Germany-based automobile giant Volkswagen introduced its concept car, which it called “ID.AERO”, at an event in China. ID.AERO is considered the preview version of the flagship car, which is expected to launch in 2023 and will be the company’s first fully electric sedan. So which is that flagship sedan that will be released in 2023? As you can imagine, it is the successor of the Passat.
ID.AERO, which has a very sporty and stylish appearance, was built on Volkswagen’s electric car platform called “MEB”. This platform hosts almost all the electric models of the company. From here, we can see how customizable and flexible the MEB will be. So how will the sedan that will replace the Passat look and what features will it have? Let’s all together ID. Let’s look at the details of AERO.
Introducing Volkswagen ID.AERO
When we look at the exterior design of Volkswagen ID.AERO, we encounter medium-hard lines. The thin headlight structure, which completely covers the hood of the car, is in perfect harmony with the additional lighting added to the lower grille. Door handles embedded in the body, which have become standard in electric cars with a dual-color appearance, are also among the design details of ID.AERO. At the back of the concept car, we see the lighting that completely covers the trunk lid. The round details in the lighting add a nice touch to the sedan.
Volkswagen chose to keep the ID.AERO’s interior design secret. However, it is known that this concept car is about 5 meters long and will come with 22-inch wheels. This is a clear indication that ID.AERO will have a very spacious and comfortable interior.
The engine features of the electric sedan introduced by Volkswagen in China have been kept secret for now. However, in the statements made, it was stated that the friction coefficient of ID.AERO is 0.23, and the estimated range of the vehicle will be around 620 kilometers according to WLTP standards.
According to the statements made by Volkswagen, a car based on the ID.AERO concept will go into production for the Chinese market in the second half of 2023. In the next period, the car will be available not only in China, but also all over the world. This is exactly why Volkswagen has not disclosed all the details of ID.AERO. The company is trying to fully fit the features of ID.AERO for clear explanations.
