Continuing a frenzy of all-new German car reveals at 2025 IAA Munich, the VW ID. CROSS concept has been rolled out on an all-new MEB Entry platform shared with the ID. Polo.
Closer in size to the T-Roc than the T-Cross, the ID. CROSS measures 4161mm long, 1839mm wide and 1588mm tall, with a 450-litre boot and 25-litre front boot.
A range of 420km (WLTP) is on offer but the battery capacity and chemistry type is yet to be revealed. Powertrain details were divulged, however, with a 152kW front electric motor. Top speed is limited to 175km/h.
Stylistically, a simple aesthetic with a new corporate face is adopted, featuring a lightbar, illuminated VW logo and ‘eyebrow’ LED lights. Bodyside sculpting and textured wheel arches give the SUV a premium feel, as well as the three rectangular strakes on the otherwise blacked out D-pillar.
It’s the interior where the real magic is, with a minimalist and inviting ambience. Light tones and fabric have been cleverly used, with fabric lining the doorsills, lower dash and seats. A floating console with dual phone chargers sits above a configurable storage compartment with cupholders.
Infotainment comes courtesy of a 13-inch touch-screen, with an 11-inch instrument panel in front of the driver.
Although this is just a concept at this stage, a production model inspired by this layout and design is scheduled for release in the latter half of 2026.
