- Two battery choices pair a 37 kWh LFP pack rated at about 329 km WLTP and a 52 kWh NMC pack at about 455 km WLTP, with 11 kW AC charging standard and DC peaks of roughly 90 kW or 105 kW.
- Vehicle‑to‑Load comes standard at up to 3.6 kW for powering external gear, and Volkswagen says full Vehicle‑to‑Grid participation is planned later this year.
- The front‑drive APP290 motor launches at 85 kW, 99 kW or 155 kW, and a 166 kW GTI performance version is scheduled to follow in 2027.
- VW emphasizes everyday use with a large cargo hold of 441 to 1,243 liters, a cleaner cockpit with physical buttons, and early leasing offers as it targets price‑sensitive shoppers in a class crowded by rivals like Renault 5 and Hyundai Inster.
