The exterior is also a projection surface for next-generation AI-supported lighting and display systems. The newly designed living space on board the ID fits in with this. CODE, in which the real and virtual worlds combine to create a new mobility experience. The electrically powered concept car can be driven both conventionally and autonomously at Level 4.

The ID. Family will grow to a total of 16 models by 2030. These include five electric cars from the new ID.UX sub-brand, which will celebrate their market debut by 2027.
