VW has previewed its upcoming electric saloon car with the reveal of its ID Aero concept.

Based on the existing MEB platform, the new model is expected to join its ID 3, ID 4 and ID 5 stablemates in early 2024.

It's likely the new model will be named the ID 6, when it goes on sale in the UK.

At almost five metres long, and with a sloping roofline, the ID Zero promises to be both spacious and aerodynamic.

The concept car is equipped with a 77kWh battery and is said to have a range of 385 miles. When the ID Zero enters production, it’s likely to share the same powertrain options as other VW ID models with single and twin motor configurations and a range of battery sizes.

“With the ID  Aero show car, we are revealing a preview of the next member of the ID family. A car with an emotional and at the same time extremely aerodynamic design, a range of over 600 kilometres, an extraordinary amount of space and a premium interior,” said Ralf Brandstätter, chief executive officer of Volkswagen Passenger Cars.

“With our ACCELERATE strategy, we are intensively driving forward the electrification of our model range. Following the ID 4, this model will be our next global car for Europe, China and the US.”
