A handful of spy shots have emerged out of
China reportedly showing the production-spec version of the VW ID. Roomzz
during testing. It is unclear what name the SUV will adopt for production but
some outlets speculate that it will be dubbed the ID.6. Either way, we know it
will be larger than the forthcoming ID.4 and can be expected to launch in 2021.
The ID. Roomzz concept that previewed the
electric SUV was 4,915 mm long, 1,890 mm wide,
1,760 mm tall, and rocked a 2,965 mm wheelbase.
Based on these spy shots from Autospy, as well as the similarities between the
ID.4 and the ID. Crozz concept that previewed it, we think it’s unlikely VW has
messed with the dimensions of the ID. Roomzz in readying the SUV for
production.
The black and white camouflage hides much
of the vehicle’s design but again, VW’s new ID models have stuck very true to
the concept’s that came before them. If this is the case with the ID.6, we can
expect LED headlights and twin LED light bars up front, immediately
distinguishing the front end from the smaller ID.3 and ID.4.
One particularly interesting aspect of the
ID. Roomzz were the sliding front and rear doors. While they looked cool on the
concept, the location of the door handles on this prototype confirms it will
have traditional doors. That’s a bit of a shame but hardly a surprise.
When presented, the concept had an 82 kWh
battery pack mounted in the floor and feeding two electric motors producing a
combined 302 hp and offering up to 450 km of range on the WLTP
cycle. It remains to be seen if these figures will go unchanged for the
production model.
