The SUV gets a 450-litre capacity boot storage, while there is a 25-litre frunk as well. Despite being a compact SUV, the ID. Cross gets an upmarket vibe inside the cabin. The cabin comes with a lounge-style ambience. The OEM claims it gets high-quality material, including fabric-covered surfaces. It also comes packing pre-configured light, sound and climate modes. The interior boasts a shade of beige, dubbed Vanilla Chai. Key highlights inside the cabin include digital screens with plant motifs and real plants in the visually floating centre console, which focus on the environmentally friendly nature of the vehicle.
