The design of the entire body was uncompromisingly subjected to the aerodynamic efficiency. In
front, the new XL1 exhibits the greatest width; the car then narrows towards the rear. Viewed
from above, the form of the XL1 resembles that of a dolphin; especially at the rear, where the
lines optimally conform to the air flow over the car body to reduce the Volkswagens
aerodynamic drag.

Replacing the side mirrors are

small cameras that send images
of the surroundings behind the car
to two displays inside the vehicle.
The front end of the new XL1 no
longer exhibits the typical radiator
grille; however, it still reflects the
styling of the current Volkswagen
design
DNA
with
a
predominance of horizontal lines.

There is a black cross-stripe (in the area where there is no longer a radiator grille) that combines
with the energy-efficient dual LED headlights to form a continuous band. The actual air intake for
cooling the TDI engine,
battery and interior is located
in the lower front end section
and
has
electrically
controlled louvres.
The narrow turn indicators

are also designed in LED
technology; these form an L
shape which vertically follows
the wheel housing and
horizontally a line beneath the headlights.
The XL1 0-100 km/hr in 11.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/hr. 23.2 % of the car
is made without iron or steel and the light weight construction is done by volkswagen's patented
carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and resin transfer moulding process.
