Volkswagen teases electric car concept ahead of Detroit
Volkswagen is to reveal the second car in its I.D. family at the Detroit motor show next month.
Few details have been revealed but the carmaker has issued three teaser images of the vehicle, which it says brings two electric motors and all-wheel drive.
The latest concept follows in the footsteps of the I.D. at the Paris Motor Show in September.
“The concept vehicle forges links between the legendary origins of the Volkswagen brand and its electrifying future. Like the I.D., this concept is also based on the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB), and so it shows the potential and bandwidth of the MEB,” said the carmaker.
The new concept appears to be based on the original VW Microbus and will bring a multi-functional, flexible interior.
VW added the concept vehicle will also be able to drive fully autonomously in the future, helped by an electrically retractable steering wheel and the use of laser scanners, ultrasonic and radar sensors and cameras to monitor other road users and the surroundings.
