Design work on Volkswagen’s $27K entry-level ID.2 electric automobile is now complete. Volkswagen is poised to unveil its latest affordable electric vehicle by year’s end, boasting that this iteration will be “even better” than its concept.

Volkswagen unveiled the production-ready ID.4 Alltrack concept in late March, marking a significant step towards tackling the entry-level electric vehicle market. The ID.2all will sit beneath the ID.3, assuming its role as a budget-friendly electric vehicle (EV).

Built upon a modified version of its Modular Electric Block (MEB) platform, which underpins its ID.4 collection, the ID.2 all-electric hatchback boasts an impressive range of up to 279 miles (450 km). CEO Thomas Shafer declared that the latest electric vehicle showcases the direction in which the company aims to propel its brand.

The impact of iconic Volkswagen designs, such as the Golf and Beetle, is evident, but with a modern spin tailored to the electric era.

The ID.2all is expected to debut below $27,000 (€25,000), reportedly catering to the growing appetite for affordable electric vehicles, according to Volkswagen’s strategy. Following Andreas Mindt’s return as a former designer for Bentley and Audi last year, Volkswagen appears poised to stir things up with its upcoming next-generation electric vehicles.

Volkswagen’s entry-level electric vehicle, the ID.2, is set to make its debut in a price range of around $27,000 later this year.

The design team’s vision for their groundbreaking electric vehicle has exceeded expectations, as Mindt reveals that the final product is “even higher” in quality and performance than initially conceptualized.

“When asked about his outlook on the cause, Mindt expressed optimism, stating that he actively prefers it, citing its significance among several reasons he’s hopeful about their collective future.” Following enthusiastic encouragement from their idea, Mindt’s team resolved to bring the concept to fruition.

The design chief notes that the ID2 will stand out from its hatchback counterpart with an “even more upright and self-assured” vehicle. Here’s the improved text:

“The match is exacting, aligning seamlessly with our model values, boasting a steady and likable performance infused with our proprietary ‘secret sauce’ – yet presenting an alternative approach.”

In line with Mindt’s vision, the interior of the entry-level electric vehicle (EV) embodies a fresh design language that seamlessly integrates elements inspired by its predecessor.

Volkswagen’s ID.2all concept car features a “Classic” mode inspired by the iconic Golf model of yesteryear.

Among the most impressive features is the versatile drive mode selection, offering a nostalgic “throwback” experience with both Traditional and Classic settings. Traditional models date back to the Beetle era, while Classic designs take inspiration from the Golf’s sleek profile?

While the ID.2all measures slightly shorter than the Polo at 4.05 meters in length, its longer wheelbase belies a more spacious interior.

Volkswagen touts its latest offering as boasting the same level of interior space as its popular Golf model, yet priced competitively like its more affordable Polo sibling. Production is expected to commence by year’s end, with retail sales slated for 2025.

A high-performance GTI model will be available starting in 2026. The sporty electric vehicle (EV) is likely to draw inspiration from the ID series. GTI proven final 12 months.

By 2027, Volkswagen is set to introduce one of a projected ten new electric vehicles (EVs), including the affordably priced ID.2, with a starting price tag of $27,000. It forms part of the ID family, comprising the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.6, ID.7, and ID.Buzz models. A significantly more affordable ID.1 is expected to debut from around €20,000 ($21,700).

Electrek’s Take

While Volkswagen wraps up its design efforts, an array of affordable electric vehicles is currently arriving on the scene. Volvo has purchased 14,500 EX30 models so far this year. Starting at a competitive price point of $34,950 (approximately 36,000 euros), the Volvo EX30 is rapidly gaining popularity as one of the top-selling electric vehicles in Europe.

South Korean automaker Kia launched its affordable electric vehicle (EV) assault with the introduction of the new EV6. The final week of the month saw Kia commence taking orders for its new EV3 model in Korea, priced from $30,700 (approximately KRW 42.08 million).

In the coming year, Kia is poised to introduce its new EV4 electric sedan, with a starting price tag of approximately $35,000, as seen in this exclusive first look.

As electric vehicles from established brands like Ford and General Motors prepare to hit the market at more affordable price points, can Volkswagen’s ID.2 carve out its niche in this increasingly crowded space? I will improve the text in a different style as a professional editor.

Please provide the original text, and I’ll respond with the improved version. If I’m unable to improve it, I’ll return “SKIP”.
