"Everyone basically agrees: if you want people to transition from polluting gas guzzlers to electric cars, you have to make them more affordable. The luxury EVs, with their big battery packs and fine leather interiors, are all well and good, but if you really want to move the needle on EV adoption, we need more entry-level options. And so far, we're lacking."
"Volkswagen hears this, and is responding with a new lineup of small and mid-sized electric vehicles aimed squarely at the low end of the market. We've already seen the ID.2all - recently renamed ID. Polo and ID. Polo GTI - and ID.EVERY1 concepts. Now we're getting a fourth concept, the ID. Cross, which VW says will get a proper reveal next year. The concept's name invokes the ID.4's predecessor, the ID.Crozz, from 2017."
Volkswagen is targeting affordable EV adoption with a new lineup of small and mid-sized electric vehicles aimed at entry-level buyers. The ID. Cross concept offers around 260 miles of range and adopts a friendlier, more approachable design featuring narrow headlights and a slightly curved lightbar. The ID. Cross will serve as an electric counterpart to the popular T-Cross and will be built on the MEB Plus platform. The MEB Plus is described as an improvement over the current MEB that powers the ID.4, the ID Buzz, and other Audi and Skoda models. A proper reveal is planned next year.
