Watch: VW Teases the ID Crozz 2.0

The I.D. Crozz, an all electric crossover concept based on VW’s MEB platform, is coming back for round two at the Frankfurt motor show next week.

First shown in Shanghai, earlier this year, the Frankfurt version, being teased in a new video from VW, will look more like a production model. According to VW, the front and rear ends, in particular, are closer to those that will be seen on the production model of the I.D. Crozz.

The video doesn’t show much, but the Crozz does come in a shiny new color (so far only the Buzz has been shown in anything but white) and the headlights have some Audi-tail-light-like tricks, illuminating from the center VW logo, through a thin strip of light, and eventually onto the headlights in stages.

Volkswagen hasn’t mentioned anything about performance for the Crozz 2.0, but the original concept featured two electric motors–front and rear–that combined for 302 hp and could get the crossover up to 60 mph in just 6 seconds, according to VW’s estimates. With an 83kWh battery, the Crozz was also able to travel more than 310 miles on a charge.

This isn’t the first time that the Volkswagen Group has pulled a move like this, with Audi releasing two concept versions of the Q8 at different auto shows, the second allegedly more production-like than the first.

The I.D. Crozz is expected to be one of VW’s first electric cars to make it to market and will likely be America’s first. It is expected to reach showrooms after 2020.

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...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
