“The ID.4 is technically equipped with future-oriented features, has a low centre of gravity and super driving dynamics. It also has excellent acceleration. A car that is simply a lot of fun,” said Thomas Ulbrich, CEO of e-mobility for the Volkswagen brand.

The ID.3 and ID.4 will be followed by other sedans and SUVs as well as the electric Volkswagen Bus – the legendary Bulli.

All derivatives are based on the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB) – a platform made exclusively for electric vehicles. MEB-based electric vehicles are designed with long ranges, a fast-charging function, new digital functions and generous space.
