Volkswagen's ID.LIFE concept car looks like a toy car.
The xem phim 18 m?EV was presented late Wednesday at the IAA Mobility 2021 auto show in Munich, Germany, where its lit-up front "grille" and backside and illuminated doors were part of a noticeably smaller package than the usual electric SUVs and crossovers popular with consumers.
The German automaker scaled back on design with a smaller, lighter car that only has front-wheel drive (usually it's in the back). Don't worry, the vehicle can still move quickly, with the electric motor accelerating it from 0 to 62 mph in under 7 seconds.

The inside of the car is a place to be entertained, play games, or relax — all centered around the extendable projector screen, removable roof, and foldable seats. A touchscreen on the hexagonal steering wheel provides all necessary driving information.
