The Volkswagen brand looks to the future and releases exclusive design sketches of the ID. AERO, the first fully electric limousine for the Chinese car market. At first glance, the new concept car impresses with its outstanding aerodynamics, elegant design and generous space. The digital world premiere of the pre-production studio will take place on Monday, June 27 at 14:00 (CEST).
The future production version of the ID. AERO sees Volkswagen expand its successful ID. family in the high-volume upper-middle class segment, and accelerate its electric offensive within the framework of the ACCELERATE strategy. Like all models of the ID. family, the elegant new limousine is based on Volkswagen’s Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB). Stylistically, it also follows the unmistakable design language of the ID. family. For example, the exterior design of the ID. AERO is fluid and precise. Particularly striking features of the pre-production study are the aerodynamic front and roof, which help reduce energy consumption and increase range.
The next world car for a new market segment. The production version of the ID. AERO is expected to go on sale in the Chinese car market in the second half of 2023. The corresponding production model for the North American and European market will be presented in 2023. The production of the serial version of the ID. AERO for the European and North American automobile market will start at the Volkswagen plant in Emden.
