The I.D. VIZZION concept car is the fourth member of the Volkswagen I.D. Family. VW says the premium class saloon is ‘showing the direction Volkswagen is taking in the technology and design of its future electric models’. The brand is planning twenty all-electric vehicles by 2025.

The ‘digital chauffeur’ with its many assistance systems assumes control of the vehicle – without a steering wheel or visible controls. The concept car drives, steers and navigates autonomously in traffic, enabling passengers to ‘freely structure their time during the drive’. A virtual host, with which passengers communicate via voice and gesture control, knows the personal preferences of the vehicle guests – thanks to ‘complete embedding into the digital eco-system’ – and it adapts to each of them individually.

The system power of the 5.11 metre long I.D. VIZZION is 225 kW. Its top speed is 180 km/h (111 mph). The 111 kWh lithium-ion batteries enable a driving range of up to 665 kilometres (413 miles) when braking regeneration is factored in. Two electric motors drive all four wheels of the saloon.

Starting in 2020, the I.D. will launch as an electric car in the compact class; this will be followed, at short intervals, by a new electric SUV – the I.D. CROZZ – and the I.D. BUZZ which is described as a spacious saloon.
