Design for a new era. The clear and powerful design of the I.D. CROZZ II combines the dominant and rugged look of an SUV with the sporting ease of an elegant coupé. The length of the I.D. CROZZ II is 4,625 mm. Between the front and rear sections is a long wheelbase measuring 2,773 mm. The width of the concept vehicle is 1,891 mm, and it is 1,609 mm high. The dimensions – and thereby spacial proportions – are most comparable with those of the new Tiguan Allspace. The large bonnet with its wings athletically contoured in wide radii is a style-defining feature. It extends expressively across the full width of the vehicle's high front end. The clean surfaces of the SUV's bonnet and bumpers give them a sculptural look. Long and extended: the sharply contoured, visually light roof lines. High-end: the transparent roof surface that is finished in a high-gloss black. A new feature is a movable light shade in the illuminated panoramic roof that creates both interior and exterior ambient lighting. Powerful: the iconic rear body and sporty, wide shoulders. Also emphasising the vehicle's width: a high-gloss black lateral surface of the rear end with narrow LED matrix segments as tail lights and the Volkswagen badge that is also illuminated. Masculine: the large surface area of the vehicle sides with their powerful dual wheel arches (outside in body colour, inside in a matt black tone), the new 21-inch wheels and solid, dark side sills with a matt, rugged texture in the same black tone as the wheel arches.
Light shade, activated by gesture control. One new feature is the light shade integrated into the illuminated panoramic roof. This virtual shade is opened and closed by gesture control. A carpet of light produced by open LED strips then glides across the roof liner, thus brightening the interior. The light strips in the roof are visible from the outside, too. Gesture control commands mimic the operation of a traditional sliding sunroof: a short, quick hand movement opens or closes the shade completely, while a slow gesture moves the light carpet seamlessly until it reaches the desired position.
360-degree light show. The LED headlights with their new light facets and all other exterior lights of the I.D. CROZZ II are designed to be interactive. They bring the concept vehicle to life with a 360-degree light show. An overview of the lighting scenarios:
-
I.D. CROZZ II wakes up. When the I.D. is 'awakened' it greets its driver and passengers with a 360° light show: first, the glass Volkswagen logos (at the front and in the boot lid) light up in white. Starting from the front badge, a white line develops to the left and right; it passes into the line graphics of the LED headlights, whose individual light facets are now sequentially activated to welcome the driver. In tandem with the dipped beam, the illumination of the laser roof sensors and of the light shade in the roof is also ramped up. At the same time, the sensor fields for opening the doors are illuminated. Finally, by activating its daytime running lights, the I.D. CROZZ II signals that it is ready to start. When the electric doors are opened, the sensor fields pulsate; as soon as the car drives off, these sensor fields are dimmed.
- I.D. CROZZ II drives itself (fully automatically). If the driver activates the 'I.D. Pilot' mode, four laser scanners extend to the outside; a narrow wreath of light illuminates in white here.
