Seat will release its version of the VW ID 3 from 2020
- As of 2020, the Seat brand will be marketing its own version of the Volkswagen ID 3, which was unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. The two models produced at the Zwickau site (East Germany), where the Trabants were once manufactured, will therefore be marketed at the same time, starting in the second half of 2020.
- The Seat (provisionally called El Born) will be a little cheaper than the Volkswagen, and an even cheaper version, sold this time under the Skoda brand, should be unveiled in the coming weeks and released at the same time as the Seat and Volkswagen.
- According to the photos provided by Seat, the El Born is very close aesthetically to the ID 3, since the bodies are identical. The differences are mainly located on the front panel in order to preserve the identity of each brand.
- This strategy is similar to that used for Volkswagen Group A segment cars, namely VW Up, Seat Mii, and Skoda Citigo, and this strategy seems to have been chosen because of the still low volume of sales forecasts for Volkswagen Group electric cars until 2025, since we are talking about 50,000 units all brands combined in 2020 and 150,000 units per year in 2024, i.e. less than the average sales volume of VW Up, Seat Mii, Skoda Citigo combined.
- The El Born has a power of 150 hp or 204 hp and a range of 330km or 420km according to the WLTP cycle. The batteries are placed in the double floor, under the passenger seats. The price will be less than 40,000 euros.
