VW ID.2 Will Allegedly Be Yet Another Electric SUV: Reports
Volkswagen’s EV plans have tentatively hinted at adding two more models to its ID family of cars in the coming years. They will slot below the ID.3 and ID.4 that are already available, and they’ll target buyers looking for affordable EV city cars. There’s been speculation about the type of vehicle the ID.2 will be, and two new reports finally shed some light on the mystery – both say the model will be yet another all-electric SUV.
It’s not clear when we’ll see the VW ID.2 debut. Rumors from late last year suggested that it’d arrive in 2023, though the two new reports provide conflicting information. Automotive News Europe said it didn’t expect it to arrive until 2027, while Auto Expresswas a bit more optimistic, reporting that it’ll debut before the end of 2025. We could see the ID.2 debut as a SEAT or Skoda model before the VW version, which could be contributing to the confusion about when we’ll see the model debut.
VW ID.2 will offer various battery sizes
Like other ID models, the ID.2 will offer various battery sizes, with the smallest rumored to be only 30 kilowatt-hours, which would translate to about 120 miles (193 kilometers) of range. Its bite-sized range would come with a bite-sized price. Automotive News Europe’s report says the Group’s mini EVs will start at around €19,000 ($22,330 at today’s exchange rates). The publication also reported that VW Group tasked Skoda with developing the ID.2 and the brand’s other compact EVs.
