ID to Make US Debut at CES

Volkswagen will once again show off its latest technology at the Consumer Electronic Show in early January. The German automaker will take the opportunity to show the all electric ID, as well as Volkswagen User-ID. Both will be making their US debuts.

The Volkswagen ID is the first concept confirmed for the brand’s all electric platform, MEB. With flat batteries stored under the car and a motor mounted between the rear wheels, the revolutionary MEB platform is tasked with helping VW achieve its goal of selling 2 to 3 million electric cars by 2025.

Along with the ID concept, VW will be premiering User-ID a new infotainment system that the brand is calling a major advancement in infotainment.

“With the Volkswagen User-ID we’re taking things a major step further”, says Dr Volkmar Tanneberger, VW’s head of Electrical and Electronic Development. “The seamless integration of Partner Services combined with our own online services will create an entirely new user experience.”

Long the site of major electronic and infotainment debuts, CES has played host to Volkswagen’s Golf R Touch, and Budd-e in the past.

The show kicks off on January 5 in Las Vegas.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
