The ID. Cross will be launched on the European market from autumn 2026. The model will be available from a starting price of around 28,000 euros. The five-seater is aimed at customers who want to enjoy first-class electric mobility that is suitable for everyday use and affordable. The ID. Cross can be currently seen in Amsterdam in a striking camouflage wrap.

The exterior of the ID. Cross is characterised by the new Pure Positive Volkswagen design language with clear lines, balanced proportions and a high-quality appearance. At the same time, the ID. Cross comes across with a deliberately low-key yet confident look. The interior also conveys a sense of calm and clarity, while the materials and workmanship are oriented towards higher vehicle classes. Five seats, efficient use of space and intuitive functions and buttons as well as large-format displays round off the high-quality overall impression.

As regards the drive system, the ID. Cross is flexibly positioned. The power levels 85 kW, 99 kW and 155 kW are offered, combined with two battery sizes of 37 kWh and 52 kWh (net). This means that the model covers different usage profiles – from predominantly urban driving to regular journeys outside towns and cities. Modern assist systems support the driver and contribute to a high level of comfort. The ID. Cross is also future-proof when it comes to charging, enabling DC quick charging with up to 90 kW – with the larger battery up to 105 kW.

With its combination of compact dimensions, modern technologies and assist systems, high workmanship quality, plenty of space and an entry-level price of around 28,000 euros, the new ID. Cross offers an attractive price-performance ratio.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ latest research reveals that Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) helped almost half (45%) of the UK’s van drivers to avoid one or more accidents in 2025.1

The survey found that drivers are measurably safer on the roads, with one in five (19%) avoiding multiple accidents in the last twelve months, thanks to modern safety assist technology.1

For the drivers who narrowly avoided an accident in 2025, survey respondents said that parking sensors proved to be the most effective technology, preventing accidents for 58% of respondents.1 This was followed by collision warning (40%), park assist (32%), and speed assistance (27%). Lane assist (23%), autonomous emergency braking (22%) and driver drowsiness monitoring (15%) were also shown to be useful technologies when it comes to keeping drivers safe on the road.1

With the UK’s van drivers spending, on average, 5.5 hours inside their vans on a typical working day, being able to depend on their vehicles is essential for long days behind the wheel.2 The survey also revealed that van drivers felt more confident and safe behind the wheel, knowing they are supported by ADAS technology, as three in four drivers (74%) report feeling safer on the roads as a result.1

To keep businesses on the road, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles offers a wide range of innovative driver assistance technology across its vehicle line-up. The new Transporter, for example, comes fitted with rear parking sensors as standard, as well as lane assist, driver alert system, and intelligent cruise control, and is also available with autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system and radar-camera fusion technology. Together, this saw the new Transporter receive a five-star rating from Euro NCAP.

Simon Jeffreys, Product Marketing Manager at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “The safety of van drivers and other road users is always a top priority at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. This data demonstrates that safety technology is significantly benefitting drivers in real-world scenarios, while supporting drivers to feel safer on the road. Our vehicles are equipped with a range of the latest safety assist technologies, many as standard, enabling drivers to get back to focusing on what really matters to their business.”

The successor to the ID.3 is in the starting blocks with a new name and will celebrate its world premiere as the ID.3 Neo in mid-April. Thanks to the latest software generation, the electric compact model comes with a host of new functions. These include, for example, the enhanced Travel Assist with traffic light detection and One Pedal Driving, where the vehicle recuperates until it comes to a standstill. The ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7 are already available to order as the first models equipped with this software, the above-mentioned functions and the new Innovision infotainment system. In addition, all new ID. models now have the option of supplying power to external devices – from electric grills to e-bikes – with an output of up to 3.6 kW directly from the high-voltage battery using the Vehicle-to-Load function.

Kai Grünitz, Member of the Volkswagen Board of Management responsible for Technical Development, says: “The new software generation brings more performance and an even better customer experience to the ID. models. The new Volkswagen electric models in the small and compact vehicle segments – ID. Polo, ID. Polo GTI, ID. Cross – will also soon be launched on the market with these new innovations, offering more flexibility in everyday life and for leisure activities.”

Software and hardware are designed to meet new or future regulatory conditions. These include the requirements of the European emissions standard Euro 7, the Californian standard ZEV3 (zero emission vehicle) and the EU directive GSR2 (General Safety Regulation 2), which is intended to further increase road traffic safety.

Additional services. The new ID. models also feature the new Innovision infotainment system. A new app store has also been integrated into the In-Car Shop of the new infotainment system, which allows functions and services to be activated or extended digitally, flexibly and on a vehicle-specific basis. As with a smartphone, popular apps from areas such as audio, video streaming, parking, charging and gaming are available for download here.

