Concept by Italdesign
Italdesign developed the EVX as a futuristic two-door coupe-crossover concept. Volkswagen is showcasing this car in virtual space at the IAA Mobility show in Munich.
Design and Features
Concept cars often ignite the imagination, and the Volkswagen EVX is no exception. With sharp angles and an aggressive stance, it looks like a true futuristic coupe-crossover. However, despite its attractive shape, its chances of serial production are practically zero. Developed by Italdesign specialists, the EVX is a 2+2 coupe built on the VW Group’s MEB+ platform.
The use of the term “coupe” for the EVX might be a bit of a stretch, but fortunately, it has two doors, unlike most crossovers that merely have a sloping roofline.
Its dimensions are 166.5 inches (4,230 mm) in length, 71.6 inches (1,820 mm) in width, and 58.6 inches (1,490 mm) in height, making it approximately 4.7 inches (120 mm) longer than the VW T-Cross, 2.3 inches (60 mm) wider, and 3.4 inches (87 mm) lower.
Uniqueness of the Approach
It seems Italdesign, which is owned by the VW Group, was given complete freedom in creating this car, not being limited by the influences of existing Volkswagen models. This allowed for the creation of a car that is unlike any other VW Group product, and if it were to be produced, it would certainly stand out among the numerous crossovers on the market. Some features are reminiscent of the latest generation Toyota C-HR for Europe, but without excessive extravagance.
The front features a darkened lower radiator grille and two triangular air intakes with small LED daytime running lights. The sharp LED headlights and the hood with numerous bends and lines also attract attention.
Exterior and Details
The side of the concept showcases camera-based mirrors mounted on the A-pillars, two-tone wheels in silver and black, and muscular rear arches. The rear continues the dramatic image with a steeply sloping rear window, thin LED taillights, and a darkened bumper.
Future of the Concept
For now, Volkswagen is presenting the EVX only virtually at the auto show in Munich. It remains uncertain whether a similar design could ever reach serial production, but if it did, it would certainly change the familiar crossover formula. The question is whether such a model would truly attract attention on the road or would just seem like another electric crossover trying too hard.
Given the automotive industry’s trends towards electric vehicles and unique design, such concepts can become a source of inspiration for future production models, even if the EVX itself does not go into production. Such projects demonstrate how technology and creativity can combine, offering new perspectives on the future of transportation.
