According to a report of Autocar India, the Volkswagen EV SUV is expected to boast a distinctive design, setting it apart from its predecessors, the ID 4 and ID 5. The SUV is expected to feature an upright silhouette, bulkier wheel arches, and a unique vent-style motif on the C-pillar, which may be glass in the production model.

A chunky rear spoiler might add to the vehicle's assertive appearance. In terms of size, the SUV might measure approximately 4.1 meters in length with a wheelbase of 2,600mm, offering more than the ID 2's 490 litres of boot space. This includes a 50-litre lockable box under the boot floor, ideal for storing charging cables and valuables.

Inside the cabin, the SUV is anticipated to mirror the ID 2, with a 12.9-inch infotainment screen and a 10.9-inch digital driver display. Physical switches for audio and climate controls are expected to make a comeback, enhancing user-friendliness. Yamaha YZF-R3, Yamaha MT-03 Launched in India: From Specifications, Features To Price, Here’s Everything To Know About New Yamaha Bikes.
