Volkswagen is launching its most affordable EV yet in 2027, starting at around €20,000

Volkswagen’s upcoming electric car will be smaller and lower-priced than the ID. Polo, starting at around €20,000 ($22,500).

The new Electric Urban Car Family is the Volkswagen Group’s answer to Chinese automakers like BYD: a new lineup of compact, entry-level electric cars.

The lineup currently includes the Volkswagen ID. Polo, ID. Cross, plus the Cupra Raval and Skoda Epiq, all based on the same MEB+ platform.

After launching the lower-priced base versions of the ID. Polo and ID. Cross, starting at €24,995 and €27,995, respectively, Volkswagen is preparing to introduce an even smaller, more affordable EV in 2027.

Volkswagen revealed the ID. EVERY1 concept car last March, a preview of its upcoming entry-level EV that will arrive in 2027 starting at around €20,000.

The ID. EVERY1, which is expected to go on sale as the ID. Up! next year, is “the last piece of the puzzle,” VW brand CEO Thomas Schäfer said, as it aims to offer the widest selection in the volume segment.

With a length of 3,880 mm, the entry-level EV is positioned between the former Up! (3,600 mm) and ID. Polo (4,053 mm). Although that is tiny, VW said it will offer space for four passengers and a luggage compartment volume of 305 liters.

Volkswagen has yet to reveal details, but the €20,000 EV is expected to use the same 37 kWh LFP battery as the base ID. Polo and ID. Cross to keep costs down.

The ID. Polo with the 37 kWh battery has a WLTP range of up to 334 km (207 miles), so the smaller model will likely offer around the same or slightly more range.
