VW has unveiled the ID EVERY1 concept, giving a preview of its new entry-level electric car that will have a target price of less than £17,000.
The production car - likely called ID 1 - will be a successor to the e-Up and is expected to launch in 2027.
A newly developed electric drive motor with 95 PS powers the concept, providing a range of at least 155 miles.
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.
Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand, 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.”
The new compact car will join the VW ID 2 as part of a new range of affordable electric models from the VW Group.
Schäfer emphasised that VW's Wolfsburg plant would remain the heart of the Volkswagen brand in the electric age. Production of the existing Golf is moving to Mexico to free up space for advanced technologies.
The electric Golf successor, based on VW's SSP platform, as well as the high-volume electric T-Roc will take place at Wolfsburg.
