Volkswagen reveals ID.1 concept

This is the first look at what will eventually become the Volkswagen ID.1. It is set to launch in Europe in 2027 for around €20,000 (Irish pricing not confirmed).

While VW is currently calling this concept car the ‘ID. EVERY1’, it has told us that it will be front-wheel drive, will sit on its modular electric drive (MEB), and have a range of “at least” 250 kilometres.

Top speed is expected to be 130 km/h, while power will come from a newly developed electric drive motor with 70 kW (95 PS).

With a length of 3,880 mm, the ID.1 will sit between the former up! (3,600 mm), the ID.2 (coming next year at 4,050 mm) and the current Polo (4,074 mm).

According to VW, the ID.1 offers space for four people and a luggage compartment volume of 305 litres.

Volkswagen plans to launch nine new models by 2027, including four electric models based on the MEB platform with front-wheel drive.
