Another electrified model joins Volkswagen’s (VW) list of sustainable vehicles. This is the ID.AERO, the brand’s first 100% electric sedan with a set of unique mechanical features and specifications, which has been classified by many as a direct rival to the Tesla Model 3.
As a mid-size premium sedan, the German manufacturer presented the next generation that will top the list of electric vehicles, where little by little VW is positioning itself as one of the strongest in the world, and which in 2021 took over 11% of the market.
With almost five meters long, Volkswagen went into the aerodynamic section intensely after drawing deep and continuous lines that start at the front grill and slide over the entire structure to end at the rear, achieving a coefficient of 0.23 .
The windshield provides a racing look, as if it were an airplane cockpit or futuristic vehicle, strengthening the concept of “next level” with respect to electric cars. This sensation is appreciated from the front, since from the side, the design is much more like a car than an aircraft.

On an aesthetic level, it will sport 22-inch wheels flush with the wheel arches, with a paint for the entire body called Polar Light Blue Metallic. One of the details that most attracts attention is the replacement of the door handles with tactile surfaces, increasing the futuristic sensation and contributing to less resistance to advancement by the flow of wind.
Volkswagen claims that this vehicle will be global in scale, available for the Chinese, European and US markets, representing the German marque as a worthy successor to the ID.4 in terms of popularity and global reach.
The ID.AERO will have a range of more than 600 kilometers thanks to a powerful 77 kWh battery, and it is expected to hit the market in 2023, as part of Volkswagen’s offensive to position itself in the market as a benchmark in electric models.
Finally, a vehicle with these characteristics will strengthen the zero emission plans established as mandatory for the year 2050, being sustainable, elegant and powerful, and with features that are ideally combined to seduce potential customers.
