There is a new addition to Volkswagen’s all-electric identification line. Meet the VW ID.6, the brand’s answer to full size all-terrain electric. And while the brand hasn’t completely ruled out bringing the U.S., for now it will remain a model only in China.
There will be two different models: ID.6 X and ID.6 Crozz. In 2019 it was previewed as the Roomzz concept (please no longer need “unnecessary”), but since then there have been some changes. VW’s joint venture with FAW will produce the Crozz, while its other joint venture with SAIC will handle the X. Both have the same mechanical properties, with the big changes being the smaller aesthetic details.

The ID.6 is, says VW, designed specifically for the Chinese consumer base, with convenience and affordability at the top of the priority list. Unlike the smaller ID.4, it is designed to accommodate seats from six to seven passengers, depending on the model. And it is based on VW Set of modular electrification tools Kit (MEB), which is essentially a single EV base designed to be used for tons of different vehicles. This makes it much easier to bring new cars to market. the less it breaks with different technologies, the better.
