VW’s Electric ID.6 Will Debut On April 17th

Volkswagen has teased the all-new ID.6, ahead of its debut on April 17th.

Designed to “meet the needs of Chinese users,” the electric crossover will be offered in two different forms including the ID.6 X from SAIC-Volkswagen and the ID.6 CROZZ from FAW-Volkswagen.

The company didn’t say much about them, but both will ride on the MEB platform and feature three rows of seating. Volkswagen also said customers can expect soft lines and sharp edges that result in a “modern aesthetic” with an “elegant style.”

While that isn’t much to go on, images of the crossover surfaced earlier this year and they showed the model will follow in the footsteps of the ID.4. That being said, the ID.6 will feature a unique front fascia and comically large headlights.

The biggest differences are noticeable from the sides as the ID.6 will be 11.5 inches (292 mm) longer than the ID.4 and feature a wheelbase that has been stretched by 7.8 inches (198 mm). Besides being longer, the crossover will have a flatter beltline and an expanded greenhouse with new rear quarter glass. The model also sports plastic body cladding, a gently sloping roof and flush-mounted door handles.

Power will be provided by an electric motor that produces 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS). However, it could eventually be joined by an all-wheel drive variant with two electric motors that produce a combined output of 302 hp (225 kW / 306 PS). Additional specifications remain unconfirmed, but the ID.4 has an 82 kWh battery pack which enables the crossover to have an EPA-estimated range of 250 miles (402 km).
