The latest [electric crossover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/id-cross) starts at the price of $49,795 when it features the $1,295 destination fee, which is about $7,100 more than the foundational 2022 model. The Wind now costs $1,000 more than it did last year with a new "power liftgate, vehicle-to-device power ports, Meridian audio, and ventilated leather seats." There is also the option of an additional [tech package](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-model-y) that was previously only exclusive to the Wind AWD with blind spot and supportive surround views, remote start parking aids, and a parking collision avoidance feature. Additional trims also help with elevated touches of performance and overall intelligence.
