VW Prepares To Introduce New Affordable EV

Volkswagen has been at the forefront of the great EV crusade of late and is regularly delivering new EV models such as theID.4andID.Buzzto market. The German manufacturer, which hopes to seebig profits from EV salesin the coming years, hasfound great successwith the VW ID.4 crossover SUV, and is now getting ready to launch anaffordable entry-level offering to Europe将公司st around £17,000 ($21,275). The new car, expected to be named the ID.1, will make use of a shortened version of the ID.3's platform and will be manufactured in Spain.

We first got an idea of what a small VW EV would look like at last year's Munich motor show when VW revealed the ID.Life concept. The new Polo-sized VW has since then taken on a more striking appearance and has been styled to look more similar to the upcoming VW Trinity saloon. You do however get the typical ID. design cues such as a horizontal light bar and an angular front end that firmly cements it as an ID. family vehicle. The VW ID.1 will be a replacement for the Volkswagen e-Up, and promises improved performance and efficiency. We expect to see a 227-horsepower front-mounted electric motor paired with a 57-kilowatt-hour battery. This setup should be good for a 0-60-mph sprint of under seven seconds and a range of 250 miles.
