Volkswagen has revealed its updated I.D. Crozz concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
First revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show in April, the electric car concept has been updated to move it closer to production.
The concept forms part of a new electric push for the German car maker – one which will see its electrified vehicle range expanded with three models from 2020. By 2025, Volkswagen Group plans to offer 23 all-electric models.
Herbert Diess, chairman of the Volkswagen brand board of management, said: “The Volkswagen Brand will be investing 6 billion euros (circa £5.4bn) in electric mobility over the next five years. Our task is to make modern technology available to many people. This is especially important in times of technological transformation. One thing is clear: The Golf of the future must once again be a people’s car!”

The exterior of the I.D. Crozz has been given full LED headlights, while the interior has a large amount of space and is easily accessible thanks to large swinging and sliding doors.
A new CleanAir system has also been developed by Volkswagen for the concept. A menu provides information on the quality of the air inside the cabin, while the system ensures it remains clean.

The I.D. Crozz also features a fully automated driving mode, which can be activated or deactivated via voice instruction. Its all-electric, four-wheel-drive drivetrain gives it better grip levels in poor conditions, while the batteries can be replenished to 80 per cent in 30 minutes when using a fast-charging system. Volkswagen claims an all-electric range of 310 miles.
A production version of the I.D. Crozz is slated to go on sale in 2020, along with two other I.D. vehicles.
