VW ID.Aero electric sedan previewed in design sketches

Volkswagen is about to add a sedan to its range of ID-branded electric cars. The company published a pair of design sketches to preview a four-door model named ID.Aero that will share chassis components and several styling cues with existing models like the ID.4 crossover.

We've heard about Volkswagen's electric sedan before: the ID.Vizzion concept unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show hinted at what the car could look like, and our spies spotted a camouflaged pre-production prototype testing in late 2021. From a design perspective, much has changed since 2018: the ID.Aero seems to feature a more angular-looking front end with bigger headlights that fall in line with the design language that characterizes Volkswagen's current crop of electric cars. Out back, the Vizzion's light bar remains but it's taller and it doesn't stretch as far into the quarter panels. In many ways, the Aero looks closer to the 2019 Space Vizzion concept than to the 2018 design study.
