Overview
- VW's configurator now lists the reworked compact EV from €33,995, and a €4,000 “ID. purchase bonus” can bring the entry price below €30,000 for eligible buyers, with media also flagging leasing offers from €153 a month that hinge on large downpayments and subsidies.
- New Trend, Life and Style trims replace the old Pure/Pro labels and, from Life upward, let buyers mix any trim with 50, 58 or 79 kWh batteries for more flexible build choices.
- Series production begins in May in Zwickau, with pre‑sales in April and first deliveries planned from July 2026.
- The car moves to the MEB+ platform and keeps rear‑wheel drive, offers 50, 58 and 79 kWh batteries with up to a claimed 630 km WLTP range, and revises fast‑charge peaks to 105 kW on the smaller packs and 183 kW on the largest, though figures remain provisional.
- Inside, VW drops touch‑only controls for hard keys on the wheel and a climate button row, adds a 10.25‑inch driver display and a 12.9‑inch center screen with an app store, and enables features such as one‑pedal driving, Connected Travel Assist that can stop at red lights, and vehicle‑to‑load power for devices.
