- German pricing starts at €27,995 including VAT, the longest‑range model is rated up to 265 miles WLTP, and Volkswagen has put larger‑battery, higher‑spec trims on sale immediately while entry models will follow.
- The ID Cross delivers everyday utility with a 12.9‑inch infotainment screen, 10.25‑inch cluster, 475‑litre boot, a 25‑litre front storage space, and standard vehicle‑to‑load output up to 3.6 kW, a package aimed at cost‑conscious European buyers and wider EV adoption.
