World premiere: the ID. EVERY1 is the concept car for an electric 20,000-euro Volkswagen from Europe for EuropeSmart, flexible and affordable: sporty design, versatile interior and digital features make the production version of the ID. EVERY1 attractive for private and commercial customers Always up to date: a new powerful software architecture enables lifelong updates and upgrades of the production modelVolkswagen future plan: nine new models by 2027, including four electric models based on the new modular electric drive (MEB) platform with front-wheel drive Since the Beetle, Volkswagen has been enabling affordable mobility for millions of people with compact and likeable cars. With the ID. EVERY1 concept car, the German car manufacturer is now showing an entry-level all-electric model. Volkswagen will launch the production version in 2027 – with a starting price of around 20,000 euros. The ID. 2all will already be launched in the 25,000-euro class in 2026. Both models are part of the new Electric Urban Car Family with front-wheel drive, which is being developed on a cross-brand basis under the umbrella of the Brand Group Core – comprising the volume brands in the Volkswagen Group. They are based on Volkswagen’s new modular electric drive platform: the MEB with front-wheel drive. Maximum variety. Attractive mobility in the electric era from Europe for Europe is one of the central pillars of the brand’s plan for the future. With the European launch of the all-electric Urban Car Family from 2026, Volkswagen will offer the most diverse portfolio in the high-volume segment – from efficient combustion-engine models and advanced hybrids to future-oriented all-electric vehicles. Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars: “The ID. EVERY1 is the last piece of the puzzle on our journey to having the widest model selection in the volume segment.

The front, rear and silhouette of the ID. EVERY1 all reflect this DNA component. An important style element is the golden ratio, because people find this likeable. Simply explained, it is the ratio of three fifths to two fifths of a picture or sculpture or, as here, the division of a vehicle view. Leonardo da Vinci followed this geometric principle in works of art such as the Mona Lisa. In the silhouette of the ID. EVERY1, it is the 2/5:3/5 split between the window band and the body surfaces; at the rear it is the rear window, which is flatter in relation to the bumper – the black surround of the window can be seen as a small homage to the up! and the Golf GTI No. 1. The front with its distinctive ‘looking’ LED headlights and the stylised radiator grille in between also follow the golden ratio. The ID. EVERY1 can communicate. The visual interaction with the viewer or owner is particularly pronounced in the ID. EVERY1. Here, the designers have integrated likeable, human-oriented design elements. In this case, too, the ‘looking’ headlights and tail light clusters are key examples. Animated welcome and goodbye scenarios reinforce this effect. The lower areas of the bumpers at the front and rear also show a smile, which is achieved by very wide, horizontal lines and slightly raised ends at the sides in the lower area. The interaction of the LED headlights with the stylised radiator grille integrated between them is particularly important in terms of likeability. This glass-covered horizontal bar also emphasises the width and the historic link to various Volkswagen icons. The pupil-like headlights plus stylised radiator grille and the vertical daytime running lights arranged on the outside of the bumper make the ID. EVERY1 smile in a slightly cheeky and confidently likeable way. The design element of the vertical daytime running lights is picked up again at the rear by the similarly vertical reflectors in the bumper.

The ID.3 product line’s flagship model: the new ID.3 GTX Performance is arriving on the market with an individualised design and extensive standard equipment Volkswagen is upping the ante by launching a new, even sportier version of the ID.3 GTX. In addition to the ID.3 GTX, which delivers 210 kW (285 PS), the new ID.3 GTX Performance with 240 kW (326 PS) is now also available to order. This means that the electric compact sports car is equipped with Volkswagen’s most powerful electric drive motor. Both GTX versions effortlessly convert their power into traction on the rear axle. The body and chassis layout offers significant benefits here: with the new 79 kWh battery (net) located in the sandwich floor and precisely in the centre of the vehicle, this design offers a sporty low centre of gravity and ideal axle load distribution for driving dynamics and vehicle handling that guarantees plenty of fun. Kai Grünitz, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Development, says: “With its spontaneous and superior power delivery, the new ID.3 GTX Performance is for me the electric counterpart to our sporty compact car icon, the Golf GTI Clubsport. Of course, an electric drive and a turbocharged petrol engine each have their own unique character.
