Volkswagen is passing on the ID. Life concept but has not abandoned the quest for a less expensive electric car for urban driving.
last year, Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand, said, “The ID. LIFE is our vision of next-generation fully electric urban mobility. The concept car provides a preview of an ID. model in the small car segment that we will be launching in 2025, priced at around 20,000 euros. This means we are making electric mobility accessible to even more people. In creating the ID. LIFE, we have consistently focused on the needs of younger customers.
The ID. Life we saw last year featured a 172 kW front-mounted electric motor, a 57 kWh battery, a projected range of 400 kilometers , and a 0–100 km/h time of 6.9 seconds. Those specs clearly indicate the concept is built on the traditional MEB platform, not the MEB Entry platform Volkswagen says it is working on for its smaller electric cars of the future. That chassis is expected to have a maximum battery size of 45 kWh.
The ID. Life took many of its design cues from the original Golf. But now, chief designer Jozef Kaban says he and his team are working on a “new, decidedly modern design that is also intended to captivate young customers in terms of multimedia and connectivity.” The rumors from inside the company suggest the new under €20,000 electric car from Volkswagen will be a 5-door hatchback about the size of the current Polo on the outside and the current Golf on the inside, thanks to the more efficient packaging of driveline components for EVs. The new car is expect to come to market in 2025 and will be known as the ID.2.says it may also serve as the basis for a small SUV with the name ID.
Chinese automakers are targeting precisely the markets Tesla chooses to ignore. Volkswagen has seen the writing on the wall and decided it needs to be a player in those markets as well. Whether it’s called the ID. Life, ID.2, or ID.Urban, the Wolfsburg team is looking to crack the under €20,000 code for electric cars and that’s good news for everyone who supports the EV revolution.
