The ID. Cross will be offered with multiple powertrain configurations at launch. The electric crossover is built on the MEB+ architecture, and as such, it has quite a few things in common with the ID.Polo EV. There are three front-mounted motor options including 85 kW, 99 kW and 155 kW variants, which get paired with battery packs of 37 kWh and 52 kWh (net). This broad range of options is intended to cater to buyers with different usage patterns, from daily city commutes to long-distance travel.

Charging capability includes DC fast charging support of up to 90 kW, which increases to 105 kW with the larger battery pack. The vehicle will also feature a suite of driver assistance systems aimed at improving comfort and ease of use.