New option – digital vehicle key. A digital key is now also available as an option for all models. This enables convenient access to the vehicle using a mobile device (smartphone, smartwatch).The digital vehicle key supplements the classic vehicle key. Communication takes place wirelessly in a similar way to payment processes with a smartphone; a special app is not required. There is also a change in the operating concept. All future ID. models have buttons on the steering wheel that improve intuitive operation of the various functions.

More flexibility thanks to Vehicle-to-Load. With the new software generation, the Vehicle-to-Load function is also being introduced in the ID. models and thus the ability to power electrical devices directly from the vehicle battery. External devices such as an electric grill,coffee maker or even an e-bike can be powered or charged directly from the high-voltage battery with up to 3.6 kW. This is possible using a 230 V socket in the interior and – with a separate adapter – also via the mode 3 connection of the charging socket.

Entry-level models more efficient and with greater range. There are also new developments in the areas of engine and battery: the ID.4 and ID.5 Pure entry-level models are equipped with the APP 350, a new 140 kW (190 PS) drive system that offers increased torque and lowers fuel consumption compared with the previous APP 310 motors. This enables the range of the ID.4 to be increased by up to 40 km (WLTP), for example. In combination with a new lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) high-voltage battery (58 kWh net), this is an impressive package that is robust and very efficient.

The Volkswagen brand has reached another milestone in its electrification strategy – delivery of two million all-electric vehicles to customers. The two millionth vehicle is an ID.3, produced at the Volkswagen Zwickau plant. The anniversary ID.3 was handed over to Kirsten Vormbrock at the Transparent Factory in Dresden this week.

Volkswagen started its electromobility journey back in 2013 with the launch of the e-up!, and has been systematically expanding its all-electric portfolio ever since. The two million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) supplied therefore include not only models from the current ID. family, but also electric precursors such as the e-up! and the e-Golf. Volkswagen has now taken on a leading position in all-electric vehicles in Germany and throughout Europe, and is among the highest-volume providers. The Volkswagen brand is also one of the largest electric car manufacturers in the world.

Martin Sander, Volkswagen Board Member for Sales, Marketing and After Sales, said: “We laid the foundations for electromobility early on and are driving our transformation to an all-electric future with clear strategic priority. Our strong market position, particularly in Germany and Europe, confirms the attractiveness and competitiveness of our electric portfolio.”

ID.3, ID.4 and ID.7: the pillars of all-electric success

Three models are of primary significance to this milestone:

• ID.3 (approx. 628,000 vehicles delivered): The ID.3 was the first model based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB) and marked Volkswagen’s entry into the new era of electromobility. It was the first model in the ID. family in 2020 and made all-electric mobility accessible to a broad range of customers in the compact class for the first time. A further product upgrade of the ID.3 will soon be launched.
• ID.4 (approx. 901,000 vehicles delivered*): The ID.4 is a key growth driver for the brand and has played a major part in expanding Volkswagen’s presence on the global BEV markets. Apart from Germany and other European countries, the most important sales markets for the SUV model include China and the United States.
• ID.7 (approx. 132,000 vehicles delivered): Volkswagen expanded its portfolio in 2023 to include an all-electric saloon, followed by an estate (ID.7 Tourer) in the upper mid-range segment. The ID.7 represents the technological progress of the ID. family and demonstrates how Volkswagen is introducing electromobility to a new segment with long range and a high level of efficiency and comfort.

Increased accessibility to electromobility through the ID. Polo

The ID. Polo is the first of four new electric cars to be launched throughout 2026 in Volkswagen’s small car and compact segment. “These new models make electromobility accessible to even more customers”, said Board Member for Sales Martin Sander. “Our aim is to introduce attractive, affordable electric vehicles for everyday use into the high-volume small car segment and, in so doing, take the next growth steps in our transformation.”

Delivery to Transparent Factory – a customer experience

The delivery of the anniversary vehicle in Dresden highlights the close connection between brand experience and customer experience; now that production has been phased out in Dresden, the focus is more than ever on the visitor experience.

New attractions at the Transparent Factory include theme islands and a production demonstration, with the aim of providing as authentic a production experience as possible – even without actual series production.

Around 3,500 vehicles were handed over to customers at the Transparent Factory last year, more than 90 percent of which were all-electric or hybrid. This makes the Transparent Factory Volkswagen’s second-largest national delivery center, after Autostadt Wolfsburg. Brand loyalty is a focal point of the emotional handover process and comprehensive introduction to the new vehicle.

Test drives in Dresden of all ID. models make it easy for customers to try electromobility for themselves. The nearby vehicle plant in Zwickau plays a key role in Volkswagen’s BEV campaign as one of the main production sites for electromobility. Around 212,000 electric cars rolled off the production line here in 2025.
