Volkswagen Needs To Make The 550-HP Electric ID.X A Reality

Volkswagen has been offering electric cars in America since the launch of the ID.4 electric SUV back in 2020 and, while its EV lineup is due an ID.Buzz-shaped shakeup soon, it’s not the most exciting battery-powered range out there. All that would change, however, if the German company decided to make this, the ID.X.

The show car is a bit like an R version of the ID.7 sedan, which will go on sale in the U.S. next year, and it looks slick. To turn the ID.7 into the ID.X, VW made some styling tweaks to the exterior, added a few aerodynamic upgrades and gave the car an extra motor on the front axle.

Volkswagen has also lowered the ID.X by 60mm and stiffened the suspension, which the company says should help with handling. Finally, the car has been treated to a new set of 20-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. Each of those wheels is now surrounded by contrasting black flared fenders, which complete the car’s race-ready look.
