VW EVX Concept Revealed: Futuristic Electric Coupe Crossover

Volkswagen shocked all of us at the IAA Mobility Show 2025 in Munich by presenting the EVX, a two-door electric coupe crossover designed by Italdesign. In contrast to most unveils of a new car, the EVX was not driven onto a stage — it was unveiled in a video format, leaving fans stunned and slightly irritated. Featuring an interesting roofline, bool stance and hints of futurism, the EVX feels more like a sci-fi vehicle than something that could show up in a dealer's showroom. Still, it boldly demonstrates what Volkswagen may be able to accomplish in the EV era.

VW EVX Exterior and Interior Design

The EVX is not just another SUV or coupe. Italdesign supplied the codemastered a two-door layout as a crossover with a 2+2 seating arrangement. This means full-size seats for the front passengers, and rear seats that are suitable for shorter trips or kids. It measures about 166.5 inches long and 71.6 inches wide, resulting in compact dimensions but a wide, athletic stance. It features sharp, LED lights, hidden handles, and A-pillar camera mirrors for a future-oriented feel. It feels like a concept sketch and not an industry product from an established manufacturer.

Key Design Highlights

• Two-door crossover coupe design
• 2+2 seating for a sporty but semi practical interior
• Camera mirrors instead of traditional side mirrors
• Coupe roofline blended with crossover stance

Built on Volkswagen Electric Platform VW EVX

The EVX may have a sleek design, but underneath, it's built on VW’s MEB+ platform. The MEB+ is already the basis for numerous EVs at Volkswagen, but Italdesign built the EVX as a way to play around with the platform in different ways. No specs have yet been released, but the platform could accommodate various motor configurations, potentially accommodating front-wheel (or even all-wheel) drive. This means the EVX is less about performance figures and more about showing people everything the MEB+ platform is capable of when the constraints of mass production don't apply.

What the MEB+ platform means

• Supports a range of motor configurations
• Can extend from small EVs to large vehicles
• Provides adaptability to promote design choice in concepts

VW EVX Concept Shown as a Virtual Car

Volkswagen didn't actually have a true prototype on display at IAA 2025. They showed the EVX as a holographic model. This may sound strange, but it is becoming standard for automakers to go digital first. Not only is it a more cost-effective and quicker way to test design concepts, it also creates hype without the expensive expense to assemble a full-sized show car. The down side for fans is that they have no way to get inside, open doors, or hear it start. The up side to VW is they can quickly measure all reactions and determine early on which visuals can and should carry over into their future production cars.

Why a virtual showcase matters

• Quicker and inexpensive than creating a prototype
• Allows designers to gauge public reaction
• Demonstrates the automobile industry shift to digital displays

VW EVX Performance Details

Since the EVX is just a design concept, Volkswagen has not yet published performance specifications like battery size, horsepower, or range. But since it is based on the MEB+ architecture, there are some informed speculations possible. Current VW EVs based on the same platform achieve ranges of between 250–350 miles depending on battery size, and can deliver up to 300 hp with dual motor configurations. If the EVX was a reality (not design) it might have fit somewhere in that range - sporty looks paired with regular EV fitment. But right now we are left with speculation.

Will the VW EVX Come to the US Market

Here’s the big question: is there any chance U.S. buyers will ever go to a dealership and see an EVX in the flesh? The short answer is no. Sources are saying that it is not going to be built and just remains a design study. However, American buyers shouldn’t completely disregard the EVX. In the past, automakers have sometimes used concept cars to preview future vehicles. For example, the coupe-like roofline, maybe the cleaner proportions, and the supercool mirror tech could end up in future U.S.-market VW EVs. Perhaps think of the EVX as serving as a preview of what design language VW may use in the next few years.

Conclusion

While the EVX may never see the inside of a factory, it shows that Volkswagen and Italdesign are not afraid to take chances. The EV space is sometimes accused of playing it too safe, with too many similarly designed SUVs. The EVX scrubs that narrative by being the bold combination of sporty looks and crossover utility. This is a design really worth watching for automotive enthusiasts in the U.S. You may be years away from writing a check for one of these rides, but hopefully this concept will inspire the one you do.
