Volkswagen is known for its simplicity in design. During the 2016 Paris Motor Show, the German car brand unveiled their most recent concept for a futuristic car called I.D., which is pegged for release in 2020. Though it is still a concept, people are still interested with the newest car.
What Is New With Volkswagen's I.D.?
Per Engadget, Volkswagen's I.D. will be the "ambassador" for the electric cars that the company wants to manufacture in the future.
Volkswagen I.D. will have an auto-pilot mode, better known as I.D. pilot mode. Although it is not coming until 2025, this feature will set the tone for other futuristic cars as well.
Under the hood, the I.D's should have a 125kW motor that can run for 400-600 km/s with a single charge of battery. Should Volkswagen live up to their promises, their first purely-electric car will pack quite remarkable features.
The Public Relations department of the German brand dubbed I.D. as "the interactive center of a mobile lounge, or a supremely versatile Open Space," referring to the car's interior.
Volkswagen Teases Their New Modular Electric Drive Kit
Another part of the concept is Volkswagen's new Modular Electric Drive Kit (MED) architecture.
MED is for electric powered cars only unlike the older models of the brand. The new platform is designed to create a safe, comfortable and spacious ambiance while maximizing the driving capacity of the car. Addition to the design is the floor-iterated flat battery pack and a long wheelbase.
After the diesel issue Volkswagen faced, executives are hoping that the latest concept, I.D., it unveiled to the automotive world will help boost its sales and regain their glory. Truly, I.D.'s concept is exceptional not only due to its design, but also because of being environment-friendly.
