Learn Electric Cars Says
The electric crossover was unveiled in Cologne, Germany. Note that it is somewhat similar in size to the VW ID.5. The official prices are not out yet. Nevertheless, I expect it to be pricier than the Ford Explorer EV. Hence, a $50,000 price tag would be my estimate. For concrete details, we shall have to wait a bit longer.
