2023 Volkswagen ID.8 vs 2023 Volkswagen ID.6 Comparison.

Although we haven't seen any images of it yet, Volkswagen has confirmed a three-row SUV will soon launch on its electric-vehicle architecture. The family-friendly SUV will be called ID.8 and we expect it to share styling with the slightly smaller ID.6 (shown above) that was unveiled for the Chinese market. The ID.8 will be much larger than the ID.4, putting it into contention with mid-size SUVs. It will have three rows of seats and seating for up to seven riders. Rear-wheel drive will likely be standard, but a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive arrangement will probably be optional. It's currently unclear how big of a battery Volkswagen will offer here, but in China buyers of the smaller ID.6 can choose either a 58.0- or 77.0-kWh pack, with a driving range of up to 365 miles with the larger of the two. Given the popularity of three-row crossovers, VW would be wise to bring the ID.8 to market soon, and we expect to see it as a 2023 model.

What's New for 2023?

The ID.8 is all-new and will be the largest of Volkswagen's ID models when it goes on sale. More information should be available closer to the SUV's on-sale date.

The Volkswagen ID.6 is one of several MEB-based Volkswagen models produced in China and currently sold solely in China, but it might change as export to Europe are reportedly under consideration.


Let's take a look at this model in an interesting review by Wheelsboy, which had an opportunity to check a top-of-the-line Prime version, in a 6-seat configuration (the base is 7-seat).

The Volkswagen ID.6 is a very similar car to the Volkswagen ID.4, just bigger. The most important difference is the length difference - 30 cm. That's enough to add the third row, but do not expect a lot of space, especially legroom in the back or even air conditioning vents. It's mostly for kids.

The Volkswagen ID.6 prices in China vary from $37,500-$52,000 depending on the version and trim, which is considerably more than in the case of ID.4: $31,000-$43,000.

Electric motor options and battery options are basically the same as in the case of ID.4 (see specs on the bottom of this post). It's also noteworthy that the ID.6 exists in two almost identical versions: ID.6 CROZZ, produced by FAW-Volkswagen and ID.6 X, produced by SAIC Volkswagen.

According to Wheelsboy, the ID.6 is a solid product, but it inherited some of the quirks of the ID. cars, like annoying capacitive touch buttons or nonintuitive infotainment system.

Inside, the overall interior fit and finish is good, but in the case of materials, there are hard plastics here and there, and in general it does not appear to be on par with some the other electric cars in the ultra-competitive Chinese EV market. Maybe the upcoming Audi Q5 e-tron version will be nicer?

The driving experience is positive, but in this regard Wheelsboy asks whether "good" is good enough, especially if Volkswagen intends to go electric on a mass scale?
