The 2021 Volkswagen ID.6 electric SUV has been unveiled ahead of its public debut at this week's 2021 Shanghai motor show. The third member of Volkswagen's burgeoning ID electric vehicle family, the six- or seven-seat ID.6 will be sold exclusively in the Chinese market, where it will be offered in two guises, each built as part of a different Volkswagen joint venture: the ID.6 X (built by SAIC, owners of MG and LDV) and ID.6 Crozz (manufactured by FAW).

Volkswagen will triple the size of its electric SUV range in 2021, with the brand confirming the arrival of two new, sports-focused mid-size models. Hidden in a press release detailing Volkswagen's fleet-wide CO2 emissions output in 2020 is confirmation it will launch two new electric SUVs in 2021, alongside the previously-revealed ID.4: the ID.4 GTX and ID.5.

We saw it in concept form three years ago as the ID Crozz, and here it is at last: the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 – the company's second model in its new ID electric vehicle range. Joining the smaller ID.3 hatch revealed last year, the mid-sized, five-seat ID.4 debuts as Volkswagen's first all-electric SUV – making it an obvious option for buyers looking to haul their small family around in zero-emissions style.

The Volkswagen ID.4 has been spied during winter testing in upper reaches of Europe. Originally scheduled to make its in-the-flesh debut at this week's Chicago motor show, its launch has reportedly been pushed back until the New York show in April.

Feast your eyes on the first all-electric Volkswagen to come to Australia, the ID.4 SUV. Ignore the clever disguise – an Opel grille, how sneaky! – and you’ll see this ID.4 is identical to the EV SUV Volkswagen wrapped in camouflage earlier this year in China and shrouded in fog in Frankfurt.
