Volkswagen engineers were seen testing the battery-electric sedan which is likely to replace the Arteon.
This sedan is the production version 2018’s ID.Vizzion Concept Car. It will most likely become a wagon model inspired by 2019’s ID.Space Vizzion (shown above).
While the prototype looks camouflaged and has stickers on the grilles and lights, the final design should look like the ID.Space Vizzion. It will also be obvious that exhaust tips have stickers.

The ID.6 name for the sedan is most likely. Herbert Diess (CEO of VW Group parent VW), confirmed in July plans to call the new sedan an ID.6. A Passat-like electric car will be named an ID.6. An Atlas-sized crossover will be called an ID.8. Not to be confused with the ID.6 X or ID.6 Crozz crossover models that VW currently sells in China, but these are not hybrids.
Although Diess described the ID.6 Passat-like, VW will continue to offer Passats with internal-combustion power on some markets. However, it is unlikely that this Passat will be available in the U.S. Based on the updated MQB platform of VW Group, this new Passat is based on which we are missing.
VW’s MEB platform will be used by the ID.6 to transport mainstream EVs. The ID.Vizzion concept, also using the MEB platform for mainstream EVs, had 82-kilowatt hour batteries which VW claimed gave them 300 miles. To appeal to fans, the concepts only sent the 275 horsepower to their rear wheels. VW suggests that the all-wheel drive setup with a dual motor and all-wheel drive could generate 355 HP.

Last November, VW Group announced that it would build the four-door VW electric vehicle (code-named Aero) at its Emden plant, Germany. This will be done starting in 2023. It currently produces the ID.4 and the related Arteon. VW Group announced that the production of Passats will move to Bratislava (Slovakia) in 2023. It is likely that the ID.6 model, which will be made in Emden, was not mentioned as the fate for the Arteon.
VW is rumored to be launching the ID.Vizzion production model in America, which will likely replace the Arteon and Passat. Volkswagen has hinted that it might bring over an ID.7 version of its ID.Space Vizzion. It is possible that an electric vehicle will soon be available in our area.
We’ll probably see the ID.6 as a 2024 model, with production expected to begin in 2023. In the U.S., VW’s modern Microbus will be available for sale in 2024. It’s based upon 2017’s ID.Buzz model. Aside from that, the next-generation Microbus will be on sale.
