Overview

• Revealed at IAA Munich on September 7, the near‑production ID. Cross will get a full production debut next summer before European sales start in 2026.
• Built on MEB+, the compact SUV uses a single front motor rated at 155 kW (about 208 hp) with a WLTP range target of roughly 420 km and a 175 km/h top speed.
• T‑Cross sized packaging seats five and prioritizes practicality with a 450‑liter boot, a 25‑liter frunk, flat‑folding seats, and up to 1,200 kg braked towing with a 75 kg drawbar load.
• VW introduces a friendlier ‘Pure Positive’ design and a more conventional cabin that restores physical buttons and adds a ‘calm status’ display mode.
• Estimated pricing sits around €28,000–€30,000 (about £25,000), the rollout is Europe‑focused with no U.S. commitment, and the model joins a broader small‑EV offensive alongside the ID. Polo, Cupra Raval and Škoda Epiq.
