Volkswagen expands its ID family with the new Cross, an urban electric SUV. Its arrival responds to the high demand for raised and compact vehicles in Europe. The brand seeks a larger share in a segment where rivals like the Peugeot e-2008 or the Hyundai Kona Electric are already established. The design follows the ID line, with a more adventurous touch.
MEB Platform and Everyday Autonomy 🧠
The model is based on Volkswagen's modular electric MEB platform. It equips a 52 kWh net battery and a 170 HP electric motor. The announced WLTP range is around 340 km, a figure oriented towards mainly urban and peri-urban use. Regarding charging, it accepts up to 115 kW on DC, allowing a recharge from 10 to 80% in less than 30 minutes.
Finally an SUV cross that won't cross any fields 🏙️
With its black plastic moldings and a name that evokes adventure, the ID. Cross is ready to tackle the most challenging terrains: the speed bumps in industrial parks and the curbs in blue zones. Its off-road capability will be tested mainly by the gravel in construction urbanizations. A vehicle for those who need the high driving position, but whose most winding path is the roundabout.
