ID. Cross Pricing and Features Revealed

Following the recent ‘Covered Drive’ event near Amsterdam, Volkswagen has provided initial details about the ID. Cross, an SUV variant of the ID. family. In contrast to the ID. Polo, which starts at around €25,000, the ID. Cross will be available from approximately €28,000, likely priced at €27,990.

While specific equipment details remain undisclosed, Volkswagen highlights that the ID. Cross combines compact dimensions with modern technologies, assist systems, and high-quality craftsmanship, making it an attractive option for customers.

In terms of drivetrain options, the ID. Cross will offer three power outputs: 85 kW, 99 kW, and 155 kW. The base model will feature a 37 kWh battery matched with the 85 kW motor. Charging capabilities include DC charging at up to 90 kW, allowing a charging session from 10 to 80 percent in about 27 minutes. AC charging at 11 kW will take nearly four hours. The preliminary range is still unconfirmed, but expectations suggest it might be slightly less than 300 kilometers due to the SUV’s higher air resistance.

The 99 kW powertrain will also pair with the 37 kWh battery and offer similar charging performance, providing better driving dynamics. The top 155 kW variant will be the only option for the larger 52 kWh NMC battery at launch. Currently, there is no mention of a sporty variant like the ID. Polo GTI for the ID. Cross, indicating it may appear later or not at all.

Volkswagen aims to position the ID. Cross as a practical alternative to the T-Cross, appealing to customers desiring affordable and high-quality electromobility. With a spacious boot capacity of 475 liters, the 4.15-meter long SUV also features a 22-liter frunk for added convenience, capable of storing items like charging cables.

The design of the ID. Cross will avoid excessive experimentation, adhering to Volkswagen’s ‘Pure Positive’ design language characterized by clear lines and balanced proportions. The interior has been refined based on feedback from earlier models, with a focus on improved materials and finishes. Touch-sensitive controls have been replaced with more intuitive buttons and large-format displays, enhancing the overall quality of the vehicle’s interior.

As further information on the ID. Cross becomes available, it promises to deliver a blend of practicality, contemporary technology, and spacious design, aimed at a customer base seeking reliable and efficient electric mobility options.
