We're still a couple of years away from experiencing
the full effect of VW's all-electric offensive upon the automotive landscape,
which will definitely include the I.D Cross. In case you can't tell from its
name, it's an all-electric crossover, previewed last year at the Shanghai Auto
Show by the I.D Crozz Concept.
The I.D Crozz was powered by a pair of electric
motors, together offering 302 HP. Add the 83 kWh battery to the mix
and according to VW, you would be doing 100 km/h in just under 6
seconds, with a total range of 311 miles (500 km).
The production version, which has already been
penciled in as the German automaker's second I.D model following next year's
5-door hatchback, probably won't be fully autonomous, unlike the concept, which
had pop-up laser scanners embedded in the glass roof.
If it ends up looking as sporty as this
render from Kleber Silva, we reckon most people will be on-board. While the
rear end design could use some work, the rest of the car looks pretty well
proportioned, if you like this type of body style that is.
