Volkswagen ID.Cross: the compact electric SUV becomes cheaper with LFP battery, here are the prices
The ID.Cross lineup is now complete with entry-level variants. With the 37 kWh battery paired with the base Trend trim, the starting price drops from 37,800 to 27,995 euros.
The ID.Cross was launched a few weeks ago with its 52 kWh NMC battery. It now comes in a lower-tier version with a 37 kWh LFP battery, whose prices are being revealed here. This version is equipped with two motors. The base Trend model features an 85 kW motor, producing 116 horsepower. The Life and Style variants have a 99 kW motor, delivering 135 horsepower. Torque remains the same at 267 Nm. In terms of performance, the 116 horsepower version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.6 seconds, while the 135 horsepower version does so in 9.5 seconds.
The charging options are identical, featuring a built-in 11 kW bidirectional AC charger and an 88 kW fast DC charger as standard. It takes 23 minutes to go from 10% to 80% charge. This battery is claimed to offer a mixed cycle range of 316 km, compared to 426 km for the 52 kWh version.
The 37 kWh battery thus provides access to the base Trend version (not available in the 52 kWh variant). This version is already quite well-equipped, coming standard with front/rear parking assist, automatic high beams, a 10.25-inch digital dashboard, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, climate control, and more.
Like the ID.Polo, the entry-level model comes at a very attractive price of 27,995 €. The Renault 4 starts at 29,990 € and features 120 horsepower along with a 40 kWh NMC battery that provides 308 km of range. It does, however, come equipped with a heat pump. To counter this, Renault is preparing a new base Jogging variant with a 36.5 kWh LFP battery.

In the Style version, the 37 kWh model costs 36,750 € and includes Matrix LED headlights, hands-free access, navigation, front seats, and heated steering wheel.
