Passat pure electric successor Volkswagen ID.AERO will debut on June 27

A few days ago, Volkswagen announced that its Volkswagen ID.AERO (formerly Aero B) concept car will be launched on June 27, and will be the first in China in the second half of 2023.Previously, at the 2022 press conference of the Volkswagen brand held on March 16, Ralf Brandsttter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand, showed us the design manuscript of the Volkswagen ID.Aero concept car, which was also the first time the car was shown to the public.It is reported that the new Volkswagen ID.Aero will become the hot-selling model of the Volkswagen brand, the electric replacement model of the Passat, and its maximum battery life will exceed 700 kilometers.

The previous development code of Volkswagen ID.Aero was Aero B. The car is aimed at the pure electric iteration of the overseas version of the Passat and will become Volkswagen's first pure electric mid-size sedan.As for the domestic market, it is expected that the pure electric version of the Volkswagen ID.Aero, and the gasoline version of the Passat and Magotan, will appear in the market together, rather than replacing the relationship.

It can be seen from the exposed preview image that the positioning of the Volkswagen ID.Aero will be a sedan. The front face part follows the family design of the ID. series, using rising LED headlights with through-type light strips and luminous VW cars. It adopts a closed grille to highlight theattributes ofnew energy vehicles.The air intake under the body is similar to the ID. series, with a honeycomb design and a futuristic feel.

The side of the body is similar to the lines of the overseas version of the Passat, and it adopts blackened AC pillars. The body with a fast-back design can reflect its sports attributes, and it has the feeling of a future coupe.Since the appearance of the Volkswagen ID.Aero has not been announced yet, according to the spy photos exposed during the previous casing test, it can be seen that the size of the new car should be almost the same as the overseas version of the Passat, and it also has more sporty attributes.

For the interior, we estimate that the new car will continue the interior design style of the ID. family, and will be equipped with some higher-level assisted driving and other intelligent functions.In terms of power, according to the information previously announced by the official, the Volkswagen ID.Aero will launch two versions of single motor and dual motor, and will launch the GTX performance version later.Among them, the high-performance version can accelerate to 100 kilometers in 5.6 seconds. If this data is true and reliable, then this new car will have stronger power than all current versions of the Passat.
