"The announcement begins with quite the flex: "Volkswagen, the largest supplier of electric cars in Germany and Europe in 2025... Maybe we should let this company spike the football, or whatever the equivalent European sporting term is. After all, you still have to get up pretty early in the morning if you're going to take down Tesla or any of the rising Chinese electric-vehicle newcomers.""
"But for its next act, Volkswagen's EV game is about to seem a lot more conventional than its past lineup of ID. cars. Meet the Volkswagen ID. Cross Concept. It's probably our clearest vision yet of how VW is imagining its second generation of modern EVs: much more normal-looking, in line with existing models that VW customers love, and with-hopefully-fewer of the experimental designs and control issues on past cars that few people warmed up to. And, even more importantly, a host of improvements to batteries, software and the EV platform itself."
Volkswagen unveiled the ID. Cross Concept ahead of the IAA Munich auto show in Germany. The concept represents an evolution beyond past ID electric cars toward a more conventional, mainstream design language. The ID. Cross Concept serves as an electric counterpart to the popular gas-powered T‑Cross, targeting the small urban crossover segment and prioritizing interior space. Design changes aim to reduce experimental controls and styling that limited appeal on earlier ID models. The vehicle incorporates improvements in batteries, software, and the EV architecture, using the MEB+ platform and adding technologies previously reserved for higher classes.
