Volkswagen's Electric SUV, the ID. Cross Concept, is set to make its debut in the summer of 2026, according to the latest reports. Based on the MEB+ platform, the ID. Cross features front-wheel drive and is equipped with an electric motor with integrated power electronics located at the front axle.

The high-voltage battery for the ID. Cross is positioned in the sandwich floor of the MEB+ underbody, providing a solid foundation for the vehicle. The WLTP range for the ID. Cross is expected to reach up to 420 kilometers, making it a strong contender in the electric SUV market.

The ID. Cross is expected to have a top speed of 175 km/h, and it will come with a towing capacity of 1,200 kilograms (braked). The production car will also include the advanced driver assistance package "Travel Assist".

Interestingly, the ID. Cross is expected to be priced around 2,000 to 3,000 euros higher than the ID. Polo, which is scheduled to debut in the first half of 2026, followed by the ID. Polo GTI.

In a significant development, the production version of the VW ID. Cross will benefit from a new software generation due to a joint venture with Rivian. This collaboration is expected to enhance the performance and capabilities of the ID. Cross, making it an even more attractive option for consumers in the electric vehicle market.

It's important to note that at this time, there are no specific details available about the production version of the "ID. Cross" from Volkswagen. However, the company has several models in the ID-series, such as the ID.4 and ID.5, that are already on the market or in development. If you are searching for information about a specific model that may be referred to as the "ID. Cross", it could be a concept vehicle or another named model. In such a case, it would be helpful to have more details or consult a specific source to obtain the accurate information.
