The concept car is a pure 2-seater; however, the ID. BUGGY can also be converted to a 2+2-seater. Powered by Volkswagen, built by X. The composite body, manufactured in a mixed aluminium/steel/plastic construction, is self-supporting. Thanks to the modular design, the upper body area can be detached from the MEB chassis. A clear signal to small series manufacturers and start-ups: As in the past, Volkswagen is opening up to external producers with the ID. BUGGY concept. The offer: On this basis you can build the emission-free dune buggy for a new era – no matter whether for Santa Barbara in California, the Yalong Bay in China or St. Peter-Ording in Germany. In general, the MEB also has the potential to become the new technical basis for e-mobility for many automobile manufacturers. Background: At the beginning of 2019, Volkswagen announced for the first time that it intended to also make the MEB accessible to competitors as an electric vehicle platform. Forerunner of an ID. model? At the same time, the ID. BUGGY illustrates the broad spectrum of emission-free mobility that can be achieved with the modular electric drive matrix within the Volkswagen brand: After the ID. (compact class), ID. BUZZ (van), ID. CROZZ (SUV) and ID. VIZZION (saloon), the new ID. BUGGY is the fifth concept car based on MEB, with which Volkswagen has used to confirm the multifaceted nature of the ID. Family. Unlike the four first concept cars, the ID. BUGGY has consciously been designed without an assisted driving system. It was conceived as a summer cruiser and to be especially fun to drive over short distances. The concept car shows by way of example that there is also room for a zero-emission vehicle with reduced equipment – of whatever type – in the future product range of the ID. Family.
