Volkswagen ID. Polo And GTI Leak Ahead Of European Reveal

The photos point to a value-focused small EV on VW’s MEB+ platform with two battery options.

Overview

  • Images of the showroom ID. Polo and the sportier GTI surfaced on social media and were quickly removed, giving the first full look at their production exteriors.
  • The styling closely follows the ID.2all and ID. GTI concepts, and the GTI adds a honeycomb front intake, a red accent stripe, and GTI badging.
  • Volkswagen’s confirmed package includes the MEB+ platform and a 37 kWh LFP battery with 85 kW or 99 kW motors that supports up to 90 kW DC fast charging.
  • Higher trims use a 52 kWh NMC battery with a 155 kW motor, up to about 450 km WLTP range, and 130 kW charging, while the GTI pairs that pack with a 166 kW motor.
  • VW has flagged a starting price near €25,000 in Europe and detailed a 10.25‑inch driver display, a 13‑inch infotainment screen, and MQB‑Polo‑like dimensions, and Australian availability remains unconfirmed.
