In 2009 they began their EV business research, for which they appointed Carl-Thomas Neumann as its Group Chief Officer for their electric traction.
And around 2016 Volkswagen came into the market with 3 electric and 6 hybrid cars. They plan to sell around one million vehicles by 2025 in the hybrid and electric segments.
This concept car is based on the performance-enhanced ID.4 GTX. The concept vehicle was created by the team of Andreas Reckewerth (Head of the overall vehicle MEB) in the Volkswagen Development department.
It has an additional Advanced modified car bar with a front bumper, and 50mm wider wings giving it a rugged off-road look with an extra LED long light on the roof along with a Fully Electric AWD system.
The performance capability of Volkswagen SUV ID. XTREME1
The result of the project is a unique off-road vehicle that impresses with its rugged beast appearance and outstanding power which will make this vehicle roam in the area like a powerful beast.
A high-performance drive on the rear axle and software adaptations in the drive control unit increase the system power of the concept car by 65 kW to 285 kW compared with the ID.4 GTX.
