Overview
The Volkswagen ID. Cross (stylized in all caps with spaced out letters) is a battery electric subcompact SUV produced by Volkswagen. It is considered the electric equivalent of the Volkswagen T-Cross.
Powertrain
Just like with the ID. Polo, the ID. Cross uses a front-mounted APP290 Axial Parallel Position permanent-magnet synchronous motor which can produce 114 hp, 133 hp paired with the 37-kWh LFP battery, or 208 hp with the 52-kWh NMC battery. As the name suggests, the motor produces a torque output of approximately 290 Nm (around 214 lb-ft), providing strong acceleration for urban driving. The ID. Cross is based on the MEB+ platform used for front-wheel-drive vehicles, also shared with the ID. Polo, Cupra Raval, and Škoda Epiq.
