This will be an important step in the Volkswagen electric transition: at the beginning of March, the German brand will present a new “show because” presented as an overview of its “new entrance level model”, whose serial version is announced by 2027 at a price of around 20,000 euros.
Also a way of reassuring employees, while Factory closures in Germany were mentioned last yearbefore negotiations which made it possible to reach an agreement and 35,000 employment cuts. In fact, it was during a meeting of the general personnel held this Wolfsburg lands on Wednesday, February 5, on Wednesday, February 5 that this future model and a new strategic plan were announced.
Thomas Schäfer, general director of the Volkswagen brand, said the Wolfsburg factory would continue to be the historical site of the Volkswagen brand in the era of electromobility, with the next electric golf course (which would replace the ID 3) and a T-Rroc electricity.
Relaunch the identification range
The opportunity to also present a three -phase plan to increase the slope of these essential problems of zero to meet the hardened standards of CO2 this year in Europe, before the objective of new electric cars only only in 2035.
The first phase points in particular to “accelerate cost optimization”, after a first mixed evaluation for identification generation models, its 100% electric range since 2019 and the launch of ID.3 in Europe.
A “failure” in perspective: in its press release, Volkswagen says “already occupies a leading place in the electric vehicle market”, with 1.35 million models in this identification range sold since 2019, including 383,100 units last year.
By way of comparison, Tesla sold 1.79 million cars last year, just before ByD in electricity sales.
“Attack” the market with larger public models
The second phase will consider “attack”, with a total of “nine new models that will be launched in the market.”
This includes what Volkswagen simply calls “input level electric vehicle”, about 20,000 euros. “
This car must be launched after another standard model, Id.2all, “less than 25,000 euros.” A car that could find a more classic name, write “Polo” when it was launched in 2026.
During the presentation of the concept in 2023, Volkswagen had presented this identification.
Two price lenses that can be compared to Renault models: the R5, which began its career with high gas versions at more than 30,000 euros, aims at an initial price of less than 25,000 euros this year. And the Diamond brand must present its new Twingo at the end of the year, which is expected to be around 20,000 euros, with a commercial launch scheduled for early 2027.
After these two phases “accelerate” and “attack”, Volkswagen wants to “advance”, imposing itself as a “technological leader among high -volume car manufacturers.”
