New electric vehicles on the way from Volkswagen

Volkswagen will be launching a new range of avant-garde electric vehicles in the near future — and not a minute too soon for the German giant which is still struggling as a result of its diesel emissions scandal.

This month, Volkswagen is providing a first look at a new important frontrunner of electric mobility in the world premiere of a crossover concept vehicle at Auto Shanghai 2017. The concept car is said to be the brand’s first electrically powered crossover utility vehicle (CUV) — a four-door coupé and sport utility vehicle (SUV) in one.

After the premieres of the I.D. (Paris, 2016) and I.D. BUZZ (Detroit, 2017), this concept car follows as the third progressive member of the I.D. family — a new generation of zero emission vehicles with a long range and a charismatic electric mobility design.

Volkswagen has set the clearly defined goal of advancing electric drive vehicles from the status of a start-up niche to large-scale production models by the middle of the next decade in a worldwide product offensive.

The concept car that is now making its debut in Shanghai illustrates just how multi-faceted the range of these future Volkswagen electric models will be in the year 2020.
