E-mobility

The all-new electric ID. Polo has finished first in the Budget category at the German Car of the Year (GCOTY) awards, sending out a powerful signal: Volkswagen is bringing electric mobility into the heart of the small car segment – making it attractive, affordable and practical for everyday use. Volkswagen’s all-electric small car triumphed over seven competitors, securing first place ahead of the Renault Twingo and Renault Clio. The international jury was impressed by the ID. Polo, awarding it top marks in four out of five key evaluation categories.

With the new Mission Efficiency, Volkswagen is presenting the world's most efficient near-production electric car. The prototype has set three world records. They stand for exemplary aerodynamics and excellent ideal and real fuel consumption. The vehicle is a beacon of technology and at the same time demonstrates the performance of Volkswagen's production technology.

Volkswagen is starting pre-sales for the new ID. Polo with a 37-kWh battery with immediate effect. It enables entry into electric mobility at great value for money and is optimally tailored to the requirements of everyday urban life. The Trend model marks the start from 24,995 euros. The Life and Style specification lines can also be combined with the 37-kWh battery and are available from 29,195 euros. The variant with a smaller battery is being launched just a few weeks after the ID. Polo with the 52-kWh battery.

Three world records. Volkswagen presents the world’s most efficient e-vehicle with the new Mission Efficiency. The concept vehicle has just set three world records. Record numberone: with a Cd value of 0.158, the concept vehicle glides through the air more aerodynamically than any other vehicle ever approved for road use. Record number two: consumption of 6.48 kWh/100 km during an ‘ideal trip’ where, amongst other things, the speed remains constant (in this case 68 km/h), there are no uphill gradients and auxiliary consumers such as the air conditioning system are deactivated. Record number three: thanks to its aerodynamics and a highly efficient electric drive, the Mission Efficiency is also the most economical near-production e-vehicle ever built.

The all-new ID. Polo – more than just the city. Volkswagen is transferring the Polo’s DNA into the era of electric mobility. The new ID. Polo is an automotive companion for every day of the year that takes practically all everyday requirements in its stride: it is an agile city specialist and an economical long-distance runner with a WLTP consumption of 13.3 kWh/100 km and a range of up to 454 km that is able to effortlessly switch between work and leisure time. Thanks to good space efficiency, a weekend getaway with friends is always on the cards. The interior impresses with premium materials, precise workmanship and a level of quality that is otherwise familiar from higher vehicle classes. Operation of all features is just like it should be: intuitive, simple and with no extra steps. The sophisticated digital information and infotainment systems fit into this picture. They support the driver instead of distracting him. On the road, intelligent assist systems such as the new Connected Travel Assist with traffic light recognition help make driving even safer. Exceptionally good comfort and superior driving dynamics also characterise the ID. Polo as the electrified kindred spirit of the larger Golf. The result is a crisp and timelessly styled ID. Polo that is a Volkswagen in the truest sense of the word.
