Unveiling its latest addition to the Electric Urban Car Family, Volkswagen presents the ID. EVERY1, set to launch in 2027. This entry-level all-electric model promises affordability with a starting price of around 20,000 euros. The vehicle combines a sporty design and versatile interior with advanced digital features. It will be the first Volkswagen Group vehicle to feature a new software architecture that allows for lifelong updates and upgrades. Built on the MEB platform with front-wheel drive, it offers a range of at least 250 kilometers and a practical interior space suitable for both private customers and business use.
The ID. EVERY1 is designed to offer an accessible entry point into electric mobility. With its starting price of approximately 20,000 euros, this vehicle aims to cater to a broader audience. Volkswagen plans to launch nine new models by 2027, including four electric vehicles on the MEB platform, reinforcing its commitment to affordable mobility. The ID. EVERY1 fits between the former up! and the current Polo in size, making it a practical choice for urban environments.
The car’s exterior design strikes a balance between boldness and approachability. Andreas Mindt, Volkswagen Head of Design, emphasized creating something that is both self-assured and likeable. Dynamic front lights and a 'smiling' rear give the vehicle character and identity. Inside, the ID. EVERY1 can comfortably seat four people and offers a luggage compartment volume of 305 liters, enhancing its practicality. These design elements ensure the vehicle appeals not only to private customers but also to businesses such as delivery and care services.
Beyond its attractive design and practicality, the ID. EVERY1 introduces innovative technology. It is built on Volkswagen’s modular electric drive (MEB) platform, featuring a 70 kW (95 PS) electric motor, a top speed of 130 km/h, and a minimum range of 250 kilometers. This setup maximizes space and efficiency, aligning with Volkswagen’s mission to provide technologically advanced yet affordable mobility solutions.
A standout feature is the new software architecture that enables lifelong updates and upgrades. According to Kai Grünitz, member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Development, the ID. EVERY1 represents Customer Defined Vehicles, putting customers' preferences at the center of development. This ensures the car remains customizable long after purchase, adapting to users’ evolving needs over time. By 2030, Volkswagen aims to become the leading high-volume manufacturer in electric vehicles, offering a diverse range from combustion engines to advanced electric models. The ID. EVERY1 exemplifies this vision, blending affordability with cutting-edge technology.
