Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand: “The ID.5 is electric, sporty and elegant. Our premium SUV coupé with all-electric drive marks another milestone in our ACCELERATE strategy. It offers locally carbon-neutral driving enjoyment for a discerning customer group. We are breaking into a completely new market segment with this model.”
Jozef Kabaň, Head of Volkswagen Design: “The ID.5 is symbolic for the body style of the future: aerodynamic, expressive, sporty with short overhangs thanks to the MEB. That’s how we have been able to ensure a spacious interior despite the dynamic roof line – this simply wasn’t possible before.”
Thomas Ulbrich, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management, responsible for Development: “The electronic vehicle dynamics manager is a pioneering Volkswagen development. We have networked it with other important control systems, and it is also integrated with the all-wheel control function in the ID.5 GTX. This brings an entirely new level of sporty driving pleasure, traction and driving comfort.”
Klaus Zellmer, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management, responsible for Sales, Marketing and After Sales: “Latest-generation assist systems demonstrate Volkswagen’s software expertise: here we’re taking the next step towards automated driving as part of the ACCELERATE strategy.”
