VW has debuted the sixth ID concept at the Shanghai
Auto Show; the ID Roomzz is the biggest member of the EV family, adopting a
three-row SUV bodystyle and a cleverly arranged interior. The production version of the VW
ID Roomzz, which has already been confirmed for 2021, will be positioned above
the ID Crozz in the range and offer more interior space than a Touareg thanks
to its superior packaging.
It will be based on a bigger version of VW’s MEB
platform, with the concept featuring a 2,965 mm long wheelbase
and sliding doors.
The powertrain combines two electric motors for a
system output of 302 hp, enabling the ID Roomzz to hit 100 km/h from a standstill in 6.6 seconds. Top speed is set at 180 km/h.
The battery pack comes with a capacity of 82kWh and
is mounted unsurprisingly under the floor, giving the biggest ID model a
driving range of up to 450 km on the stricter WLTP cycle.
Compatibility with 150kW DC fast charging also allows the ID Roomzz to fill its
battery up to 80 percent in around 30 minutes.
The new ID Roomzz’s interior comes with plenty of
seating configurations, offering more flexibility and a lounge-like feel when
the Level 4 autonomous driving function is enabled. The cockpit is fully
digital and covered in glass, with the steering wheel also featuring a fully
digital face and the ability to retract when in autonomous mode.
