Volkswagen has announced a bold new naming strategy for its electric cars. The ID. 2all show car will now hit production as the Volkswagen ID Polo in 2026. This signals a new chapter as Volkswagen combines its classic model names with the forward-looking ID. family.
Volkswagen ID. Polo Brings Legacy Into EVs
Volkswagen will launch the Volkswagen ID. Polo to match the Polo’s 50th anniversary. Further, it is designed to carry forward everything the Polo stood for quality, safety, and innovation made accessible, with the Volkswagen ID. Polo being the forefront of this movement.
CEO Thomas Schäfer stated that Volkswagen’s names hold a strong place in people’s lives. By bringing these names into the EV space, the new Volkswagen ID. Polo ensures customers feel connected to their past while stepping into the future.
More Than One Electric Polo
Furthermore, Volkswagen is not stopping with just the Volkswagen ID. Polo. In 2026, the sporty ID. GTI Concept will roll out as the ID. Polo GTI, bringing the thrill of GTI performance to electric mobility, following the path set by the innovative Volkswagen ID. Polo.
Moreover, both the ID.Polo and ID.Polo GTI will make their first public appearance at the IAA Mobility show in Munich this September as part of the Volkswagen ID.Polo initiatives.
Alongside them, Volkswagen will also reveal the ID. CROSS Concept, a compact electric SUV that will later launch as the ID. Cross the electric twin of the T-Cross, complementing the progress of the Volkswagen ID. Polo.
Volkswagen ID. Polo – Making Electric Driving Easy and Exciting
Through the ID. Polo and other upcoming models, Volkswagen plans to make electric cars easier to access and more budget-friendly. Moreover, these EVs will blend advanced digital tech with classic controls like knobs and buttons, giving drivers the best of both worlds, as demonstrated by this Volkswagen ID. Polo innovation.
Further, by reimagining its legendary names for the electric era, Volkswagen is making sure cars like the Volkswagen ID. Polo and GTI continue to inspire trust, excitement, and everyday usability in a sustainable future.
