New id.Polo comes electric

AUTOMOTIVE 08.02.2026

Volkswagen’s ID.Polo ushers the iconic Polo name into the electric age. Pre‑sales begin at the end of April 2026. Built at the Martorell plant in Spain, the compact five‑door model is the first production car on VW’s updated MEB+ platform. Pricing will start below €25,000.

Customers can choose between 37 kWh and 52 kWh batteries powering 85 kW, 99 kW or 155 kW motors; the GTI variant with 166 kW arrives later. The larger battery delivers up to 450 km of range and supports DC charging at up to 130 kW. New assistance systems include Travel Assist with traffic‑light and stop‑sign recognition.

The “Pure Positive” interior design features physical buttons, retro‑styled digital instruments and optional massage seats. Compared with the petrol Polo, passengers enjoy extra room and 24 % more boot space.
