Equipped with all-wheel drive and an evocative body kit, the Volkswagen ID. Xtreme concept car will delight off-road enthusiasts with an ecological conscience.
Presented in Switzerland, in Locarno, the Volkswagen ID. Xtreme is a prototype based on the technical platform of the series VW ID.4 GTX. Like the latter, it features four-wheel drive, but its purpose is no longer here to safely take you to winter sports. The ID. Xtreme is intended for hardcore off-roaders and is equipped with a range of specific features: raised suspension, brush guard, underbody protection, rally-style light bar, widened wheel arches, and specialized 18-inch tires…
To climb trees, Volkswagen has crafted a more unleashed version of the electric motor from the ID.4 GTX. Nearly a hundred additional horsepower, bringing total to 387 ponies! A comfortable power level that features a “sporty” sound generator to create the illusion with every acceleration and dune crossing. However, a slight disappointment: the 82 kWh battery (77 kWh net) is unlikely to allow for very impressive rally-range autonomy.
And why not?
Inside, the Volkswagen ID Xtreme concept car receives numerous Alcantara inserts, off-road suited seats, and touches of orange color.
“We are really eager to see how electric mobility fans react to the vehicle. Based on feedback from our community, we will decide how to proceed with the project“, specifies Silke Bagschik, Volkswagen’s Marketing Director in charge of electric cars.
Nothing indicates a forthcoming commercial launch, but off-road enthusiasts can rest assured, even in electric form, they will not be forgotten!
