Just a year after the world premiere of the show car, Volkswagen is launching a limited special edition of the ID.3 GTX FIRE+ICE, with an extremely dynamic powertrain, exclusive paintwork and a wealth of design highlights. The model was developed in collaboration with the performance sportswear brand BOGNER FIRE+ICE, part of the Munich-based luxury sports fashion company BOGNER, just like the legendary Golf II Fire and Ice, which became a surprise success in the 90s and now enjoys cult status among fans. In tribute to the original model’s debut year, only 1990 units of the ID.3 GTX FIRE+ICE will be available to order. Prices in Germany start from €56,020.

After around five and a half years of all-electric vehicle production, the Zwickau vehicle plant has cracked a magic barrier: This week, the one millionth electric car rolled off the production line at the multi-brand site. The anniversary vehicle is an ID.3 GTX Performance in Kings Red Metallic. The car will be delivered to a customer from Bavaria in a few weeks at the Transparent Factory in Dresden.

Volkswagen is now telling the rest of the ID. CODE story. The concept car presented in Beijing in 2024 charted the course in terms of design, innovations and customer benefit. Building on this, the brand is now unveiling three new concept cars at Auto Shanghai together with its Chinese joint venture partners. The ID. AURA (from FAW-Volkswagen), the ID. ERA (from SAIC VOLKSWAGEN) and the ID. EVO (from Volkswagen Anhui) are representative of a new generation of smart electric vehicles and give a preview of the product strategy for the coming years. Volkswagen plans to bring out over 30 new models (including 20 NEVs) in the relevant segments of the Chinese market through the end of 2027. These will include production versions of the concept cars now being presented in Shanghai, whose design and technologies have been specifically tailored to the needs of Chinese customers.

With the world premiere of the ID. 2all, Volkswagen presented a concept vehicle for the first time based on the brand’s new design language. This visual language specifically transfers iconic design elements such as the legendary C-pillar of the first Golf into the near future and into new segments. Now the design team has transferred this new language to the concept vehicle of an electric Volkswagen entry-level model: the ID. EVERY1. The style and character of the smallest Volkswagen are shaped by the three central values of the new design language: stability, likeability and secret sauce. Volkswagen Head of Design Andreas Mindt: “The widely flared wheel housings over the large 19-inch wheels and the athletic and clearly designed surfaces of the silhouette ensure stability. The slightly cheeky smile at the front is a particularly likeable feature. A secret sauce element is the roof drawn in in the middle, as is usually known from sports cars. All these design elements lend the ID. EVERY1 a charismatic identity with which people can identify.” The pillars of stability, likeability and the secret sauce shape the design of the ID. EVERY1 in the following way:

Volkswagen presents the world premiere of the sporty ID.3 GTX – the new flagship model in the product line. The ID.3 GTX is a powerhouse that is available with a choice of two different outputs, starting with the new high-efficiency drive in the 210 kW version (286 PS). The ID.3 GTX Performance with 240 kW2 (326 PS) brings even more power into play – the electric compact sports car therefore has the most powerful Volkswagen electric drive motor to date. Both GTX versions effortlessly convert their power into traction at the rear axle. The body and chassis layout offers significant benefits here: with the new 79 kWh battery (net) located in the sandwich floor and precisely in the centre of the vehicle, this design offers a sporty low centre of gravity and ideal axle load distribution. Visually, the GTX models are characterised by an individualised exterior and interior. The range of standard equipment has been expanded significantly. At the same time as the GTX debut, the product line will launch with a completely newly developed infotainment system generation.

They are the two new flagship models of the ID.7 product line and the Volkswagen ID. family: the ID.7 GTX saloon and the ID.7 GTX Tourer estate car. Both electric vehicles are united by a highly dynamic drive performance. One electric drive motor on both the front and rear axles merge on board the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer to form the electric 4MOTION all-wheel drive. System power: 250 kW (340 PS). No other saloon or estate car from Volkswagen currently offers higher performance. The ID.7 GTX Tourer is also the most powerful Volkswagen estate ever built. It passes the 100 km/h mark in just 5.5 seconds. The saloon even completes the classic starting sprint a touch faster, namely in 5.4 seconds. The fascinating character of both GTX models is defined in particular by the noticeable punch with which full power is delivered from one second to the next. The exterior and interior are enhanced by GTX details such as distinctive bumpers and seats. The range of standard equipment has been expanded significantly: the GTX features include new 20-inch Skagen aluminium wheels, IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, 3D LED tail light clusters and illuminated Volkswagen logos at the front and rear.
