Are we finally going to know the name of the electric sedan currently known as the Aero B?
In recent years, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held every January in Las Vegas, United States, has become a popular place for car manufacturers to debut new automotive technologies or even entire models.
The last one to happen is Volkswagen's at CES 2023 with an announcement for its "newest member" electric vehicles.
The key word here is the announcement as CES will not see the full debut of the next electric VeeDub.
The automaker says a camouflaged version of the new EV will be revealed, along with its official name.
This leads us to believe that we will see a production (though still wrapped in camouflage) version of the ID. Aero concept sedan that debuted in late June.
We've seen highway prototypes wearing smart disguises, so the official announcement of the production model in a new camouflage wrap (with its official name) would be ideal for CES.
If this announcement is indeed a production version of the Aero ID, it likely won't be too far from the concept.
On its debut, VW said the Aero concept had a drag coefficient of 0.23, contributing to the impressive WLTP range of 385 miles (619 km).
Nothing is known as far as horsepower or torque figures, but it is believed the Aero will replace the Arteon as VW's sizable luxury sedan.
As for the name of the production, there is nothing official but it can be called ID.7.
Sticking to the world of VW concept vehicles recently, the boxy Gen.Travel was featured in September as a design study to look at future mobility.

It's a fully autonomous form of getting around travel, and while anything is possible, it's highly unlikely we'll see something like this announced at CES.Sticking to the world of VW concept vehicles recently, the boxy Gen.Travel was featured in September as a design study to look at future mobility.
