The images of Volkswagen ID.4 electric crossover has been leaked ahead of a launch later this year. From the images, it is clear that the crossover will share similar design features and traits to the ID.3 hatch. The ID.4 aims to combine the dynamic lines of a modern-day sports car with the all-terrain capability of a dedicated off-roader. The ID.4 will stand at 4,592mm long, 1,852mm wide, and 1,629mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,765mm.

The ID.4 will initially be sold with a single electric motor and rear-wheel drive, with a more powerful twin-motor, four-wheel-drive layout set to be offered within the first 12 months of sales. The car will offer up to 203hp and 310Nm of torque from its rear-mounted electric motor. The four-wheel-drive model will add a front-mounted motor with an additional 102hp and 140Nm, taking its overall output to 306hp and 450Nm.

A range of different battery options will be available, the largest of which, a rumored 83kWh unit, will offer a range of up to 500km on the WLTP test cycle. The ID.4 will also offer fast-charging that will allow its battery to be charged to an 80 percent state of charge within 30mins on a 125-150kW system. Volkswagen is looking to launch the production version ID.4 in India by 2021.
