VW ID CROSS CONCEPT - THE MODERN PEOPLE'S CAR!

EV Channels Review

The VW ID.Cross concept presents a compelling vision for Volkswagen's future small electric vehicles, aiming to recapture core brand values. The exterior design is praised for its simplicity and recognizability, avoiding the perceived missteps of other brands. Inside, the focus is on improved material quality, the return of physical buttons for climate control and steering wheel functions, and a more premium, less plasticky feel, including the use of fabric and high-grade leatherette. The interior offers surprising space for its compact exterior dimensions, with a versatile trunk and potential for a flat-folding front seat creating extensive cargo capacity. The reviewer highlights the 450-liter trunk, with additional storage underneath, and the possibility of a 2-meter-long load space. Positives include the return of tactile controls, improved interior materials, and practical space utilization. Concerns revolve around the higher floor in the rear seats and the pricing, with the entry-level model featuring a small battery that may not be practical for many users, pushing the likely price for a more desirable configuration towards €38,000-€40,000.
