close to production, the final ID.5 will feature a slightly different roofline initially. The reviewer highlights the potential for a sporty driving experience due to the MEB platform's low center of gravity, comparable to a Golf GTI.
