Much more than a city car: world premiere of the all-new electric ID. Polo

Volkswagen is presenting the new ID. Polo and thus the all-electric version of one of the most successful models in its history. Sold over 20 million times, the Polo is now entering a new chapter – completely reimagined and systematically geared towards the future. Developed in Wolfsburg, the ID. Polo combines clear design, generous space and high quality with an attractive entry-level price starting from 24,995 euros (in Germany). The small car also sets technological standards: with a WLTP range of up to 454 km and the new Connected Travel Assist, including automatic traffic light recognition, efficient one-pedal driving or vehicle-to-load function that turns the ID. Polo into a mobile power source for devices such as e-bikes. Pre-sales of the new ID. Polo already start today, Wednesday (in Germany).

Electrification made easy: Volkswagen presents new full hybrid for Golf and T-Roc

Volkswagen has developed a new full hybrid drive that combines temporary electric driving with high efficiency and a long range. The new drive system is scheduled to be used in the Golf Hybrid and T-Roc Hybrid from the fourth quarter of the year. The new hybrid models are not dependent on charging cables and charging infrastructure: the energy for the electric drive phases is recovered on board these Volkswagen models by means of recuperation and using a turbocharged petrol engine in combination with a generator. The new full hybrid system will in future be offered in two output levels and offers reduced fuel consumption compared with a mild hybrid drive. Volkswagen will present the details of the new drive system in the Austrian capital Vienna as part of the International Vienna Motor Symposium (22 to 24 April 2026).
