Together with the identification.2 All, which is expected to cost around € 2,000 more, Volkswagen hopes that some of its fortunes of irregular evar with a handful of small attractions that most buyers can pay.
The first teaser image looks good, revealing a squat, a front part with purpose and clear design signs of Volkswagen. The German brand will bring its quality reputation, but save some of the additional subtleties to keep the production costs.

Analysis: VW makes the EVs affordable, but is it very soon?
There has been a notable change in the type of electric vehicles that are reaching the market in recent months, with larger and more luxurious EV launches that become much less frequent, as more manufacturers are directed towards entry level models.
In Europe, the Renault 5 E-Tech has captured the imagination of many, obtaining numerous prizes of industry panels, as well as surpassing Tesla Model and only weeks after its launch in France.
Similarly, Citroen has just announced the new C3 Aircross, which will come with the option of a small gasoline engine, but it is also offered in a pure EV version that begins at just £ 22,990 (about $ 28,500 / Au $ 45,500) .
Under this, the spring of Dacia has been making waves with its ridiculously low sale price of £ 14,240 (about $ 18,000 / au $ 28,600), although Dacia is a brand that is not afraid to offer the basic absolute, since Pursue affordability.
On the other hand, Volkswagen has a long and successful history of offering entry level cars that are seen and felt as more expensive propositions, which makes buyers at an early age with the opinion that they will continue to be VW customers for life.
This € 20,000 car has the potential to do what the pole and above! I have done it for the brand in previous decades, but 2027 feels like a life of distance.
If Renault continues its success of retro inspiration with the promise that even smaller and affordable models come, it could overcome the Germans.
