Newest Volkswagen ID designed by Hungarian designers

Volkswagen showed the first official photos and one video of the ID prototypes tested in Africa. The newest Volkswagen goes into production in 2019, and what is really interesting is that its chassis will be designed by two Hungarian designers.

The model is expected to be revolutionary, Origo reports.

Body designed by two Hungarians

Hungarian designers László Fogarasi-Benkő and Ákos Szász are the ones who designed the new Volkswagen ID’s chassis. They worked together with Director of Volkswagen Design, Klaus Bischoff in Wolfsburg.

Pre-sales start in the spring of 2019, and production starts only in November 2019. Customer sales will start at the start of 2020, at a price comparable to a diesel model.
