The next electric car could be Volkswagen's all-electric SUV Volkswagen has released teaser shots of its sleek looking ID6
The ID6 electric SUV, which will make its debut at the Shanghai Motor Show on April 21, will come in two models, the ID6 X and ID6 Cross VW has not revealed specs for the upcoming SUV, but it will use the same MEB platform as the ID4 EV 4 It will use the same MEB platform as the EV, with three rows of seats and seating for up to seven passengers
As first reported by Autoblog, profile shots show a fairly classic SUV shape with a sweeping roof and curvy lines, somewhat similar to that of the ID4 The Roomzz concept was unveiled at the 2019 Shanghai Motor Show
However, the bunch of flashy light bars that seem to make up the car's headlights do not appear to have been created from the concept stage Rather, the ID6 uses more traditional VW headlights, but with the VW logo lit and what would appear to be several light strips running from the front lights across the nose
Autoblog noted that documents leaked by Chinese regulators suggest that the ID6 will use a 201 hp electric motor and the all-wheel drive model will use a system that will kick out 302 hp In other words, increasing vehicle size without increasing the power of the electric system would provide a slower SUV However, the ID6 could be an eclectic vehicle for those who want capacity over performance
The kicker here is that it remains to be seen if the ID6 will be sold in the US and UK from the Chinese market that it seems to be targeting
Whether it will or not remains to be seen, but the desire for a spacious SUV is never small, so it I wouldn't be surprised to see the ID6 land in the US
