Fast-forwarding to the future: Unveiling Volkswagen's aggressive automobile launch plan over the next three years, featuring a total of ten new vehicle models.
Volkswagen has announced plans to bring a new electric car to market, the ID.Every1, which is set to be the first car to use the company's new MEB Entry platform. This entry-level electric vehicle is set to hit the roads in 2027, marking a significant step in Volkswagen's electric transformation.
The ID.Every1, with a length of 3,880 mm, is a 5-door hatchback that seats 4 people and offers a luggage capacity of 305 litres. It features a front-mounted electric motor with 94 hp (70 kW), delivering front-wheel drive, enabling a top speed of approximately 81 mph (130 km/h). The range is targeted at least 250 km per charge, making it a practical choice for urban commuting. The starting price of around £17,000 (€20,000) positions it as a compact yet efficient urban EV successor to the Volkswagen up!.
The interior of the ID.Every1 features a minimalist design with textured, non-coated materials to avoid a stark feel. The dashboard includes a small driver display, central touchscreen, and tactile physical controls for ventilation, volume, and heated seats. A central cubby acts as the main glovebox, with additional open storage and straps. Customization options will allow buyers to opt for basic or enhanced configurations, targeting both private and fleet customers.
Based on Volkswagen’s new modular electric drive platform (MEB) optimised for electric front-wheel drive and space efficiency, the ID.Every1 sits between the dimensions of the discontinued up! and the Polo, aiming to combine the entry-level city car segment with modern EV requirements.
The ID.Every1, billed as "the last piece of the puzzle" in Volkswagen's electric transformation, was previewed by the ID Every1 concept earlier this year. The aim of Volkswagen's reinvention is to propel the German company back to its former strength, profitability, and global competitiveness.
In addition to the ID.Every1, Volkswagen is launching 10 new electric and combustion-engined models over the next three years, including an electric Golf. The company will also upgrade its current crop of combustion-engined best-sellers as part of a renewed push for its ICE models.
The ID.Every1 is considered vital by Volkswagen, especially in terms of mass EV adoption. It uses MEB Entry, a new cost-optimised platform developed specifically for compact electric models. The production ID 1, an entry-level electric car, is scheduled to hit the road in 2027. The arrival of the ID 1 will precede the fully revealed ID 2, set for the Munich motor show in September.
With its affordable price, practical design, and focus on accessible EV mobility, the ID.Every1 reflects Volkswagen’s renewed direction after recent challenges. It will compete with other affordable electric vehicles such as the Leapmotor T03 and Dacia Spring, offering a premium alternative in the market.
