All-New ID Polo

Volkswagen is opening the doors to the all-new ID. Polo for the first time, offering an exciting glimpse into the interior of its future models.

The new holistic design approach, shaped especially by customer feedback, will define the cockpits of upcoming ID. models.

Main features include intuitive controls which adopt and further develop familiar Volkswagen operating patterns. At the same time, a new software generation brings fresh functions to the ID. Polo. A little 1980s charm is now present in the vehicle thanks to the retro display – with a single button press, the digital instrument displays transform into screen views reminiscent of the first Golf.

Positive atmosphere and high-quality standards

Volkswagen has long delivered quality and comfort in the small and compact car classes to standards aligned with a higher vehicle class. With the all-new ID. Polo, Volkswagen continues this approach in conjunction with the new ‘Pure Positive’ design language.

The cross-class impression is reflected in details such as fabric-covered surfaces on the dashboard and door inserts. The pleasant feel of all surfaces, buttons, controls and handles creates an inviting and friendly atmosphere. Furthermore, Volkswagen’s new cockpit landscape focuses on even more intuitive operation.

 Performance and range

At launch, the ID. Polo will offer three power outputs:

• 85 kW (116 PS)
• 99 kW (135 PS)
• 155 kW (211 PS)

Later in 2026, the sporty ID. Polo GTI will offer a power output of 166 kW (226 PS).

Battery options include:

• 37 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for entry models, supporting up to 90 kW DC charging
• 52 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery for higher trims, enabling up to 280 miles of range and 130 kW DC charging

Technology

Built on the MEB+ platform, the ID. Polo features a newly developed front-wheel drive system and Volkswagen’s latest APP 290 electric motor. The new PowerCo unified cell uses cell-to-pack technology, reducing weight and cost while improving energy density by 10 per cent, meaning greater range and efficiency.

An upgraded travel assist offers assisted lane changes on motorways and traffic light recognition for greater convenience and safety

Space and practicality

Despite similar dimensions to the classic Polo, the ID. Polo offers more interior space:

• Length: 4,053 mm
• Width: 1,816 mm
• Height: 1,530 mm
• Boot space: 435 litres, expanding to 1,243 litres with seats folded (a 24 per cent increase over the current Polo)
