Volkswagen has given the world premiere of its entry-level electric vehicle (EV), the ID. EVERY1.
Production of the car will begin in 2027, with a starting price of around 20,000 euros. It comes as manufacturer also announced the ID. 2all will be launched in the 25,000 euro class as early as 2026.
Both models are part of the new Electric Urban Car Family with front-wheel drive, which is being developed under the umbrella of the Core brand group in the Volkswagen Group.
The vehicles are based on Volkswagen’s new modular electric drive platform: the MEB with front-wheel drive.
The firm said the immediate predecssor of the ID. EVERY1 was its up! vehicle. Due to the electric front-wheel drive, the MEB platform offers space utilisation and maximum efficiency, the company said.
The concept vehicle reaches a top speed of 130 km/h and is powered by a newly developed electric drive motor with 70 kW (95 PS). The range is at least 250 kilometres. With a length of 3,880 mm, the ID. EVERY1 is positioned between the former up! (3,600 mm), the ID. 2all (4,050 mm) and the current Polo (4,074 mm). Inside, it offers space for four people and a luggage compartment volume of 305 litres.
Volkswagen Head of Design Andreas Mindt said:
“Our ambition was to create something bold yet accessible. The ID. EVERY1 has a self-assured appearance but remains likeable – thanks to details such as the dynamic front lights and the ‘smiling’ rear. These design elements make it more than just a car: they give it character and an identity that people can relate to.”
CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Thomas Schäfer, said:
“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.
“Our goal is to be the world’s technologically leading high-volume manufacturer by 2030. And as a brand for everyone – just as you would expect from Volkswagen.”
Kai Grünitz, member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Development, said:
“In the future model, we talk about Customer Defined Vehicles. The ID. EVERY1 shows that we are putting our customers, their wishes, interests and preferences at the centre of vehicle development more consistently than ever.
“The production version of the ID. EVERY1 will be the first model in the entire Group to use a fundamentally new, particularly powerful software architecture.
“This means that the future entry-level Volkswagen can be equipped with new functions throughout its entire life cycle if its users so wish. Even after purchase of a new car, the vehicle can still be individually adapted to their needs.”
