Volkswagen
introduced the
ID.
2all
, the prototype that anticipates the shapes and characteristics of what will be the most popular electric model of the German brand in the European market.
Its launch is scheduled for 2025 and it will be in charge of launching a new platform from which other compact and popular vehicles will emerge in the future.
Its launch price will be
25,000 euros
, which, although it is much lower than other models with these characteristics, is still much more expensive than other equivalent models but with a combustion engine.

After which the ID.
3, the first electric car developed from scratch as such and mass-produced by the German brand, did not achieve the objectives of democratizing this technology (at the time it was compared to the Golf), Volkswagen attacks with a more compact and economical
model
.
In fact, the name of this prototype, which is the size of a Polo, gives an idea of the range that the series model promises to have: the combination of ID (which identifies the brand's electrics) and the number 2 (which locates by size as the smallest) plays with the extension
all
and, when pronounced in English, returns
to all
, "for everyone".
The serial version of the ID.
2all is
one of the ten new electric models
that Volkswagen will launch between now and 2026. This year it started with the redesign of the ID.3 and continued with the ID.

In 2026 the electric compact SUV will arrive, which will use the same base as the ID.
2all and, as confirmed by the company, it is working on an electric car of less than 20,000 euros.
The chances that this model ever arrives in Argentina are rather low, since its sale price would be far from being a popular car.
A possibility could only be glimpsed if the new electric platform is installed in a Latin American country for the regional production of a vehicle.
Inside the Volkswagen ID.
2all looks simple and very digital.
In addition, from what can be seen in the shapes of this
concept car
, the company also returns to the sources in terms of design, with a more sober style and less played than other electric cars of the brand.
the new foundation
This future compact model will be built on the new MEB Entry platform, a
structure designed for the development of compact and popular models
.
The first great novelty that this base shows is that the engine is located on the front axle.
So far, the Volkswagen electrics locate the propeller on the rear axle or have two motors, one on each axis.
In this way, the ID.
2all makes it possible to gain a large cargo space in the trunk (declares 490 liters) and, thanks also to a very wide wheelbase, promises to offer a spacious cabin.
The new MEB Entry platform is the one that will be used to manufacture the Volkswagen ID.

The figure of this new car (at least in this prototype phase) is quite far from the lines that the brand has shown with the electric ones it has done so far.
Its lines and proportions make references to the Polo or the Golf inevitable.
A characteristic of the model are its extremely short overhangs, a generous idea of width and a rear side sector with a great feeling of solidity.
The style offered by this prototype reflects that not only what the company's next model will be like, but also
launches the new design language that future Volkswagen models will carry

With the design of the ID.

This will include the latest version of

calculated autonomy of up to 450 kilometers
