VW ID.Cross Unmasked Spy Shots: Entry-Level SUV Debuting in 2026 to Rival BYD?
Recently, unmasked spy shots of the Volkswagen ID.Cross mass-production version were exposed.
Specifically, this new car utilizes the MEB Entry platform. Positioned as a pure electric small SUV, Volkswagen plans to release it in 2026. Furthermore, the market launch will likely occur in the Autumn of 2026, with a starting price of approximately 27,000 Euros (about 223,600 RMB).
Exterior Design: Compact and Crossover
Although these are “unmasked” spy shots, stickers still conceal the new car’s headlights. However, the mass-production model basically continues the design of the concept car.
- Front Profile: We expect the front to feature a continuous light strip and an illuminated LOGO. Certainly, the headlights on both sides will be smaller than the camouflage stickers suggest. ** notably**, a decorative panel replaces the grille behind the LOGO, while the fog light areas on both sides offer daytime running light designs.
- Side Profile: Regarding the side of the body, the new car adopts a floating roof style. Overall, the dimensions remain relatively compact. In addition, it possesses large-sized rims and traditional door handles.
- Rear Profile: Similarly, engineers camouflaged the taillights at the rear. We can see that the camouflage stickers have already curled up at the edges, but the overall look remains a continuous design. Moreover, the rear bumper reinforces the crossover attributes.
Interior and Performance
Inside the cabin, we can see that the car features a floating instrument screen and a floating square center control screen. This layout remains similar to the concept car’s design.
Technically, the new car will base its power on the MEB Entry platform, equipped with a front-mounted electric motor.
- Power: The motor delivers a maximum power of 208 horsepower.
- Speed: It achieves a top speed of 175 km/h.
- Range: Under WLTP conditions, the range reaches 420 kilometers.
