Such concrete statements are rather rare. The start of production of the first model of the I.D. family should take place exactly in 100 weeks, ie in less than two years. Even the other models are based on the Modular E-drive kit. Production location from the end of 2019 is Zwickau.

Who would have thought after the fall of the GDR that the city, once with Horch and Audi cradle of Saxon automobile production, would once again gain such importance. Whether, however, all 32 models within the then following five years can be produced there, remains questionable. Presumably, these line up in the series with the internal combustion engine models.

Allegedly, the communication with the suppliers will begin even earlier to incorporate their ideas into the concept. One speaks of 'gearing' and 'eye level'. Much is also announced for autonomous driving, even driving without possible direct steering intervention, but at these production dates we remain skeptical.

The I.D. CROZZ and the third in the league, the I.D. BUZZ, are also promised for 2020. However, the I.D. BUZZ even before the CROZZ middle of the year. That could be too late for the CROZZ. Striking are the missing B-pillars and the rear sliding doors, as the front doors also by voice command to be opened. In the interior, so-called 'smart lights' indicate whether one has found a hearing. A so-called carpet of light is also possible in the roof. 12/17
