The Volkswagen brand has provided us with a first glimpse of an all-electric Volkswagen costing less than 25,000 euros with the ID. 2all concept car. The production version will be based on the MEB Entry platform and is one of ten new electric models that Volkswagen will launch by 2026.
“We are transforming the company rapidly and fundamentally – with the clear objective of making Volkswagen a genuine Love Brand. The ID. 2all shows where we want to take the brand. We want to be close to the customer and offer top technology in combination with fantastic design. We are implementing the transformation at pace to bring electric mobility to the masses.” Says Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen
“We are transferring the typical Volkswagen virtues to the new world of mobility: top quality and workmanship, outstanding software and digital services with genuine added value. The focus here is always on the needs and requirements of our customers.” Says Imelda Labbé, Member of the Brand Board of Management responsible for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales
Kai Grünitz, Member of the Brand Board of Management responsible for Technical Development says “The ID. 2all will be the first MEB vehicle with front-wheel drive. We are exploiting the great flexibility offered by our modular electric drive (MEB) platform and will set new standards in terms of technology and everyday usability with the MEB Entry platform.”
With the enhanced MEB Entry platform, the ID. 2all is equipped with particularly efficient drive, battery and charging technology. It has a powerful electric drive motor with an output of 166 kW/226 PS and will have a calculated WLTP range of up to 450 kilometres.
Volkswagen is also placing greater focus on design. Andreas Mindt, Head of Design at Volkswagen Passenger Cars says “The ID. 2all gives a preview of the new design language of Volkswagen, which is based on the three pillars stability, like ability and excitement.”
The Exterior design has a friendly face, very dynamic and new C-pillar signature. One element of this new design language is the C-pillar design developed for the first Golf. The ID. 2all is the first Volkswagen with a new interpretation of this signature. Other design features of the concept car include a body with a clear and powerful stance on the wheels, a good portion of dynamics and timeless elegance.
The Interior design looks spacious, high-quality appearance, self-explanatory operation. The interior also has a clear design and is characterised by a high-quality appearance, a self-explanatory infotainment system with classic volume control and a separate air conditioning block. The storage volume is a generous 490–1,330 litres, a value exceeding that of higher vehicle classes.
The production version of the ID. 2all is one of ten new electric models that will be launched by Volkswagen by 2026. This year alone we will see the introduction of the new ID.3, the ID. Buzz with long wheelbase and the ID.7. This will be followed by a compact electric SUV in 2026, in spite of all the challenges.
excitement buzzes in Mzansi with anticipation of this production.
