VW is continuing its e-offensive. After the ID.3, the ID.4 will be the first fully electric SUV to hit the market this year.

The ID.4 urban off-road vehicle with a range of up to 500 kilometers "will come onto the market as a carbon-neutral vehicle," said Ralf Brandstätter, the manager responsible for day-to-day business at the VW brand, on Tuesday.

"We will produce and sell the ID.4 in Europe, China and the USA." Like the Golf-like ID.3 built in Zwickau, the SUV, which initially traded as ID. Crozz, is based on the MEB platform, which is supposed to provide uniform technology for various models.

ID.4 initially with rear-wheel drive

As VW announced, the ID.4 should initially come onto the market with rear-wheel drive, before a variant with electric all-wheel drive will follow at a later date.

At the IAA auto show in September, some observers were surprised that Volkswagen wanted to take the next step in its electric strategy with an SUV. The cars are a top seller, but have been criticized for their space requirements and poor efficiency due to the higher construction.

Like the ID.3, the ID.4 is “a milestone” for the Wolfsburg car manufacturer on the way to making the brand completely CO2-neutral by 2050 against the background of the Paris climate protection goals. VW has set itself the goal of reducing the CO2 emissions of its fleet by a third by 2025. VW is currently investing a billion euros in the electrification of its model range.

33 billion euros by 2024

Volkswagen is strategically relying fully on electric drives and is investing around 33 billion euros in e-mobility by 2024. From 2022 on, the new ID. Buzz bus will also be part of it. However, there are complications when the ID.3 is due to launch in mid-2020.

There have recently been delays in the software configuration, and there have also been reports of problems during test drives. It therefore remains to be seen whether the planned start date will remain summer. (AG / dpa)
