Just recently, Xiaobian obtained the latest road test spy photos of a group of Volkswagen Aero B pure electric models. However, we found that the new car spy photo and the previously exposed renderings look hugely different, which can be called "face change", and the traditional "moral taste" of the taillights is completely gone, I don't know if it will cause "large-scale spit"?
The design of the Aero B was inspired by Volkswagen's ID Space Vizzion concept model unveiled at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, but the new Aero B does not seem to inherit the sci-fi design style of the concept model, but adopts a more traditional design, which is more or less disappointing.
It can be seen through spy photos that the front face of the new car still adopts a more traditional grille design. Although most of the light strip design is covered by rubber strips, it can still be faintly seen that the new car adopts a through-strip design, which is somewhat similar to the light strip design of the Volkswagen ID series models. Therefore, Xiaobian speculated that the new car will change its new name after the debut, and may join the Volkswagen ID family as a new member, and compete with the same level of electric vehicles such as Tesla Model 3, Weilai ET5 and BYD Han EV.
The perspective shifts to the rear of the new car, although the positioning of the new energy model, but the new car does not use the popular through-type taillight design, but uses a split taillight design, and the design language is completely different from the previous "dewei". Compared with the concept model of the auto show, Xiaobian personally still feels that the through-type taillights are more fashionable and eye-catching, but the new car in the spy photo may not be the final version, and it may be changed again before the official unveiling.
It is speculated that the new car will be based on Volkswagen's MEB platform, offering rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, and like Other pure electric models of Volkswagen, it will use a dual-motor configuration to achieve four-wheel drive. In the future, Volkswagen should also launch a new GTX Sports Version, but there is no specific news about the GTX Sports Edition.
The official has not yet announced the specific release date of the new car, but according to Volkswagen's planning, the new car is expected to be officially released in 2023, or officially unveiled in the fourth quarter of this year. However, due to the impact of the "lack of core" problem, the specific time has yet to be confirmed.
For the exposure of the new car spy photos, it is currently divided into two statements, some people say that this is a new ID model in the future, and some people say that this is a pure electric version of the Passat. But no matter what kind of identity you appear in, this appearance is really a bit discounted, and the ordinary and traditional design style is somewhat out of touch with the times under the tide of new energy. But this is not the final version after all, and the officially unveiled version of the model may surprise us? What do you think of this new car?
