VW I.D. Concept To Make Debut at Paris Motor Show

screen-shot-2016-10-06-at-3-48-26-pm
The Paris Motor Show is sure to be a very exciting event for Volkswagen. VW will be revealing its I.D. concept car which will become the first Volkswagen built off the Modular Electric Drive concept. As we’ve mentioned in previous blogs, VW is hard at work on up to 30 new models based on three electric foundations. The I.D. concept is just the first of this lineup. The concept will use a 168-horsepower electric motor, have an interior with the Open Space concept, and will allow us to get a first glimpse of fully automated driving with a multifunction steering wheel that retracts into the “dashpad" in fully automated mode. VW has released a very detailed press release on the new concept and we’ll take the time to dissect it in this, and the next post. Today we will take a look at the exterior and performance details and next week we’ll get to the interior and its futuristic technologies.As stated above, the I.D. concept uses new MEB vehicle architecture which exhibits a long wheelbase with very short overhangs; it is just over 13 feet in length. The car looks as though it were made from of a single piece of aluminum or a translucent block of ice. The narrow front end structure gives the highest level of safety while still allowing the front wheels to turn sharply and give a small turning radius. Traditional door mirrors have been replaced by cameras which are integrated into the front fenders which also houses large, sculpted bumpers and “Anodized Blue” diffusers. The lack of B-pillars between the front and back doors allows for more room, but the rear swivel backward doors maintain the integrity of the cabin and its safety. Finally, front interactive LED lights are framed by a C-shaped light signature and at the rear are narrow horizontal LED taillights. White and blue 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with blue low-rolling resistance tires finish out the look.As for performance, the I.D. concept is a zero-emissions drive system. The 168-horsepower electric motor will be paired with a single-gear transmission and a flat lithium-ion battery that is integrated into the floor. Interestingly enough, this battery will be able to be charged by cable or using an inductive charging interface in the front of the car (similar to your wireless phone chargers). It will also be possible to configure the I.D. with different battery capacities for more customized driving.“The electric powertrain gives our designers far greater freedom. We have shrunk the cooling grilles to a minimum, shifted the axles far outwards and created breathtaking proportions, as demonstrated by the I.D. —an icon of the future. We had the unique opportunity to guide Volkswagen into a new era, and with the I.D we have taken this opportunity.”The I.D. concept is due to go on sale in 2020, with a range of up to 373 miles on a single battery charge."REVOLUTIONARY VOLKSWAGEN I.D. ELECTRIC CONCEPT CAR MAKES ITS WORLD DEBUT AT THE PARIS MOTOR SHOW." Volkswagen US Media Newsroom. Volkswagen, 29 Sept. 2016. Web. 6 Oct. 2016.

2027 VW Atlas Cross Sport

The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Looks Like It Moved Up a Class

Volkswagen just revealed the all-new 2027 Atlas Cross Sport, and this is much more than a light refresh. The second-generation Atlas Cross Sport gets completely new sheet metal, dramatically updated lighting, a redesigned cabin and new technology, while keeping the five-passenger layout that has distinguished it from the three-row Atlas since its introduction. From our perspective at King Volkswagen, the most interesting part is how much attention Volkswagen has put into making the Atlas Cross Sport feel more premium without turning it into an entirely different kind of SUV. The redesigned model is expected to launch in early 2027. Until then, Gaithersburg-area drivers can explore our current Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport inventory or use our Volkswagen Model Research pages to compare the models currently available at King Volkswagen. The New Atlas Cross Sport Finally Leans All the Way Into Its Sportier Role The Atlas Cross Sport has always occupied an interesting spot in Volkswagen's SUV lineup. It shares plenty with the Atlas, but trades the seven-passenger layout for five seats and a more dramatically sloped rear profile. For 2027, Volkswagen has pushed that distinction considerably further. The new Cross Sport has a lower, more planted appearance, with a short rear overhang, dramatically raked rear pillars and stronger body proportions. Up front, there are stacked LED headlights and an available illuminated VW badge framed by double lightlines. Around back, the taillight design echoes the lighting signature at the front. Even details like the tailgate have been cleaned up so it now sits flush with the rear bumper. This feels less like Volkswagen trying to make an Atlas slightly sportier and more like the Cross Sport developing a stronger identity of its own. The 2027 Atlas Cross Sport Cabin Might Be the Bigger Transformation The exterior will probably get most of the attention in photos, but Volkswagen has essentially started over inside, too. There's a new architectural design running across the dashboard, more soft-touch materials and standard gray wood trim. Available ambient lighting can extend through the dashboard and doors, while the interior color choices include Pebble Grey, black and a medium brown. More importantly, Volkswagen has focused on things you'll actually interact with. Front seating has been redesigned, with available full-back massage functions for both the driver and front passenger on upper trims. A hands-free power liftgate is now standard, along with rear sunshades, and the center console has space to wirelessly charge two phones side by side. Those changes make the redesign more interesting to us than simply installing larger displays and calling the cabin new. Volkswagen Is Making the Technology Easier to Live With, Too There is plenty of new technology in the 2027 Atlas Cross Sport, but some of the smaller ideas may end up being the most useful. A new Driver Experience Dial gives you a physical central control for functions including audio volume, drive modes and Volkswagen's Atmospheres feature. Volkswagen is also expanding its connected features through myVW+, with available services covering navigation, entertainment, connectivity and even generative-AI-powered voice functionality. Driver assistance technology is evolving as well. Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE suite returns with updates to Travel Assist, including the ability for the driver to initiate a lane change while using the hands-on semi-automated driving feature. There is also a new Emergency Assist Plus function designed to help guide the vehicle toward the side of the road if the system detects a medical emergency. For shoppers who want to compare Volkswagen's current technology before the redesigned model arrives, our Volkswagen Model Research resources are a good place to start. The Five-Seat Atlas Cross Sport Still Has a Reason to Exist There's an easy question whenever two SUVs share as much as the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport: why choose one over the other? The 2027 redesign makes the answer clearer. The Atlas remains Volkswagen's three-row choice for drivers who need seven-passenger flexibility. The Atlas Cross Sport keeps five seats and emphasizes its lower profile, distinctive styling and spacious passenger and cargo areas instead. That can make the Atlas Cross Sport especially appealing if you want midsize-SUV room but don't need a third row occupying part of the vehicle. Drivers around Gaithersburg, Rockville, Bethesda, Germantown and Silver Spring can browse our New Volkswagen Inventory to compare the current Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport side by side before the next generation arrives. Follow the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport at King Volkswagen Volkswagen expects the all-new 2027 Atlas Cross Sport to launch in early 2027, with final pricing and additional details coming closer to its arrival. We're looking forward to seeing this one in person. The Atlas Cross Sport has always offered an alternative for drivers who like the space of a midsize SUV but don't necessarily need three rows, and the new generation gives that idea a much stronger visual identity. Until it arrives, you can shop our current Volkswagen inventory, check our New Vehicle Specials, explore our Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen Inventory, or complete a Vehicle Appraisal online. You can also use our How to Buy Online resources to complete more of your vehicle search from home. Visit King Volkswagen at 979 N Frederick Ave. in Gaithersburg, MD, to explore the Volkswagen lineup currently available and stay tuned for more on the redesigned 2027 Atlas Cross Sport as its launch gets closer.
