The countdown has begun. Starting in 2020 Volkswagen will be launching, in quick succession, newly developed electric vehicles with long driving ranges and visionary design: The I.D. Family. Three I.D. models have already been presented as concept cars - the compact I.D.; a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) model, the I.D. Crozz; and a van/multi-purpose vehicle, the I.D. Buzz.
It drives autonomously and is operated by voice and gesture control. Thanks to artificial intelligence, it is capable of learning. It is a fascinating Volkswagen of tomorrow, which will be opening a portal to the future in Geneva.
With the new I.D. Vizzion, the Volkswagen brand has given a glimpse of the individual mobility of the future. The full electric sedan will be the future top model of the I.D. family and will reach the roads by 2022 at the latest.
In addition, it is prepared for fully autonomous driving. The I.D. Vizzion is part of Volkswagen's major product and technology offensive. By 2025, the brand intends to sell at least one million electric cars per year and to become the market leader in e-mobility.
The I.D. Vizzion is based on the newly developed Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) and underscores the technological performance capabilities of this architecture. From the outside, it is as large as a Passat, but it offers as much space in the interior as a Phaeton. The interior has the shape and materials of a lounge. In addition, the radical simplification of operation makes for effortless mobility. The pure electric range of the model is up to 650km.
No other brand is tackling e-mobility as uncompromisingly as Volkswagen. With the MEB, Volkswagen has developed a powerful tool that covers the entire range of individual mobility. From compact cars to SUVs and large luxury limousines, everything is possible. By 2025, the Volkswagen Group will start production of more than 15 full-electric models on the basis of the MEB. The first models are to be launched in 2020.
