Volkswagen
is embarking on its journey to the future at the Paris Motor Show
with the world premiere of the visionary I.D., a highly automated
electric car that will be able to cover a distance of 249 to 373
miles on a single battery charge. The production version of the
I.D. is due to be launched in 2020 at a price on a par with
comparably powerful and well-equipped Golf models. Volkswagen is
looking even further ahead with this concept car: in “I.D. Pilot”
mode, it is capable of fully automated driving, a technology that
should be ready for series production in 2025. Volkswagen has
also set itself the goal of selling a million electric cars a
year by 2025 and the production version of the I.D. will make a
decisive contribution towards this ramp-up of e-mobility.
Volkswagen has made electric mobility and fully automated driving
conspicuous with its innovative exterior design language and with
the interior, too: the conventional driving environment has been
transformed into the interactive center of a mobile lounge, or a
supremely versatile Open Space. The spaciousness of this area and
the intuitive, clear functionality allow you to experience
mobility in a completely new way.
The I.D. represents the world “the day after tomorrow”. But the
latest generation of the e-Golf, with a zero-emissions range of
up to 186 miles (on the European cycle) and new gesture control,
will be on the road “tomorrow”. The world of “today” is also
visible in state-of-the-art Volkswagens like the new Tiguan,
which launched interior digitalization with its Active Info
Display and head-up display. The Tiguan, the e-Golf and the I.D.
concept car together point the way from the present to the future
on the Volkswagen booth.
