The ID family is made up of five models: the ID.3 compact, the ID.4 midsize SUV and its ID.5 “coupé” version, the ID.6 executive SUV (sold exclusively in China), and the ID van. Buzz. Despite its youth, Volkswagen is already working on a remodeling of this lineup, including certain modifications to its nomenclature system.

This could bring some changes, see the transformation of ID.4 into the ID.4 X and ID.5 into the ID.4 Coupé. Of course, future members of the ID. will use the new system from the beginning.
