The first-generation Volkswagen ID. Cross is engineered on Volkswagen Group's dedicated front-wheel-drive MEB platform configuration designed for subcompact electric vehicles. Featuring a five-door crossover SUV body style, the model incorporates distinctive front and rear LED light signatures, short overhangs, and rugged protective trim. Power comes from an efficient front-mounted electric motor paired with lithium-ion battery packs engineered to balance cost, weight, and usable driving range. The cabin showcases a fully digital driver interface, a centrally positioned infotainment touchscreen, and standard active safety systems from the IQ.Drive suite.
