Thomas Schäfer: “Models like the Golf, Passat and Tiguan became global successes because they offered superiority when it came to technological excellence, quality, intuitive operation and economic use of space – all of which emerged by putting the customer first. These are our core virtues. They are True Volkswagen. We are now putting these strengths back at the centre of everything we do to create a strong and successful future for Volkswagen and future vehicles like the ID. Cross.” Optimum use of space. The new ID. Cross is 4,153 mm long, 1,581 mm tall and 1,794 mm wide. The wheelbase spans 2,601 mm between the 17- to 20-inch wheels. Based on the MEB+ (latest stage in the evolution of the modular electric drive matrix), the ID. Cross is therefore only slightly larger than its combustion-powered counterpart: the T-Cross (based on the MQB). And yet, the new ID. Cross offers even more space for five passengers and their luggage.
