Meet the new Volkswagen ID.One, at least according to the license plate seen in this teaser image. While VW hasn't confirmed the official name yet, they have revealed the price: in Germany, this compact city car will cost around €20,000 – that’s under £17k.
That’s a pretty competitive price. And it has a solid look too – determined and focused, with a bit of a “judging your life choices” vibe. We’ll get the full reveal of this so-called ‘ID.One’ in early March as a "show car" – basically, a cute concept car that’s sure to make you want one.
This car will be built on the MEB platform, which will also support the upcoming ID.2 electric model. The production version of the ID.2 is set to launch in 2026 with a price around €25k (under £21k), followed by the ID.One in 2027 at an even lower price.
VW CEO Thomas Schäfer said at the company’s headquarters in Wolfsburg,
"An affordable, high-quality, profitable electric Volkswagen from Europe for Europe. This is the Champions League of automobile manufacturing."
As for manufacturing, Schäfer revealed that the Golf will be moved to Mexico, and Wolfsburg’s ‘Hall 54’ will be dedicated to producing the "electric Golf successor" and an electric T-Roc, both built on VW’s new "Scalable Systems Platform.
" For platform fans, this means a next-gen all-electric "highly scalable mechatronics platform based on a uniform system architecture."
"We are making Wolfsburg the capital of our new all-electric compact class," Schäfer added.
