- The Volkswagen Group's A-segment sedans (Volkswagen Up!, Skoda Citigo, Seat Mii) will finally be replaced, but they will all switch to electric.

- The new models will be launched in 2022 (three years later than initially planned) and will be manufactured as today at the Slovak site in Bratislava. The manufacturer wants to sell 200,000 units each year for all three brands, which is an ambitious goal considering that the current electric variant of the Volkswagen Up! sells less than 5,000 units per year.

- The three new models will be based on the MEB platform used by all Volkswagen Group electric models, but will not be manufactured at the German Emden site as initially planned.

- The Bratislava site was ultimately chosen because the manufacturer wants to market these three models at a very low price (20,000 euros) and Slovakia still benefits from a much lower labor cost than Germany.

- Nothing is known about the design of these three new models, but the manufacturer has announced that their length will be less than 4 meters (a current Volkswagen Up! measures 3.54m).

- Since the name chosen for the C-segment electric Volkswagen is I.D. 3, it is very likely that the replacement for the A-segment Up! will be called I.D. 1.
