The urban EV which could be dubbed ID.1, will serve as a replacement for the e-Up! offering a more spacious interior and greater range. The automaker confirmed an even more affordable offering starting below the €20,000 ($21,100) mark. If you thought that the ID.2 would be the smallest and cheapest Volkswagen EV, think again. The latter will be front-wheel-drive, proudly wearing the GTX or GTI emblem. Those are already pretty impressive specs, but VW officials confirmed they are working on a hot hatch variant of the ID.2all.

The concept came fitted with a single front-mounted electric motor producing 223 hp (166 kW / 226 PS) and an unspecified battery that is good for 280 miles (450 km) of range. Inside, the 10.9-inch digital instrument cluster and the 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen have retro-styled options for their graphics while the boot has a capacity of 440 liters (15.5 cubic feet) The length of 4,050 mm (160 inches) is similar to the ICE-powered Polo, but the packaging of its MEB underpinnings results in a spacious Golf-sized cabin. The EV which has styling references to the original Golf, will slot below the ID.3 in the VW range. What is more important is the promised starting price of €25,000 ($27,000) making it accessible to more buyers. It is not clear if the production version that will follow in 2025 will be called ID.2 or adopt the more nostalgic ID. One of the most anticipated premieres for European buyers is the EV hatchback that was recently previewed by the ID.2all concept. The facelifted SUVs are expected to gain similar upgrades with the ID.3, including improved quality inside the cabin. This is exactly four years after their original debuts, in line with Volkswagen’s strategy. Next year will be the turn of the ID.4 for a mid-lifecycle update, with the closely-related ID.5 coupe-SUV likely following in 2025. When it arrives, it will serve as a low-slung alternative to SUVs offering a similar level of practicality while mirroring the technical specifications and design of the ID.7 sedan. The zero-emission equivalent to the ICE-powered Passat Variant that will also get a new generation was closely previewed by the 2019 VW ID.

In 2024, VW is expected to show the estate bodystyle variant of the ID.7, further expanding its EV range to cover new segments. We have yet to learn which models will get the R treatment but those will certainly pack more power and offer more extreme performance than the lesser GTX (electric), GTI (petrol), GTE (PHEV), and GTD (diesel) derivatives.Ģ025 VW ID.7 Wagon The estate variant of the ID.7 will look similar to the pictured ID. Mind you, VW is also working on full-blown R variants of some of its electric models, as the performance sub-brand will go EV-only by 2030. This is most likely close to the limit of the MEB Plus architecture with the current battery tech and capacity. VW didn’t announce the technical specifications of the ID.7 but promised an electric range of up to 700 km (435 miles). If you are wondering about the presence of the touch-sensitive steering wheel buttons, VW recently promised to get rid of them in all of its models, but this will happen later as part of a model year update. The latter features a 15-inch free-standing infotainment touchscreen, a smaller digital instrument cluster, an augmented reality head-up display, and digitally controlled “Smart Air Vents” for the air conditioning system. The production version of the 2022 ID.Aero concept was previewed at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, hiding its slightly toned-down styling features under a fancy camouflage wrap but fully unveiling its interior. The electric sedan will rival the Tesla Model 3 and other similarly-sized models, hoping to steal a portion of the sales pie in major markets including China, Europe, and North America. Next up is the 2024 VW ID.7 which is scheduled to debut on April 17 at the Shanghai Auto Show, with parallel events taking place in Germany and in the US. Unlike the camoulfaged exterior, the interior of the ID.7 has already been revealed in its full glory.
