Marque reveals entry-level EV

Volkswagen has unveiled the ID. EVERY1 show car, which the German carmaker plans to turn into an entry-level, all-electric production model in the next two years. 

A production version of the concept vehicle is set to be launched in 2027 with a starting price of about €20,000 (about NZ$37,700). 

Volkswagen adds another concept vehicle, the ID. 2all, is set to be launched in the €25,000 class as early as in 2026. 

Both models are based on the automotive group’s new modular electric drive (MEB) platform with front-wheel drive.

Thomas Schafer, chief executive of VW passenger cars, says: “The ID. EVERY1 represents the last piece of the puzzle on our way to the widest model selection in the volume segment. 

“We will then offer every customer the right car with the right drive system – including affordable all-electric entry-level mobility.”

The production version of the ID. EVERY1 will be the group’s first model to use a new, powerful software architecture, which means it can be equipped with new functions throughout its life cycle.

The concept vehicle has a top speed of 130kph, is powered by a newly developed electric drive motor with 70kW and offers a driving range of at least 250km.

Measuring 3,880mm long, the ID. EVERY1 has space for four people and a luggage compartment volume of 305 litres.

The development of the car is part of Volkswagen’s three-phase plan for the future.

VW says it wants to strengthen competitiveness and expand its existing model range in a targeted manner, have nine new models by 2027, including the ID. EVERY1, and become the technologically leading high-volume manufacturer with the safest, most innovative and best-selling cars by 2030.
