It’s got a weird name, but it’s actually pretty darn sensible.
Crossovers are hot, and will likely continue to be. Electric vehicles are coming up, too. Makes sense to put the two together, right?
Debuting at the Shanghai Motor Show, the ID Crozz is Volkswagen’s third ID concept, following the ID at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, and the ID Buzz at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. All three are built on the same modular electric platform, MEB, that will underpin Volkswagen’s future production EVs.
Since the platforms are the same, the specs are pretty close, too. Electric motors on each axle confer both all-wheel drive and a healthy output of 302 horsepower. It’ll get up to 112 mph, which is probably more than most people need.
Its battery provides an all-electric range of approximately 311 miles by Euro NEDC standards — in the US, that number would be a bit lower. It can charge pretty quickly, as well, thanks to its ability to plug into a 150-kW DC charger.
