New Volkswagen ID.2 to kick-start brand’s push into small electric cars

Volkswagen is set to introduce smaller and less expensive all-electric ID. models with a VW ID.2 baby SUV followed by a supermini EV later, and the cars could well be manufactured by SEAT in Spain.
VW has been working on a much more inexpensive version of the all-electric MEB platform that underpins the likes of the ID.3 and Skoda Enyaq for over three years. The project, codenamed MEB Entry, is expected to spawn at least four new models in the middle of the decade for the German and Czech brands, along with SEAT.

Volkswagen ID.3 review

Following Volkswagen’s existing naming convention, the two badges at the bottom of the ID. line-up, ID.1 and ID.2, will be used for a supermini and a small SUV respectively. teasers in recent VW group presentations suggest that the ID.2 will be the first to arrive, appearing before the end of 2025.

Our exclusive images show how VW’s ID.2 could look. It will try to maximise the benefits of a bespoke all-electric platform by having short overhangs at the front and rear, freeing up a longer wheelbase. The car ought to be about the same length overall as the T-Cross, and the height of the seating ought to be similar, but cabin space is likely to be comparable to that of the larger T-Roc.
