We have also now been given our first look at the rear end, revealing a design that’s more reminiscent of recent models such as the up! and ID.3. Here, oblong rear lights sit on either side of a one-piece glass tailgate. Squint and you might even see a little bit of the most recent Scirocco in there.
While the ID. EVERY1 concept clearly references models from VW’s past, it’s worth remembering that it’s a pure concept. And with the limitations of production, plus VW’s need to keep costs down, the likelihood is that there will be a host of changes – principally in the car’s proportions – for the 2027 production version.
When the VW does reach showrooms, it’ll join the road-going version of the ID.2all concept, – likely to be called the ID.Polo – plus its higher-riding SUV sister model, which is due to be revealed later this year, and is currently referred to as the ID.2X. These will mark the start of a new era of low-cost EVs.
It’s no secret the German giant is in a tough financial position due to lower than anticipated EV sales, high investment costs and a diminishing presence in China. VW is hoping that profitable Europe-focused models like these will do their job in revitalising the brand’s market share in countries close to home.
Like the B-segment ID.Polo, the ID. EVERY1 will be developed under the umbrella of Brand Group Core, which sits within the main VW Group. This conglomerate is made up of VW cars and Commercial, Cupra/SEAT and Skoda, all of whom have teamed up on the development of these next-generation models.
VW CEO Thomas Schäfer referred to the new ID. EVERY1 as “an affordable, high-quality and profitable electric Volkswagen from Europe for Europe – that’s the Champions League of automotive engineering!”
