The new ID. Polo is already garnering prestigious awards shortly after its market launch. They recognise both the overall package of the new all-electric small car and its design. Another prize was added yesterday evening: the ID. Polo received the Golden Steering Wheel 2026 in the Best car under 25,000 euros category. It had already been chosen as the overall winner of the German Car of the Year 2027 and won the coveted Autonis design award in the small car category.
The Brand Group Core (BGC) closed the first nine months of 2026 with an operating result of 4.33 billion euros, compared with 4.72 billion euros in the previous year. The operating margin therefore declined from 4.4% to 4.1%.
Unit sales of 3.75 million vehicles and sales revenue of 106.4 billion euros were virtually on a par with the previous year.
Volkswagen is now starting pre-sales for the new ID. Cross with a 37 kWh battery. This version is primarily aimed at customers who mainly drive in urban traffic and on typical commuting routes and at the same time value an attractive entry-level price. The battery can be optionally combined with 85 kW (116 PS) and 99 kW (135 PS) drive systems and is available in the Trend, Life and Style equipment lines. Prices for the ID. Cross Trend (85 kW) start at 27,995 euros in Germany.
