Not sure … but still it’s very very little. Not even the weight of a person!
But with 208 horsepower, I guess the car itself must be very heavy!
The concept’s front-wheel drive motor spits out 155kW of power, which is the equivalent of around 208 horsepower. It has a range of 420km (260 miles) based on the more generous WLTP cycle. And it can hit a top speed of 175 km/h (108 mph). And with a ball coupling, the ID. Cross can haul up to 75 kg (165 lbs), which VW says is enough to transport two e-bikes.

The drawbar load is commonly in that range. It needs to assured that there is still enough load on the front wheels for traction and steering under all circumstances. Even a 2.5 ton trailer can have a drawbar load of only 75 kg.
The ID. Cross should be able to haul a 1,2 ton trailer.
It seems like the author was confused, as the drawbar load and the weight of the trailer the car can haul are two separate things. It is correctly stated in the official press release of VW, which is probably their source. (see updated link in my above comment)
Thats probably the drawbar load (Stützlast), not the maximum weight of the trailer. Otherwise, I agree, this would be ridiculous.

Funny that they don’t mention that at all in the article!
