Volkswagen<\/strong> will not be changing the names of its electric cars<\/strong>, but will integrate<\/strong> them into old and traditional ones. This is the ID. Polo<\/strong>, the upcoming fully-electric compact hatch from Volkswagen. ID. Polo<\/strong> is unveiled in Europe in the next few weeks, and will be available in other global markets<\/strong> from early 2026<\/strong>. For now we have no powertrain<\/strong> details, except that there will be a GTI<\/strong> version as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the ID. Polo GTI will apparently get around 160kW<\/strong> of power. Mzansi continues to manufacture the petrol version of the Polo, exporting<\/strong> to many countries globally, including Europe, especially the UK. There are no plans to sell produce the ID. Polo here at the company\u2019s Eastern Cape Plant<\/strong> in Kariega<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur model names are firmly anchored<\/strong> in people\u2019s minds. They stand for a strong brand and embody characteristics such as quality<\/strong>, timeless design and technologies<\/strong> for all. That\u2019s why we\u2019re moving our well-known names into the future. The ID. Polo is just the beginning,\u201d Thomas Sch\u00e4fer<\/strong>, CEO of the Volkswagen brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Sander<\/strong>, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales: \u201cWe are bringing one of our strongest brands, the GTI, into the electric world. Also launching in 2026, the ID. GTI Concept<\/strong> model will go into production as the ID. Polo GTI. It will offer outstanding dynamics and plenty of driving pleasure<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
