The era of electric mobility begins. At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS, 8 to 22 January) in Detroit, Volkswagen is presenting a new model of the I.D. family – a multi-functional vehicle. The concept vehicle forges links between the origins of the Volkswagen brand and its future.

Like the I.D., this concept is also based on the Modular Electric Drive Kit(MEB), and so it shows the potential and bandwidth of the MEB.

This I.D. concept vehicle will also be able to drive fully autonomously in the future. A light press on the Volkswagen logo, and the electrically retractable steering wheel disappears into the cockpit. While the driver relaxes, laser scanners, ultrasonic and radar sensors and cameras monitor other road users and the surroundings.
