The new I.D. Vizzion concept car is the fourth member of the Volkswagen I.D. Family. With its innovative technology, fully-automated operating concept and elegant form, the premium class saloon is showing the direction Volkswagen is taking in the technology and design of its future electric models.
For the 'driver' and passengers, this signifies a new dimension of safety and comfort. The concept car drives, steers and navigates autonomously in traffic, enabling passengers to freely structure their time during the drive.
A virtual host, with which passengers communicate via voice and gesture control, knows the personal preferences of the vehicle guests - thanks to complete embedding into the digital eco-system - and it adapts to each of them individually.
The system power of the 5.11m-long I.D. Vizzion is 225kW. Its top speed is 180km/h. The 111 kWh lithium-ion batteries enable a driving range of up to 665km when braking regeneration is factored in. Based on its intelligent management, the two electric motors cooperate with maximum efficiency and drive all four wheels of the saloon.
The I.D. Vizzion clearly demonstrates the great potential of the all-electric architecture from Volkswagen. It is the technological backbone of future Volkswagen electric vehicles, and it enables long driving ranges and maximum space utilisation at optimal costs. By 2025, the brand plans to introduce more than 20 electric vehicle models. Starting in 2020, the I.D. will launch as an electric car in the compact class. This will be followed, at short intervals, by a new electric sport utility vehicle - the I.D. Crozz - and the I.D. Buzz.
The Volkswagen I.D. Vizzion will premiere at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show next month.
