I.D. CROZZ II extends range of the I.D. Family ID. CROZZ II extends range of the ID. Family New zero emission SUV to arrive on market in 2020 e-campaign: ID. and ID. CROZZ launch in 2020, ID. BUZZ in 2022   Premiere at the IAA: Volkswagen presents the ID. CROZZ II Countdown underway for Volkswagen electric mobility campaign Wolfsburg / Frankfurt, September 2017. The countdown to a breakthrough in electric mobility has started. The year 2020 marks a turning point. Volkswagen is forging ahead into this new era with the development of a fresh generation of innovative electric vehicles – the avant-garde I.D. Family. Now more launch dates for the new Volkswagen zero-emission vehicles are being announced. It all begins in 2020, with the compact and visionary I.D. – a four-door car with a large boot lid. Now the time frame for the next member of the I.D. Family has also been confirmed: the I.D. CROZZ – an all-wheel drive, zero-emission SUV, which will also launch in 2020. As a surprise, Volkswagen is presenting an advanced and visually more striking version of this concept at the IAA in Frankfurt: the I.D. CROZZ II. This August in Pebble Beach, California, Volkswagen and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles also announced that the zero-emission van, the I.D. BUZZ – a reinterpretation of the legendary Bulli – will be launched in 2022. New all-electric architecture as common platform. All I.D. concept vehicles share the new all-electric architecture – developed as a common architecture – and the unique design DNA for electric mobility. Other shared characteristics include zero-emission driving ranges from 500 to 600 kilometres, a lounge-like spatial concept ('Open Space'), digitalisation of all displays and controls, and integration of an optional fully automated driving mode ('I.D. Pilot'). By 2025 one million I.D. models per year.

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.; an SUV model, the I.D. CROZZ; and a van/MPV, the I.D. BUZZ. Now, at the Geneva International Motor Show (8 to 18 March), Volkswagen is presenting the new automotive highlight of the I.D. Family: the I.D. VIZZION – a next-generation, avant-garde premium class saloon. It drives autonomously and is operated by voice and gesture control. Thanks to artificial intelligence, it is will be capable of learning. It is a fascinating Volkswagen of tomorrow, which will be opening a portal to the future in Geneva. Travel and space reinterpreted. The I.D. VIZZION transfers the charismatic design DNA of the I.D. models – the design of Volkswagen electric mobility – to the world of large saloons. The models achieve their status through a new, intelligent interpretation of travel and space. The mobile interior – the 'open space' – is thought out anew here, so that the time spent on short and long trips in daily living can be utilised more productively and flexibly. Choosing a car like the I.D. VIZZION is an expression of a deliberate decision by its users – regardless of whether it is used in a sharing arrangement or is owned outright. Real and virtual worlds become one. Interaction with the I.D. VIZZION is performed virtually via augmented reality (AR). Here, a vision of the year 2030 is being provided with respect to truly comprehensive connectivity. A world of mobility is coming in which nearly everything is conceivable and possible. The car's communications technology has advanced to become a host, a virtual assistant which is capable of learning and responds empathically. The I.D. VIZZION delivers one thing above all: more personal freedom.

The I.D. CROZZ is Volkswagen's first electrically powered crossover utility vehicle (CUV) – a four-door coupé and sports utility vehicle (SUV) in one. Following the headline-grabbing presentations of the I.D. (world premiere in Paris in 2016) and I.D. BUZZ (world premiere in Detroit in 2017), the I.D. CROZZ now follows as the third exciting version of the I.D. family. It is, once again, a zero-emissions vehicle with a very long range, charismatic electric mobility design and an interior concept that is completely new. The sportily designed I.D. CROZZ now underlines, as a concrete example of what might be seen in 2020, just how diverse the electrifying spectrum of future Volkswagen electric models is going to be. All-wheel drive and a range of 500 kilometres (NEDC). I.D. CROZZ – the name says it all. I.D. stands above all for 'Identity' and 'Iconic Design', while CROZZ relates to the new CUV category. A sporty, interactively designed zero-emission all-rounder – with electric all-wheel drive that is equally impressive in the urban jungle as it is on the rough terrain of an adventurous and active life. The I.D. CROZZ delivers power of 225 kW, has a top speed of 180 km/h and can cover up to 500 kilometres (NEDC) on one battery charge. At charging points with power output of 150 kW (DC) the high-performance battery can be 80% recharged by the fast-charging system within 30 minutes. The MEB is redefining space. The I.D. CROZZ is more compact and has a lower roofline than Volkswagen's latest mainstream SUV, the New Tiguan L (China) / Tiguan Allspace (Europe). And yet the CUV provides just as much space. The key to this in the car's design: like the I.D. and I.D. BUZZ, the I.D. CROZZ is also based on the newly conceived Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB). The MEB models' axle and drive system modules are spread some distance apart; stretched out between them is a long wheelbase.

