The Volkswagen ID.6 is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Volkswagen in China from 2021.[1] It is based on the MEB platform, and part of the ID. series electric vehicle line-up. In China, the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture will produce and market the ID.6 Crozz, whereas SAIC-Volkswagen will build and market the ID.6 X with a slightly altered styling.[2][3] As of April 2022, it is the second largest vehicle of the Volkswagen ID. series, and the second largest built on the MEB platform.[4]

Overview

Volkswagen I.D. Roomzz

Pre-production

[edit]

The ID.6 is based on the Volkswagen I.D. Roomzz concept. This was first presented at the Shanghai Motor Show in April 2019. The concept is a family SUV, based on the MEB platform, with sliding doors at the front and rear with opposite opening. The concept car is powered by two electric motors placed on the axles, with a power of 75 kW (101 hp) at the front and 150 kW (200 hp) at the rear for a power cumulative of 225 kW (302 hp),[5] powered by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 82 kWh (300 MJ) offering a maximum autonomy of 450 km (280 mi).

Production version

[edit]

The ID.6 was revealed on 17 April 2021 for the Chinese market. Two versions with different front and rear fascia styling is announced, which are the ID.6 Crozz produced by FAW-VW and the ID.6 X produced by SAIC-VW. The ID.6 is built on the VW Group MEB platform shared with the Volkswagen ID.4, Škoda Enyaq iV as well as the Audi Q4 e-tron.[6] To accommodate the third row, VW has stretched the ID.6 to 4,876 mm (192.0 in), making it nearly 300 mm (11.8 in) longer than the ID.4, with a 2,965 mm (116.7 in) wheelbase supporting its length.[7]

The base version is equipped with a single electric motor powering the rear wheels capable of 177 hp (179 PS; 132 kW), with a claimed 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) figure of 9.3 seconds or an option of 201 hp (204 PS; 150 kW) with a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) figure of 9.1 seconds. The dual-motor model is capable of 302 hp (306 PS; 225 kW) and 310 N⋅m (31.6 kg⋅m; 229 lb⋅ft) of torque, with 6.6 seconds needed to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) with a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). VW will sell the ID.6 in China with a choice between six or seven seats while alloy wheel sizes will range from 19 to 21 inches.[8]
