What's the story

German automaker Volkswagen has revealed its ID.X concept electric hatchback. It will not enter production but is expected to preview future models. As for the highlights, the one-off vehicle has a futuristic design and comes with neon accents inside and out. It draws power from a twin-motor electric powertrain and can sprint from 0-100km/h in just 5.3 seconds. Here are more details.

Exteriors

The car sports a gray paint job and swept-back headlights

The Volkswagen ID.X concept has a sloping roofline, a muscular bonnet, swept-back headlights, and gray paintwork complemented by neon accents. On the sides, it is flanked by blacked-out B-pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in low-profile tires. Wrap-around taillights are available on the rear end of the vehicle. In terms of dimensions, the car is 200kg lighter than the regular ID.3.

Interiors

The vehicle houses a 'floating' infotainment console

The Volkswagen ID.X concept has a gray-colored cabin with neon accents on the seats, dashboard, AC vents, as well as the floor. A multifunctional, 3-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheel is also available. It houses a large 'floating' infotainment console with support for the latest connectivity options and a fully digital driver's display. For safety, it is likely to have multiple airbags and a parking camera.

Performance

It runs on a 329hp all-electric powertrain

The Volkswagen ID.X concept draws power from two electric motors linked to an all-wheel-drive system. The powertrain borrows some parts from the ID.4 GTX and generates a maximum power of 329hp. It also allows the car to sprint from 0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds. Similar to the Golf R, the concept comes with a dedicated drift mode. A lowered suspension setup is also available.
