The fully electric Volkswagen Kombi of the future is a step closer to reality, with spy photos out of Germany revealing an early test mule disguised as a regular Volkswagen Transporter van. While at first glance it looks like a VW Transporter with wide tyres, closer inspection shows it has a lower and wider stance, with fender flares helping accomodate a wider footprint. How do we know this is a test mule for the electric VW Kombi (also known as the VW iD Buzz)?

Volkswagen plans to deliver a €20,000 (AU$32,000) electric vehicle by 2023, according to a new report from Reuters. The in-house project – reportedly codenamed 'Small BEV' (Battery Electric Vehicle) – is tasked with building a city car more affordable than the current ID.3, which was officially launched for Europe in September and is priced from €35,575 (AU$58,000) in Germany.

Volkswagen's 2021 ID.4 X and ID.4 Crozz electric SUVs have been revealed early thanks to leaked official photos shared with a regulatory body in China. The ID.4 will be Volkswagen's first all-electric SUV and is scheduled to launch in China, Europe and the United States sometime in 2020, although Volkswagen is yet to confirm an official date (it was originally scheduled to debut at the cancelled New York Motor Show in April).

Ford’s decision to christen its first all-electric crossover with the Mustang name provoked a, shall we say, passionate response. While controversial, the Mustang Mach-E’s alignment with Ford’s iconic Mustang has helped generate a lot of buzz. Should that translate to sales, Auto Express reports a smaller electric crossover may also adopt the Mustang name.

Volkswagen’s massive rollout of electric cars continues apace with the Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion concept unveiled at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show today. It is the seventh pure electric concept car unveiled by the German giant in the past three years – and while Australia is not likely to get this one, we will get a vehicle that looks like it.
