The market introduction of the two Chinese Volkswagen ID.6 versions (ID.6 CROZZ by the FAW-Volkswagen and ID.6 X by the SAIC Volkswagen) is scheduled for Shanghai Auto Show (April 17, 2021).

According to the most recent reports from China (via Moneyball), the battery capacity of the ID.6 CROZZ (and probably also ID.6 X) will be about 84.8 kWh. The lithium-ion NCM cells will be supplied by CATL.

Of course, the NEDC range rating of 588 km (365 miles) is far too optimistic for a 7-seater, but 400 km (250 miles) of the real-world range should be achievable. It will be interesting to see whether Volkswagen will decide to offer bigger battery options to make the ID.6 more usable.

Here we listed all the specs for both models: ID.6 CROZZ and ID.6 X, but please be aware that there might be some differences in the final product:
