Auto Expo 2020: Volkswagen shows ID.Crozz electric SUV

KUALA LUMPUR: Volkswagen has hinted at the technology and design of its upcoming ID.4, the brand’s second model in the ID electric line-up by showing the concept version of the ID.Crozz electric SUV at Auto Expo 2020. As the name suggests, it’s a cross between coupe and SUV.

Talking about the styling, the SUV-coupe gets connected front headlamps, muscular bonnet with edgy contours, a glossy back roof that’s in contrast with the body colour it wears. The VW logo is illuminated just like in the case of the ID.3 hatch. Other components of the concept are similar to the ones seen on the ID.3.

The sloping roofline gives it a coupe-like look that’s nicely done into the raked tailgate at the back. The rear section also gets illuminated VW logo along with connected taillights. Overall, the creases on the car look prominent and so does the wheel arches that add to its SUV-like appeal.

Inside the cabin, VW has blessed it with CleanAir system that’s responsible for providing clean air and a new voice assistant that’s good for opening and closing large swinging and sliding doors, B-pillars have been omitted. You get an autopilot system that can be operated via voice commands. The interiors are designed on a theme ‘Open Space’. According to the automaker, you can easily transport a cross bike in this vehicle.

Under the hood, powering the EV is the twin-motor setup with each motor positioned smartly on either axle. The concept also gets benefitted from the brand’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive technology. The setup is capable of producing a max power of 306 PS and a peak torque of 320 Nm. The top speed is rated at 180 Kmph. VW claimed that on a single charge, it can travel 500 Km. Plus, there is an ‘electric propshaft’ that can transfer power to the front or rear wheels based on the grip conditions.

It is expected that the German automaker will reveal the production-spec version of the ID.Crozz electric SUV later this year. Stay tuned with us for more related updates.
