Volkswagen ID. Cross Set to Launch as New Electric Crossover

Volkswagen has recently registered a brand new trademark, ID. Cross, at the European Intellectual Property Office, which has ignited excitement among car enthusiasts.

Corresponding registration documents were also found at the German Patent and Trademark Office, further validating this revelation. For fans of Volkswagen, the name ID. Cross is quite familiar.

At the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, the company showcased a concept vehicle called ID Crozz, which was later revealed in an upgraded version as ID. Crozz II at the Frankfurt Motor Show. These concept models laid the groundwork for the production of the Volkswagen ID.4, raising anticipation for the new model Cross. The name ID. Cross could apply to various Volkswagen products, except for the Tiguan, Golf, and GTI models.

Given Volkswagen's historical use of the term “Cross,” it is reasonable to assume that it will be associated with some kind of crossover or SUV-type vehicle. It's noteworthy that there is a small vehicle named T-Cross, recognized as a compact crossover, which is not sold in the United States due to its smaller dimensions. This hints at the possibility of ID. Cross being introduced in the European market, catering to its distinct preferences compared to the U.S. market. Additionally, the name Cross has been used as a suffix in several Volkswagen models in the Chinese market, which may also suggest that ID. Cross could be a special version of the recently launched long-wheelbase ID.7.
