E-car is World Car of the Year 2021
Volkswagen is at the top of the podium at the World Car of the Year Awards for the fifth time. The ID.4, Volkswagen's first SUV based on the modular electric drive system (MEB), took first place this year. “The first ID. model for the key markets of Europe, China and the USA takes our electric offensive around the world,” said Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand, at the award ceremony. Vehicles eligible for the World Car of the Year award must be manufactured in at least 10,000 units per year and offered on at least two continents. In addition to the environmental friendliness, the jurors also praised the topic of innovation. For example, the pioneering augmented reality head-up display is optionally on board with the ID.4. It can project important information onto the windshield, including navigation turn arrows. The driver sees these three-dimensionally staggered at an apparent distance of three to ten meters; they integrate perfectly into the real outside world. The ID.4 also sets standards in digitalization. This means he can receive regular updates and new functions “over the air”. Volkswagen is the first provider in the volume segment to offer this from summer. This means the vehicle always remains up to date. This capability is also an important prerequisite for opening up new business models.
