E-mobility

Four entry-level electric models. Three brands. Almost 150,000 orders. Already a joint success story for affordable electric mobility.

Volkswagen presents the new ID. Tiguan, one of the brand’s most important electric models for the years ahead. The new all-round SUV in the high-volume mid-size class succeeds the ID.4 and ID.5 models. The ID. Tiguan’s hallmark feature is its completely redesigned exterior, which gives it the appearance of a vehicle from the next class up. And this impression continues seamlessly into the strikingly high-quality interior: the materials used have resulted in a huge leap forwards in terms of quality, complemented by the newly developed, intuitive cockpit landscape. For the first time, the new SUV will be available with a co-driver display. The electrically powered ID. Tiguan will be launched as early as the beginning of 2027 – in parallel to the current Tiguan with petrol, diesel and hybrid drives.

Volkswagen is starting a new chapter in the 50-year history of the GTI: Pre-sale of the all-new ID. Polo GTI begins today, Wednesday. The first all-electric model with the GTI label brings the legendary GTI driving pleasure into the electric future: with spontaneous response, precise handling and a sporty, confident appearance. The 166 kW (226 PS) compact sports car is available with extensive standard equipment from 39,995 euros.

New electric all-round sports car. For exactly 50 years, the three letters GTI have stood for a unique mixture of sportiness, coolness and understatement. At the beginning of the year, Volkswagen celebrated the GTI’s birthday with the anniversary model Golf GTI EDITION 50. In May, the world premiere of the first electric GTI followed with the ID. Polo GTI. Now Volkswagen is carrying the GTI feeling forward into the age of electric mobility with the new ID.3 GTI. And this GTI is also a true performance model that will seamlessly build on the legacy of its numerous predecessors with its drive dynamics and precise handling characteristics. What’s more, with an output of 240 kW (326 PS), the ID.3 GTI is the most powerful production GTI Volkswagen has ever built. The other key figures of the compact sports car developed on the basis of the ID.3 Neo: an impressive maximum torque of 545 Nm from standstill, 5.6 seconds for the sprint to 100 km/h, a top speed of 200 km/h (limited) and a WLTP range (forecast) of up to 601 km. The special technical features of the GTI include the newly designed GTI mode with Launch Control and a sharpened, electronically controlled sports chassis. In addition, the ID.3 GTI offers a newly designed front end, specific 20-inch alloy wheels and a redesigned interior with an intuitive cockpit and ergonomic sports seats. GTI fans will also be delighted with the classic colour Tornado Red, which was first offered in the 1980s for the first time for the second-generation Golf GTI. The ID.3 GTI will be launched in the first quarter of next year.

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.
