VW unveils new look in China

Volkswagen has revealed a radical shift in design for its future electric models with the unveiling of the ID Code concept at the 2024 Beijing motor show.

Sporting a sleek new design language conceived exclusively for Chinese-market cars, the SUV-coupé concept previews

a new range of EVs that are being developed in partnership with Volkswagen's various joint-venture partners in China, according to Volkswagen CEO Thomas Schäfer.

The ID Code is based on an unspecified platform architecture that is claimed to accommodate single-motor rear-wheel drive and dualmotor four-wheel drive, as well as varying battery capacities and ranges. The concept itself will evolve into a flagship model for Volkswagen's newly announced ID UX Chinese EV family (see box, below).
