With expensive upfront prices one of the major stumbling blocks preventing motorists switching to electric cars, Volkswagen has given the world a glimpse of what an 'affordable' battery-powered supermini will look like within three years. Volkswagen has previewed its forthcoming ID.2 supermini aimed at lowering the price bracket for EVs - but it's still going to be relatively pricey for a small vehicle The VW ID.2all concept was unveiled in Germany last night to preview what the new ID.2 will look like. On sale: 2026 Price: from less than £22,000 Battery: 38-56kWh Motor: Single e-motor Drive: Front-wheel drive Power: 226bhp Range: 280 miles approx Charging time: 10 to 80% in 20 minutes approx Acceleration 0-62mph: less than 7 seconds Top speed: 99mph Length: 4,050 mm Width: 1,812 mm Height: 1,530 mm Wheelbase: 2,600 mm Boot capacity: 440 litres Total storage volume : 1,330 litres Wheels: 20-inch At 4,050mm long, the ID.2all concept is marginally shorter than the Polo supermini currently in VW showrooms. Away from the pricing headlines, the ID.2all concept - which will sit under the ID.3 hatchback in Volkswagen's electric car line-up - also previews the future design language for the brand. Inside, the concept car features a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen that can also be controlled by a thumb wheel in the central panel Other cabin highlights include a steering wheel design free of a cluttering of control buttons, a pair of wireless charging pads for smartphones and a 10.9-inch digital cockpit screen with a head-up display Volkswagen is promising unrivalled levels of comfort for the electric supermini sector.
