Overview

  • The near‑production concept rides on the MEB Plus platform with a 155 kW front‑wheel‑drive motor.
  • Volkswagen quotes roughly 260 miles of WLTP range, with final battery details still to come.
  • The cabin emphasizes usability with rear seats that fold completely flat, a 450‑liter trunk and 25‑liter frunk, tactile physical controls, and warm 'Vanilla Chai' materials.
  • Light utility is supported by a towing capacity of up to 165 pounds, described as sufficient for carrying two e‑bikes.
  • A production reveal is planned for next summer, with reports indicating a target price in the low‑to‑mid $30,000s and positioning below the ID.4 in Europe.
