Volkswagen has begun the development of an all-new electric SUV based on the popular ID 3 hatchback sold in other markets. According to the automaker, this new SUV will be aimed at capitalizing on the still-expanding global small SUV market.
According to VW CEO Thomas Schafer, the company is “working hard to develop an additional compact SUV based on the ID 3 so that we can launch a Volkswagen product in this fast-growing vehicle segment.” When it arrives before 2026, this new SUV will look very different from the ID 3. It will not be a Russian-doll style.
