Volkswagen’s upcoming electrification onslaught features a vary of efficiency EVs. We simply noticed the ID. GTI idea in Munich, and we all know the ID. Buzz and ID.3 fashions will each get efficiency upgrades courtesy of VW’s new GTX badge.
However now VW goes all-in on efficiency with a devoted idea automobile aptly named the ID.X Efficiency. Primarily based on the ID.7 sedan, the ID.X Efficiency shares little or no in widespread visually with its pedestrian counterpart past a primary form.
The entrance finish encompasses a fierce makeover with a big black grille on the base of the bumper and matching vents at every nook. There’s additionally a carbon fiber diffuser and a GTI-esque purple trim that wraps the complete automobile. Chunky black plastic covers the wheel wells, which home a set of 20-inch sport alloys with particular racing rubber.
The again finish bears a large rear spoiler atop the trunk lid, with a beneficiant carbon fiber diffuser on the base of the bumper, and that very same purple piping from the entrance and sides of the automobile additionally extending to the rear. The complete automobile sits 2.4 inches (60 millimeters) decrease than the normal ID.7.
When it comes to efficiency, the ID.X idea makes use of the ever present MEB structure that underpins almost all trendy VW EVs, with two electrical motors giving it a complete output of 550 horsepower (411 kilowatts).
