Volkswagen revealed the production version of the ID. Cross, a compact electric crossover built for the European market. It works as an EV alternative to the T-Cross: the technology and cabin are shared closely with the ID. Polo hatchback, but the ID. Cross gets its own crossover body. It measures 4,153 mm long, 1,794 mm wide and 1,581 mm tall on a 2,601 mm wheelbase.
The car uses Volkswagen’s MEB+ platform with front-wheel drive only. Two battery sizes are offered: a 37 kWh pack good for up to 324 km WLTP on the Trend, and a larger 52 kWh pack rated up to 427 km. The 37 kWh pack is lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and charges at up to 90 kW, 10 to 80 percent in about 23 minutes; the 52 kWh pack is nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and charges at up to 105 kW, about 24 minutes. Production started in September 2026 at Pamplona, Spain. Three power outputs are available across the range, from 85 kW (114 hp) up to 155 kW (208 hp), mirroring the motor and battery pairings already confirmed on the related ID. Polo.
Inside, the ID. Cross follows the same new interior logic as the ID. Polo: two screens, physical buttons on the steering wheel, and separate physical controls for climate with rotary dials. It marks a step back from the fully touch-based minimalism that drew criticism on earlier ID. models.
German orders opened in July 2026 with the 155 kW, 52 kWh versions only: the Life at €36,525 and the Style at €39,110, both reduced by a Volkswagen purchase premium while it runs. Orders for the 37 kWh versions opened on 19 October: the Trend starts at €27,995 with an 85 kW motor, and 99 kW is offered on the smaller pack too. Volkswagen has no plans to bring the ID. Cross to the US.
