the square - new mobility hub: Volkswagen shows the smallest Stromer 🎥
FUTURE With an electric entry-level model, Volkswagen presents its vision of an electric vehicle in the small car segment and makes sustainable mobility accessible to even more people.
The entry price of the runabout is expected to be around 25,000 Swiss francs. A first glimpse of a vehicle of this type is provided by the ID. Life study, which was first presented at the International Motor Show IAA MOBILITY 2021 in Munich and is now being shown for the first time in Switzerland at "the square - new mobility hub" in the Circle at Zurich Airport. Until January 4, 2023, the all-electric study ID. Life will be on display and open to the general public.
On request cinema hall or gaming center
The vision of an all-electric small car for urban areas focuses on people and the communal experience. To achieve this, the study combines sustainability and digitization with an exceptionally flexible usage concept. For example, the ID. LIFE can be used, for example, as a movie theater, gaming center or for relaxing in the open air.
From 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds
The ID. Life is based on a smaller variant of Volkswagen's modular e-drive system (MEB) developed specifically for the small car segment. The electric motor drives the front wheels. This is the first time a vehicle designed on the basis of the MEB has been equipped with front-wheel drive. With its 172 kW (234 hp) electric motor, the ID. LIFE accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. Its 57 kWh high-voltage battery enables a range of around 400 kilometers (WLTP).
Wood chips natural body colorant
The sustainable character of the ID. LIFE is particularly reflected in the choice of materials, including the paint finish. The clearcoat for the body uses wood chips as a natural colorant and a bio-based hardener. The air chamber textile for the roof and front cover is made of 100 percent recycled PET bottles.
In the interior, wood is combined with Artvelours Eco for the seat surfaces and door trim in the dashboard and rear seat area. In addition, organic oil, natural rubber and rice husks, among other things, serve as basic materials for the tires of the ID. LIFE.
Multifunctional transformable interior
The ID. LIFE is a reliable companion for digital experiences of various kinds. It can be converted into a cinema or gaming lounge in no time at all, for example. A game console and projector are on board. A projection screen serves as a screen that can be extended from the dashboard if required. Other devices can be connected individually and are supplied with power from a 230-volt connection (16 amps) in the interior.
The seating concept is designed to be extremely flexible in line with the demand for a companion for all situations. The front bench seat can be folded down completely. Together with the rear seat, which can also be folded down, numerous variants are possible, ranging from cinema seating to a bed around two meters long to a cargo variant with maximum usable trunk space.
Until January 4, 2023, the all-electric study ID. Life and the ID.5 GTX will be on display. With the ID. ID.3, ID.4 GTX, ID.5 GTX and ID. Buzz, which are already available on the Swiss market, can be test-driven on site.
