VW REGAINS ITS EV SPARK

ISSUE 1,873 NOT satisfied with promising a sub-£25,000 EV next year with its new ID.

- 

Polo, VW revealed its most ambitious electric-car project yet in the new ID. Every1 Concept back in March. This cute show car foreshadows a future city-sized model, probably called ID. Lupo, due in 2027 with a proposed £17,000 starting price.

But for VW this is more than just an exercise in building a cheap electric car; it's a display of how much the German brand is committed to creating EVs for the European masses. To be built on the MEB+ platform that's about to be used under the new ID. Polo, this A-segment model should have a battery size of around 35 to 40kWh, powering the front wheels via a small electric motor.
