The Volkswagen ID. Cross (stylized in all caps with spaced out letters) is an upcoming battery electric subcompact crossover SUV to be produced by Volkswagen. It is considered the electric equivalent of the Volkswagen T-Cross.
Overview
The ID. Cross is an electric subcompact crossover SUV that will become the T-Cross' electric equivalent. It will use an updated version of the MEB platform dubbed "MEB+".[1] It was unveiled at the 2025 Munich Motor Show on September 8.[2] It is expected to enter production in 2026.[3]
It is possible that the ID. Cross will use a different name when it enters production.[4] The ID. Cross is part of Volkswagen's Electric Urban Car Family, which also comprises the ID. Polo, Cupra Raval, and the Škoda Epiq.[5]

Design and features
In the exterior there is a floating roof, front and rear light bars, and illuminated VW badges. Physical buttons are also present instead of capacitive touch buttons used in earlier ID. models. Cupholders are in front of a container using real eucalyptus leaves. A 13-inch touchscreen and a 11-inch digital instrument cluster are present.[4][6]
The "Pure Positive" design language debuts with the new ID. Cross. The concept version's paint job is a shade of green named Urban Jungle and the interior is in a shade of beige dubbed Vanilla Chai.[7]
Powertrain
Just like with the ID. Polo, the ID. Cross uses a front-mounted motor. The motor produces 208 horsepower (155 kW; 211 PS), and the ID. Cross has a maximum range of 261 miles. The ID. Cross is based on the MEB+ platform used for front-wheel-drive vehicles, also shared with the ID. Polo, Cupra Raval, and Škoda Epiq.[2][4][6]
