On the eve of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Volkswagen presented the seventh concept car of the ID. Family - the ID. SPACE VIZZION.
This latest e-vehicle concept follows in the tyre tracks of the ID.1, ID. CROZZ1, ID. BUZZ1, ID. VIZZION1, ID. BUGGY1 and ID. ROOMZZ1 and like all the ID. models, the new ID. SPACE VIZZION will be fully electric.
Its design and form embody a fresh approach. The front section has airflow openings, enabling a drag coefficient of 0.24. The ID. SPACE VIZZION combines the aerodynamic qualities of a Gran Turismo with the generous interior space of an SUV.
The concept car is based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB). The 82 kWh gross battery capacity allows distances of up to 590 kilometres (WLTP) or 300 miles (EPA). With a system output of up to 250 kW (4MOTION), the ID. SPACE VIZZION accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds (5.0 seconds to 60 mph).
The interior – plenty of room for life on the road
Thanks to the compact dimensions of the electric drive and a battery integrated in the floor, the interior space provided is like that of a long wheelbase premium saloon than a mid-range model. The materials used in the interior are consistently made of sustainable materials such as the new AppleSkin – an artificial leather containing residual material from apple juice production. In addition, no chrome is used in the interior – it is replaced by a chrome-like paint finish.
With its fully digitalised cockpit, driving information is shown in an augmented reality (AR) head-up-display. Instead of the classic cockpit, there is a mini display containing only basic driving information. All entertainment, comfort, online functions and vehicle settings are on a 15.6-inch touchscreen which appears to hover in mid-air.
A concept car with a future
The ID. SPACE VIZZION provides a concrete outlook to the series production version which will be presented at the end of 2021.
World premiere coincides with exhibition opening
The ID. SPACE VIZZION was presented at the renowned Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The world premiere coincided with the opening of the permanent exhibition “Building an Electric Future”. Volkswagen is a partner of the museum and the exhibition shows facets of future vehicles – from design and prototypes to insights of the production. The LA Auto Show runs from 22 November to 1 December at the LA Convention Centre.
