VW I.D. Crozz II Revealed, Looks Like the Best Volkswagen Crossover Ever

While it won't quite put the Jaguar I-Pace to shame, the Crozz II is nearly there. The concept has the kind of lines you want to stroke and a face without a single hint of nostalgia for the Beetle.

Production has already been confirmed for 2020 and Volkswagen says most of what we see here will be kept. The Crozz II concept measures 4,625mm long, 1,891mm wide and 1,609mm tall with a 2,773mm wheelbase. The wheel-to-body ratio is similar to that of a Scirocco, thanks to the low roof and 21-inch alloys.

At the front, there's a light bar connecting the two headlights to a light VW badge in the middle. Video teasers have already shown that this is a dynamic feature. The body cladding is quite discreet, even more so than on the Golf Alltrack.

The powertrain is just as we expected: twin-engined with 102 PS and 140 Nm at the front and another system giving 204 PS and 310 Nm to the rear wheels. 306 PS combined doesn't sound too bad, right?

The juice comes from an 83 kWh battery pack which lasts for up to 500 kilometers or 310 miles. Those numbers might be a little bit too ambitious, knowing how the unrealistic the test cycles are. But you could do about half a day's worth of intense driving. And when the battery runs out, Volkswagen says it can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes.

The interior is similar to the other I.D. concepts. The steering wheel tucks into the dashboard when you're not the one doing the driving. Of course, we know Volkswagen intends to make it fully autonomous, but it's not yet clear if that will be possible right from launch. The same platform will be shared by a host of cars, including a hatchback, microbus and possibly even a Scirocco-like electric coupe.
