A single, low-resolution teaser image of VW’s new electric sedan has emerged online, previewing a familiar design for an electric VW. VW has been developing its new electric sedan for quite some time and previewed it in both 2018 and 2019 with the ID.Vizzion and ID.Space Vizzion concepts. VW briefly teased it during its annual press conference and chief executive Herbert Diess confirmed that sales will start in 2023.
This low-resolution image captured by
Motor1 previews the front-end design of the car, currently referred to as the
Aero B or ID.Aero. Some familiar VW ID design cues stand out. For example, the
car has a set of headlights similar to other ID models and also comes complete
with a full-width LED light bar. The front bumper is also quite striking and
certainly more muscular in appearance than the bumpers used by the ID.4 and
ID.5.
Although technical specifications about
the model remain under wraps, we know that it will use VW’s MEB platform and
should borrow its battery pack and electric motors from other ID models. In all
likelihood, rear- and all-wheel drive models will be offered and it’s claimed
that an 84 kWh battery pack is also on the cards, reportedly rated at up to 700 km of range on the WLTP test cycle.
VW won’t just sell the new vehicle as a
sedan either and has confirmed that it will spawn a Shooting Brake, which could
be similar in shape to the aforementioned ID.Space Vizzion concept from 2019’s
LA Auto Show.
