VW I.D. Crozz makes a Spy Photo Debut with Production Body [UPDATE]

It will likely be available at dealers within a year.

Volkswagen is set to launch its first mass-produced all-electric vehicle in 2019. Known as the ID.3 it is a small hatch that is roughly the same size as the current Golf. It will be joined by an elevated crossover which is also part of this I.D. family. This spy photo shows the vehicle in question, which was first shown as a concept in 2017.

According to our knowledge, the electric crossover will sit between Tiguan Allspace and Tiguan Allspace. It will have slightly larger exterior dimensions than the former but still offer a lot more space inside the cabin. Although the prototype confirms that the production model will be in line with the design language of this concept, there are some major differences.

The rear of the trial car is more like a hatchback than the study’s steep roofline and large overhang. The rear doors have traditional designs with hinges at both the front and back, as well as door handles at each end. The wheels on the I.D. are much smaller than the I.D. Crozz and I.D. Crozz II concepts but this is normal. Actual size may vary depending upon customers’ preferences.

Production I.D. Crozz (name withheld) will be sharing its architecture with ID.3. The MEB platform will serve as the foundation for the all-wheel drive SUV. It will be powered by two electric engines, one for each axle. The electric powertrain will produce more than 300 horsepower (224 megawatts) according to preliminary information.

Check out these Concepts:

A large battery pack can provide approximately 310 miles (500 km) of range between two charges. It may also have a fast-charging function that allows you to recover up to 80 percent of your energy in as little as 30 minutes with a 150-kW charger.

It is evident that this prototype was a test vehicle. We believe it will not be available for sale until the second half 2020. It has already been confirmed that the launch will take place in the United States. According to reports, production will take place at VW’s Emden factory in Germany.
