Volkswagen prepares to launch its ID2 electric model
- After the launch in 2020 of the 100% electric Volkswagen ID3 and ID4, of which 20,000 units have already been sold in Europe during the first 10 months of 2020 (their marketing began last July), the manufacturer is already preparing the launch of the ID2 scheduled for 2023. This 100% electric model based on the MEB platform, like the ID3 and ID4 of segment C, will be the size of a Polo and will therefore complete the range of IDs to segment B. The future ID2 will thus compete with the Renault Zoé, Peugeot e-208 and Opel e-Corsa which represent a good part of the sales of electric cars in Europe.
- It will be sold at a similar price, close to 30,000 euros, a Zoé being offered at 32,300 euros, an e-208 at 32,300 euros and an e-Corsa at 31,300 euros (excluding bonuses). According to our information, the future Volkswagen ID2 will be produced in Emden (Germany) from 2023, alongside its Seat and Skoda derivatives. This plant should also host the future A-segment Volkswagen ID1 which will replace the electric Up, as well as its derivatives Seat and Skoda which will replace the electric Mii and Citigo now manufactured in Bratislava. The future ID1 models and derivatives will be offered at a price close to 20,000 euros.
- Before the ID1 and ID2, the German manufacturer should launch the ID5 (segment D) in 2021 and the ID Buzz (Kombi) in 2022, still on the MEB platform. The range of electric cars of the Volkswagen group is therefore being built at high speed, since in 2023, there should be no less than a dozen different models in its European range, sold under the brands Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda. Audi and Porsche will also have their own models (see next article).
