# Volkswagen confirms its low-cost ID.2 EV is still on track to launch, SUV version to follow

> Volkswagen has confirmed that its low-cost ID.2 electric vehicle (EV) is on track for launch by late 2025, despite delays in other EV models. The ID.2, priced under €25,000, aims to be a new entry-level option for the brand, featuring advanced technology and design inspired by past models. An SUV version is set to debut at the Munich Motor Show in September 2025. The ID.2 will be the first EV on Volkswagen's new MEB Entry Platform, promising a range of up to 279 miles.

Despite several new EV models facing delays, Volkswagen’s cheapest model yet, the ID.2, is still on track to launch. The company confirmed the entry-level EV will launch as early as late 2025, marking a new “starting point” for the German auto giant.

Volkswagen unveiled the ID.2all concept last March, a new entry-level EV that will start under $27,000 (€25,000).

Thomas Shafer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, claimed the ID.2 “shows where we want to take the brand” with advanced tech and “fantastic design.” He wasn’t kidding.

At the LA Auto Show this week, VW’s tech development boss, Kai Grünitz, confirmed to *Autocar* that the brand’s “ID” electric car lineup is due for a drastic overhaul. Grünitz hinted that “huge improvements” are coming, starting in 2026, with a new style.

The company’s R&D boss said VW is “going back to where we came from” with designs inspired by past icons like the Golf.

Volkswagen’s refreshed look will be based on the ID.2 concept, which head designer Andreas Mindt promises is even better than the concept.

## Volkswagen’s affordable ID.2 EV is launching soon

Mindt, who was brought back to lead VW’s design, told *Autocar* earlier this year, “It’s matching 100% to our brand values: it will be stable and likeable with our secret sauce—but in a different way.”

The interior will also feature a new design theme with elements from Volkswagen’s past. One feature we know of is the “Classic” and “Vintage” drive modes, which include a driver display based on the Beetle or Golf era.

Grünitz confirmed Volkswagen’s ID.2 EV is still on track to launch in late 2025 or early 2026. It will spearhead a new “starting point” for VW. He added, “Customers will see there has been a change, and a much bigger change than expected.”

An SUV version will be unveiled at the Munich Motor Show in September 2025 and a GTI model is also in the works.

Volkswagen’s ID.2 will be the first EV based on its new MEB Entry Platform, while the SUV will follow. The ID.2all concept features up to 279 miles range (450 km).

The company describes the entry-level EV as “as spacious as a Golf” yet “as inexpensive as a Polo.” Although smaller than the Polo, it includes more interior space thanks to an extended wheelbase.
