  • The ID. 2all will feature a contemporary design with LED lights and will incorporate sustainable materials in its production.

  • At a recent works meeting in Wolfsburg, CEO Thomas Schäfer outlined a three-stage plan for the brand's future, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and innovation.

  • A showcar of the ID. 2all is expected to be unveiled in early March 2025, with series production slated to begin by the end of 2027.

  • This compact electric vehicle is anticipated to offer a battery range of approximately 300 km on a single charge, catering specifically to urban and suburban drivers.

  • Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), over-the-air software updates, and an intuitive user interface will be standard features in the new EV.

  • Wolfsburg will continue to be a key production site for Volkswagen, preparing to manufacture next-generation electric models on the new Scalable Systems Platform (SSP).
