ID. family

The ID. Cross will be launched on the European market from autumn 2026. The model will be available from a starting price of around 28,000 euros. The five-seater is aimed at customers who want to enjoy first-class electric mobility that is suitable for everyday use and affordable. The ID. Cross can be currently seen in Amsterdam in a striking camouflage wrap.

The successor to the ID.3 is in the starting blocks with a new name and will celebrate its world premiere as the ID.3 Neo in mid-April. Thanks to the latest software generation, the electric compact model comes with a host of new functions. These include, for example, the enhanced Travel Assist with traffic light detection and One Pedal Driving, where the vehicle recuperates until it comes to a standstill. The ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7 are already available to order as the first models equipped with this software, the above-mentioned functions and the new Innovision infotainment system. In addition, all new ID. models now have the option of supplying power to external devices – from electric grills to e-bikes – with an output of up to 3.6 kW directly from the high-voltage battery using the Vehicle-to-Load function.

The Volkswagen brand has reached another milestone in its electrification strategy – delivery of two million all-electric vehicles to customers. The two millionth vehicle is an ID.3, produced at the Volkswagen Zwickau plant. The anniversary ID.3 was handed over to Kirsten Vormbrock at the Transparent Factory in Dresden this week.

The start of something new. Volkswagen has developed a brand-new portfolio of small and compact electric vehicle models in Europe and for Europe. Affordable electric vehicles for city life or weekend breaks, for commuting to work and heading off on holiday. Good value for money, a new design language, visible and tangible quality, technologies at the level of the next higher class and intuitive operation are factors that are common to all Volkswagen electric vehicles. The new models are called the ID. Polo, ID. Cross, ID.3 Neo, ID. Polo GTI and ID.3 GTI. They mark the start of a new era: True Volkswagen. At the heart of it all is a focus on our intrinsic strengths with the aim of bringing electric mobility to the masses with innovative and affordable Volkswagen models, made in Europe, for Europe.

Potential of a future success model. The countdown is on: Volkswagen will bring the newly developed ID. Cross to the European market in autumn 2026 at prices starting from around 28,000 euros. The technically and visually innovative compact class SUV is characterized by a strikingly stylish and powerful design, a high level of perceived quality, intuitive controls, a comfortable interior with a feel good atmosphere, excellent space efficiency and state of the art drive and assistance systems. Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen brand, Head of the Brand Group Core and Member of the Group Board of Management, says: “The ID. Cross combines technological expertise, clear design, convincing attention to detail and true all round qualities at an excellent price performance ratio. These are the best prerequisites for a new Volkswagen success model.”

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.
