The world premiere of the all-new electric ID. Polo is a significant milestone in the automotive industry, marking a new era for one of the most successful models in Volkswagen's history. Sold over 20 million times, the Polo is now entering a new chapter, completely reimagined and systematically geared towards the future. This electric version, developed in Wolfsburg, combines clear design, generous space, and high quality with an attractive entry-level price, starting from 24,995 euros in Germany. The ID. Polo sets technological standards, offering a WLTP range of up to 454 km and innovative features like the Connected Travel Assist with automatic traffic light recognition, efficient one-pedal driving, and vehicle-to-load function, turning it into a mobile power source for devices such as e-bikes.
One of the most striking aspects of the ID. Polo is its design, which follows the new Volkswagen Pure Positive design language. The result is a compact car with clear proportions, iconic design features, and a powerful rear that has a very high-quality, timeless, and charismatic appearance. The interior is characterized by intelligent interior architecture, high-quality materials, and excellent ergonomics, with loving attention to detail evident in specification-dependent details.
The new cockpit landscape is particularly striking in the ID. Polo. The Digital Cockpit with a diagonal of 26.0 cm (10 inches) is arranged on the visual axis, while the touch display of the new Innovision infotainment system is located centrally in the dash panel and is easy to reach for both the driver and front passenger. The high-quality overall impression is rounded off by clearly designed and ideally accessible controls, modern displays and graphics, as well as innovative features such as the 'retro display', which brings a touch of nostalgia to the digital instruments.
The ID. Polo is available in three equipment lines: Trend, Life, and Style. The Trend is the entry-level version with DC quick-charging function and assist systems such as Side Assist and Lane Assist. The Life is the comfort equipment with Adaptive Cruise Control, while the Style is the top-of-the-range version with IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights and sport comfort seats. The ID. Polo is also available with optional equipment, including a high-end sound system from Harman Kardon and a large panoramic glass roof.
In terms of performance, the ID. Polo offers three output levels with 85 kW (116 PS), 99 kW (135 PS), and 155 kW (211 PS). The 85 kW and 99 kW versions are equipped as standard with a 37 kWh (net) LFP battery, while the 155 kW drive is powered by an NMC battery with an energy content of 52 kWh (net). The ID. Polo is also one of the first Volkswagen models that can supply power to external devices, turning it into a power socket on the road for devices such as e-bikes.
The ID. Polo is available to order now in Germany, with pre-sales starting today. At the market launch, the all-electric compact model will be available with one motor variant. Prices start from 33,795 euros for the ID. Polo Life with 155 kW (211 PS) and 52 kWh battery. The base version at a price of 24,995 euros and further drive and equipment variants will follow in the summer.
In conclusion, the world premiere of the all-new electric ID. Polo is a significant milestone in the automotive industry, marking a new era for one of the most successful models in Volkswagen's history. The ID. Polo sets technological standards, offering a WLTP range of up to 454 km and innovative features like the Connected Travel Assist with automatic traffic light recognition.
