"This is the all-new ID. Polo, a subcompact EV designed, developed and built in Europe with an emphasis on affordability. When it goes on sale at the end of April next year, the Volkswagen ID. Polo will start from less than $29,000 (25,000 Euros) in Europe, including VAT, making it one of the most attractive offerings in the segment that's currently ruled by the Renault 5.

"All ID. Polo variants will be powered by a newly developed AP290 drive unit that will sit exclusively at the front. In other words, the electric hatchback, including the hot ID. Polo GTI, scheduled for 2027, will be front-wheel drive. That appealing starting price, which is close to the Renault 5's entry MSRP, will more than likely be applied to the entry-level version of the ID. Polo, which will be powered by a 37-kilowatt-hour (usable) lithium iron phosphate battery pack and a 114-horsepower (85-kilowatt) front motor."
"The same LFP pack will also be available with a slightly more potent, 181 hp (99 kW) front motor. However, regardless of the drive unit, Volkswagen says these two versions are expected to be capable of covering up to 186 miles (300 kilometers) on a full charge on the WLTP cycle. On the EPA cycle, that would be around 160 miles, though we don't expect this car to make it to the U.S. anytime soon."
Volkswagen will launch the Europe-built ID. Polo subcompact EV at the end of April next year with a starting price below €25,000 including VAT. All variants use a newly developed AP290 front-drive unit, so every model— including the planned ID. Polo GTI in 2027—will be front-wheel drive. The entry model pairs a 37-kilowatt-hour usable lithium iron phosphate battery with a 114-horsepower (85-kW) front motor, while a stronger 181-hp (99-kW) motor is available with the same LFP pack. WLTP range is targeted at up to 186 miles (300 km); EPA-equivalent would be roughly 160 miles. Interior and final design will be revealed later.
