It appears Volkswagen’s I.D. family of models is
primed for an expansion, with the German manufacturer recently trademarking two
additional names with the World Intellectual Property Organization.
According to Auto Guide, VW has filed trademark
applications for both ‘I.D. Cruiser’ and ‘I.D. Freeler’ but at this early
stage, it is not known what type of vehicles will adopt these names. Given the
demand for crossovers and SUVs, it wouldn’t surprise us if at least one of the
new trademarks will be used by a new crossover - but that's just a guess.
This report comes roughly three months after it was
revealed that VW had also filed to trademark the ‘I.D. Streetmate’ moniker. As
it stands, the German automaker has introduced three I.D. concepts in the form
of the I.D. hatchback, I.D. Crozz SUV and the I.D. Buzz minivan. All three are
set to spawn all-electric production vehicles and will form an important part
of the brand’s post-dieselgate revival.
