ID. family

Volkswagen is opening the doors to the all-new ID. Polo for the first time, offering an exciting glimpse into the interior of its future models. The new holistic design approach, shaped especially by customer feedback, will define the cockpit of upcoming ID. models. Features include new clarity and quality, and intuitive controls, with familiar VW operating patterns adopted and further developed. At the same time, a new software generation brings fresh functions to the ID. Polo. The charm of the 1980s is now present in the vehicle thanks to the retro display: with a single button press, the digital instrument displays transform into screen views reminiscent of the first Golf.

The countdown to the new ID. Polo is on: Just a few months before its world premiere, a fleet of almost production-ready ID. Polo prototypes is covering the final test kilometres in numerous regions worldwide. The goal: to achieve the highest quality and perfection in detail, as well as fine-tuning the driving characteristics.

With the ‘Goldene Lenkrad’ (The Golden Steering Wheel) award, the trade magazine AUTO BILD and the BILD am SONNTAG newspaper recognise outstanding new models every year. This year, the Volkswagen brand has achieved exceptional success and is the first manufacturer in the 49-year history of the Golden Steering Wheel to win in as many as four categories. The Golf GTI EDITION 50 prevails in the compact class against two electrically powered competitors, while the ID.7 GTX Tourer wins in the upper mid-size class against two models from German premium manufacturers. The new Tayron wins as the best family car against two SUVs from the Czech Republic and Sweden, and the new T-Roc, which will be available at dealerships from this week, receives the editorial prize as "Best car under 40,000 euros".

A bestseller becomes electric. Volkswagen has reinvented the Polo, a vehicle that has been sold more than 20 million times: 50 years after the debut of the first generation, the first electric version of the bestseller is ready to go with the new ID. Polo. Official pre-sales will start in around just five months – at the end of April 2026. The final test drives to fine-tune the new Volkswagen are currently underway around the globe. As part of these test drives with still camouflaged pre-production cars, Volkswagen is now opening the doors of the ID. Polo to the international media for the first time. It will be the first production model to be based on the technology from the new evolutionary stage of the modular electric drive (MEB) platform: the MEB+. With the enhanced hardware and software from the MEB+, Volkswagen is bringing a new range of innovations on board its ID. models. These include a new electric front-wheel drive developed specifically for the more compact VW product lines – this is used as a new feature in the ID. Polo. In the smaller vehicle classes, the new drive system offers significant advantages in terms of both available space and price. To give you an idea of the price point: the entry-level ID. Polo will be launched in many markets at prices of less than 25,000 euros. This compact Volkswagen model has been a collaborative project within the Brand Group Core: CUPRA was responsible for project management, whilst the Volkswagen Design Centre in Wolfsburg was where the design process for the ID. Polo took place. The electric Polo’s essential technologies – e.g., the assist systems, drive, running gear and steering – are based on the MEB+ modular system developed by Volkswagen. The ID. Polo is built at SEAT & CUPRA’s Martorell plant in Spain, making it a true European.

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.
