Speaking about its design, the teaser has shown the electric sedan's sharp LED headlamps and integrated LED daytime running lights. Also, there would be a sculpted bumper with black mesh and delta-shaped air vents. Being an electric sedan, it will have no conventional front grille, but a body panel.

It's not clear the upcoming pure electric sedan will be christened as Aero B or as ID. Aero. However, Diess confirmed that it will be the electric alternative for the Volkswagen Passat. He also revealed that this electric sedan will be based on the automaker's MEB architecture, a modular platform meant for electric vehicles.

The upcoming electric sedan will follow the ID.3, ID.4, ID. Buzz. Interestingly, all these electric vehicles have arrived as the all-electric alternative of the models like Golf, Tiguan and T7 respectively. The Volkswagen Aero B could come with a short rear section, similar to the Arteon. The automaker is also likely to continue selling the fossil fuel engine powered-Passat sedan along with the Aero B.

Volkswagen aims to become a large player in the global electric vehicle market, as the world automotive industry is shifting to clean mobility. The automaker has already announced its plan to launch a wide range of electric vehicles by the end of this decade. The upcoming electric sedan will be one of them.
