The fully electric family SUV is available in two versions: the ID.6 CROZZ rolls off the assembly line in northern China and the ID.6 X in the south of the country.

VW ID.6 X and ID.6 Crozz 2021!

"With the new ID.6 we are preparing the basis for at least 2030 percent of our sales in China to be electric by 50," says Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand. “We are keeping the pace high and gradually expanding our range of MEB vehicles: By 2023, Volkswagen will have a total of eight ID. Bring models and thus also the MEB nationwide to China. With the economies of scale that we have achieved, we can offer the most modern technology at an affordable price - and thus further expand our electric offensive. "

Like the compact ID.3 and ID.4, the third member of the fully electric family is based on the modular electric drive kit (MEB). The ID.6 makes full use of the strengths of the MEB: It enables consistently high quality worldwide, meets just as high standards - and also leaves room to develop individual models specifically for certain markets or regions of the world. The ID.6 is specially tailored to the needs and wishes of Chinese customers in terms of space, functionality, design and especially user experience.

The ID.6 brings many innovations: The most spacious model of the ID. Family on a lot of space in the interior and sets design highlights in light and material. Available in four equipment variants, with a range of up to 588 km (China-NEDC) and 225 kW output as well as the IQ.Drive systems typical of the MEB, up to seven people are powerful, elegant and safe in the ID.6¹ on road.

The two batteries offered have a net battery energy content of 58 kWh or 77 kWh and allow a range of between 436 and 588 km (China-NEDC). The battery is located under the passenger cell, which guarantees a low center of gravity. The 4MOTION version of the electric machines has an output of 225 kW (305 PS) - enough for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 6,6 seconds and a top speed of 160 km / h.

The ID. The family is getting bigger: a long wheelbase and 30 centimeters longer offer plenty of space for passengers

The 4,88-meter-long ID.6 uses the architecture of the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB) from Volkswagen. This divides the space for people and technology in a completely new way and in favor of the passengers. With the help of 30 centimeters more length than the ID.4, the ID.6 accommodates a third row of seats. The equipment range of the ID.6 includes 19 to 21 inch rims, a longitudinally adjustable second row of seats and a large panoramic glass roof. An openable panoramic sliding roof can also be selected as an option.

ID. typical, contemporary operating concept

The E-SUV manages without physical buttons and switches. The operating concept is based on a display with a 12 inch diagonal and touch function - and on the natural voice control "Hello ID." The new ID. Light - a narrow band of light under the windshield - supports the driver in an intuitive way. There is also an optional augmented reality head-up display that merges some of the displays with reality - navigation arrows, for example, are projected onto the road precisely to the lane. The assistance systems from IQ.Drive make driving even more relaxed, this is especially true for the Travel Assist. The software and hardware of the ID.6 are designed in a completely new architecture, so the customer can get updates in the car after the purchase.

Volkswagen's ACCELERATE strategy: The future of mobility is electric

Volkswagen is resolutely tackling the future topics of digitization, new business models and autonomous driving. With the ID. Family, a new, independent product line, Volkswagen recently added to the brand's classic product portfolio. After the compact ID.3 and the SUV ID.4, the ID.6 follows as the third fully electric model. With the ID.6, Volkswagen will in future be represented in the rapidly growing global SUV segment.

The ID.6 is being built in the two plants in Anting and Foshang in China and its two versions are sold exclusively on the Chinese market. As part of the ACCELERATE brand strategy, Volkswagen is accelerating the electrification offensive on the way to becoming the world market leader for e-mobility. The basis for this is the presentation of a new MEB vehicle every year, with the aim of achieving large quantities and covering all segments. The brand is thus underlining its claim that at least 2030 percent of sales in Europe will be electric by 70; in North America and China at least 50 percent.
