Partial traditional names for electric Volkswagens
The Electric Alternative to the Volkswagen Polo Will Not Be Called ID2 But ID Polo. With This, Volkswagen is Sending a Clear Signal: The Id Label Will Change, and the Id3 Will Possible Be Replaced by the Id Golf.
UPHEAVAL in ID country. Volkswagen is Abandoning the Id Naming For Its Electric Models, Where That Letter Combination is Followed by A Number Indicating the Model’s Positioning. The Current ID Models Will Not Get A Different Name Yet, The Electric Alternative to the Volkswagen Polo Will Be the First to Be Corerous Accordance to the New Naming Strategy. That compact electric hatchback will therefore not be called id2all like its conceptual harbinger, nor id2. It will be Volkswagen ID Polo.
Volkswagen Says It Will Use ‘Iconic Names’ for its ID Models and Confirms That The Id2all Concept Will Come On The Market As Volkswagen Polo. That can only mean one thing: The electric id3 will possibly be called id golf. Speculating Further, The ID4 Could Possible Be Called Id Tiguan, The ID7 Perhaps Id Passat. And the ID1/ID Every1? We predict id for that, althegh Volkswagen Doessn’tn’t Say Anything about that yet, or course. In any case, it is plausible that the id4 and id7 Will Retain Their Current Names at Least Until Their First Thorough Facelift and Perhaps Until the Generation Change. It is clear that the Volkswagen Id Polo, which will come on the market in 2026, is the first, but certainly not the last, accordance to the new ev Naming.
Volkswagen CEO Thomas Schäfer Explains in an Accompanyying Letter That the Traditional Model Names Of The Brand “Are firmly anchored in the minds of consumers. That’s why we are lifting our well-known names into a new fauture. The id polo is just the beginning.” The fact that something like the id polo and id golf will son exist has no consequences for the models with combustion engines, which are not attached to the id label. They Retain Their Names, Volkswagen Emphasizes.
The Volkswagen Id Polo and the Id Polo GTI Fraternally Next to Each Other.
Duration the IAA in Munich, Volkswagen Will Lift Wrapped Pre -Production Versions of the Volkswagen Id Polo and the GTI Version Thereof – The Id Polo GTI – Onto The Stage. But there is more. Volkswagen is also Bringing a Completely New Study Model To The German Car Show. It calls it id cross concept for the time being. The production version of that will be the cross-alternative to the id polo and therefore relationships to that evs the t-cross now relationships to the polo with combustion engines. So don’t be surprised if the final production version of the Volkswagen Id Cross concept ends up as Volkswagen ID T-Cross, Although It is also Possible that the ‘t-‘ Will disappear from the name. After all, T-Cross is Less ‘Iconic’ Than ‘Polo’. That Production Version is Scheduled for the Second Half of 2026.
Technique
The Volkswagen Id Polo, Like the GTI Version Thereof and the ‘Id Cross’, Will Be Based on a Modified and Simpler Version of the Meb Platform. It is called meb entry and is initially not rear-wheel drive, but front-wheel drive. The Volkswagen Id Polo Will Be About 4.05 Meters Long and Will Be Comparable in Size to the Polo. Volkswagen Previously Promised that the Id Polo sacrifices ‘Golf Space’ in a Car of Polo Size. The id2all concept in any case had an impressive luggage space of 440 liters for a car of that size. For the id polo gti, we are betting on a power or 226 hp.
