The company announced that the sale of a new electrical crossover ID.4 will begin from mid-February, simultaneously in 30 European countries, including Germany. Supplies to customers will begin from March in Europe, and in China, and in the US from the middle of the year. Volkswagen systemally performs a program to distribute its electrical products in the market, and intends to produce at least 1.5 million electric cars in 2025 (it is the Volkswagen brand, not counting other brands that are included in the group).
Ralph Brandstater, General Director of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, "ID.4 plays an important role. The ID.4 Volkswagen model expands its model range to offer an electric vehicle in the world's largest segment for sales growth - in the class of compact SUVs. Thus, the output to the market of our crossover is an important strategic milestone for the brand. "

In China ID.4 will be supplied to customers in two versions of configuration: ID.4 Crozz and ID.4 X.

We hope to deliver customers more than 100,000 ID.4 cars only this year. "
In the first time, an electric crossover in two options for configuration. They will differ by the container of the traction battery, the range, and the power of the engine. Version ID.4 Pure is equipped with a 52 kW battery with a battery, providing a range up to 348 km (WLTP), and version ID.4 Pro, with a 77 kW battery * h, and a range of up to 522 km (WLTP). Depending on the version of the engine power will be 125 kW (170 hp), or 150 kW (204 hp). At full power ID.4 accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.5 seconds. During the year, a sports top model with full-wheel drive - ID.4 GTX will appear. In Germany, the price of ID.4 Pure Performance begins with 38,450 € (including 19% VAT).

All ID.4 models are standardly supplied with Discover Pro navigation system and WE Connect Start online services. In the same way, there is a projection display with augmented reality, which projects the image in the driver's field of view, dynamically displays the selected characters and combines them with reality. For example, the navigation arrows will appear in the field of view of the driver at a distance of ten meters from each other, which corresponds to the route of the road.
Despite the fact that ID.4 is counted to the CD segment of CDs, which is strange, it is very spacious in its overall characteristics. Due to the long wheelbase of 2.77 meters for the rear passengers, there is no place for the legs as much as in the class class above. And the height of the ceiling, allows you to consider ID.4 by a real car, even from the point of view of the British, who say that the real car is only the one in which the gentleman can sit down, without removing hats. This is certainly a joke. But the spacious interior is great.
ID.4 It can naturally "digest" fast charging up to 125 kW, when less than 30 minutes can be replenished with an energy battery for the next 320 kilometers.
The decent capacity of the battery, the possibility of a quick charge, a spacious salon and an impressive 543-liter trunk make ID.4 ideal tourist car on which it is possible to ride long distances with full comfort. The volume of the trunk can be expanded to 1575 liters by folding the rear seats. ID.4 1st Max has a rear door with an Easy Open & Close electric drive, which opens with the movement of the leg.

But that's not all. Some Volkswagen plans have discovered a few hours ago by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technologies of China (MIIT), publishing images of the future electric SUV Volkswagen ID.6 X, which, with a great degree of probability, will rise to production in China already this year. Its overall parameters are: length, width and height - 4876/1848/1680 mm, and wheels base - 2965 mm.
ID.6 X, Most likely, this is already a serial version version presented earlier by the ID.ROOMZZ concept. It was assumed that id. Roomzz will be equipped with a battery with a capacity of 82 kW * h, and its range will be up to 450 km (WLTP) or 475 km (NEDC, China).
The concept was assumed that the electric car will have a steering wheel, approximately as a new Tesla Model S Plaid, however, judging by the merged photo, VW ID.6 x will still be a classic steering wheel. So, Volkswagen Now, with a complete base, you can declare the main competitor to TESLA. They are most likely not to interfere with each other, but that they both will do exactly, so it will finally turn over the world automotive industry. And the opponents of the electric car will have to still learn and the name of the new enemy - Herbert Diss, head of Volkswagen, and Ilona Mask.