The I.D. CROZZ illustrates this perfectly: the drive system components – two motors, two gearboxes, the high-voltage battery and the electronics that link everything together – are incorporated into the car's overall package. This gives the designers and engineers some completely new free spaces to work with. All drivers and guests on board the I.D. fleet will get to enjoy these from 2020 onwards. 225 kW of system power. The lithium ion battery holds 83 kWh of power and is housed in the CUV's floor. This creates space, lowers the centre of gravity to sports car levels and ensures ideal weight distribution. The same goes for the two electric motors. They develop system power of 225 kW and directly drive their respective axles. By default the rear axle provides forward propulsion. As soon as driving dynamics make it necessary, an 'electric propshaft' distributes the power between front and rear axle in fractions of a second. The I.D. CROZZ can also be permanently driven with all-wheel drive, for instance off-road or in the snow. At the back the work is done by a compact 150 kW motor, while at the front it is a 75 kW coaxial drive system. Ideal weight distribution. As a crucial link, the power electronics control the flow of high-voltage power between the motors and the battery. The power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC). The on-board electronics are meanwhile supplied with 12 volts via a DC/DC converter. The battery being centrally integrated within the CUV and having the two drive system units at the front and rear produces, as already indicated, an ideal distribution of weight between both axles. The ratio is 48% (front) to 52% (rear). In this way the I.D. CROZZ demonstrates handling characteristics on a par with a Golf GTI.

The I.D. CROZZ is 4,625 mm long. Spread between the front and rear section is a long wheelbase of 2,773 mm. The width of the concept car is 1,891 mm and its height is 1,609 mm. The concept car's dimensions – and thus the space it offers – are most closely comparable with those of the Chinese New Tiguan L and its European counterpart, the Tiguan Allspace. The two almost identically built SUVs are seen as providing enormous amounts of space. Just like the CUV. The I.D. CROZZ is, however, 77 mm shorter in length, 47 mm lower in height and 56 mm wider than the two Tiguan models. Revolution. With the countdown to the launch of the new zero-emissions fleet in 2020, Volkswagen is heralding in a new era in more than just an engineering sense. Along with his team, Volkswagen Head Designer Klaus Bischoff is developing in parallel with this a new, expressive and unique DNA of electric mobility. The I.D. CROZZ now being showcased in Shanghai shows how diverse the spectrum of future variants is going to be. Design of the 21st century. Klaus Bischoff: "It is a design that shows great clarity and remains absolutely self-explanatory; a design that unifies form and function in breath-taking fashion; a design that naturally integrates our century's digitalised world." In this design, light becomes an interactive means of communication. It 'interacts' with passers-by and the driver. Sensors, through which the I.D. CROZZ is able to 'see' its surroundings and which actually make fully automatic driving possible in the first place, thus coherently become a part of those forms that systematically follow function. "All elements combine into a design style with DNA that unambiguously reflects the fact that the I.D. CROZZ is a zero-emissions vehicle of a new generation", explains Klaus Bischoff. Stand-alone. The concept car's design is unmistakably linked to the two other concept cars based on the MEB (I.D. and I.D. BUZZ) and yet at the same time has a unique charisma of its own.

The design of the I.D. VIZZION is characterised by a reduction of superfluous elements. Together with his team, Klaus Bischoff, Volkswagen Head of Design, created the new image of a large zero-emission vehicle. Without any example to follow, the I.D. VIZZION transports the future to the present. The design appeals with a fascinating perfection of homogeneous surfaces. Even the windows are integrated flush into this automotive sculpture of a new era. They can be darkened electrically within 200 milliseconds. This makes the 'greenhouse' visually merge more with the shoulder and side sections of the body. The future made visible. The coupé-like roofline of the I.D. VIZZION is very long; with the C-pillars it extends back behind the wheel arches of the rear body. This alone makes it clear that the I.D. VIZZION offers maximum space, exactly like the three other models of the family: the I.D., I.D. CROZZ and I.D. BUZZ. An interior that becomes an open space (see chapter "Open space of the digital world"). The roof section stretches over a silhouette which – despite its long length and the open space it encloses – is also reminiscent of the dynamism of a sports car. This has resulted in a new definition of a grand touring car, which visualises the future and the great potential of electric mobility. The All-New Electric Architecture opens up a whole new range of possibilities here. For the design team, this architecture was the template for putting a car body on wheels that has a visionary design and an extreme presence. The side sections are eye-catching with their seamlessly designed surfaces. This monolithic design flows around the powerfully designed wings, elegant roofline, distinctively short overhangs and strong shoulder sections. The I.D. VIZZION leaves the look of traditional saloons in the past and points the way to the future with its power and aesthetic. Rear-hinged rear doors.
