The Supermini-Sized EV Coming With A €20k Base Price
The ID.2 was previewed by the ID.LIFE concept car in Munich last September. The production version might be years away, as it is scheduled for a late 2025 premiere, but the fully working prototype gives us a good idea of the design language.
Judging from the ID.LIFE, the ID.2 will have a similar footprint to the ICE-powered VW T-Cross B-SUV. The concept car measured 4,091 mm (161 inches) in length, 1,845 mm (78.6 inches) in width, and 1,599 mm (62.9 inches) in height, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm (104.3 inches).
Entry-level Volkswagen ID 2 completely redesigned as compact hatch and tipped to take Golf name.
Scheduled to go on sale in 2025 at a targeted base price of €22,500 (£20,135) in today’s money, the compact five-seater is being lined up to get the Golf name, according to Wolfsburg insiders.
The Volkswagen ID.2, also known as the ID.Polo, is poised to be a significant model for the brand, staying true to the design of the ID.2All concept with its own unique identity.
Spy shots reveal a production model that is remarkably similar to the concept, indicating that Volkswagen is committed to preserving the essence of the ID design.
This model is not only a new chapter in styling but also represents a new era of technology and affordability in the electric vehicle market.
Expected to arrive in 2026, the ID.2 will be underpinned by a new platform, MEB Entry, and will offer a competitive starting price, enhancing the brand’s position as a leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
The interior makes a departure from the fully touch-based controls of previous ID models, reintroducing physical controls for better usability, and the car will be available with a variety of powertrains and battery sizes.
The 2026 Volkswagen ID.2 entry-level EV has been spied during high-altitude testing, showcasing its unique design elements and potential features such as hidden rear door handles, tow bar, and possible high-performance variants.
The Volkswagen ID. Polo, set to launch in 2026, introduces new front-wheel-drive options with power outputs ranging from 85 kW to 166 kW, and features both LFP and NMC battery technologies, with prices starting below €25,000 on many markets.
Volkswagen has unveiled the new ID. Polo GTI during winter testing, but it’s not the only version in Sweden. The German automaker has brought along a good number of the highly anticipated electric hatchback, revealing the R-Line in these spy photos.
