Information about a compact crossover which could be called ID.3X are still rare. Nevertheless, you can already make the first assumptions!
An SUV derived from the ID. 3
The information comes to us from the Autocar website. He is the operations director of the Volkswagen brand, Thomas Schaefer who reported the news. The brand could really release a Electric SUV based on ID.3 and bring to market by 2026.
If you look at the current portfolio of electric models of the German brand, there is room for an additional model. A third corner is easily possible between ID.4 4.58 meters and ID.3 4.26 meters. According to Schaefer, this model should always be based on the advanced MEB electric platform. We will remind you that it is also the basis of all modern electric cars from Volkswagen.
Visually, the ID.3 X should differ from the standard model much more than the increased ground clearance and unpainted wheel arches. It is quite possible that the ideas of the concept of I.D. Life is even reused for this ID. 3 X. By the way, this model name is also speculative.
Why the name ID. 3X?
According to the site, volkswagen indeed plans to use the letter X to denote a crossover in the future. However, this will lead to some inconsistencies in the current nomenclature that still need to be clarified. So, according to this logic, the two models ID.4 and ID.5 should also have an X in their name. How Volkswagen will work on the Volkswagen ID.3 X will become clearer in the coming months. Indeed, the model should be released by 2026!
