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.
Spy photos of the upcoming 2026 Volkswagen ID. Polo reveal design and performance specs for its GTI and R-Line trims, highlighting styling cues, platform tech, and powertrain options.
The R-Line trim offers sporty aesthetics (larger wheels, aggressive bumpers, sportier cabin) without performance upgrades.
The GTI variant features unique wheels, red brake calipers, honeycomb mesh intakes, and 166 kW (223 hp) output.
