The electrification of the automotive sector brings all firms upside down. Designing this technology and hitting the nail on the head is costing them more than they first thought. The best example is how the Volkswagen Group has "failed" with the ID family. It is not that his first electric car, the ID.3, is a tax and its sales are very low, but his numbers are far from those initially anticipated by the Bavarian brand.
The fact is that undoing the path traveled is very complicated and all that remains is to look ahead. And this is embodied in the new Volkswagen ID. 2all who has debuted in concept form. As you well know, the German firm wants to be a leader in electromobility and for this it will bet on the lower segments of the market. Thus, after the C and D-SUVs, it is time to launch electric equivalent to the Polo, Fabia and Ibiza but at what price? Eye…
What does it look like and how big is the Volkswagen ID. 2all concept car?
The first thing you need to know about the Volkswagen ID. 2all is that measures 4,05 meters long, 1,81 meters wide and 1,53 meters high. On the other hand, the wheelbase reaches 2,6 meters, a height that is more than generous when compared to that of its thermal cousins Polo, Ibiza and Fabia. Therefore, we are facing the first advance of the new electric offensive of the B segment of Volkswagen. Although there will be no lack of brothers in Cupra and Skoda either...
Seat, for now, will not have a replica and more if they dismantle the brand. The design lines that define the ID. 2all are simple and evolve the concept of the ID.3 although now it is more aggressive. It stands out for a front with simple optics that are joined in the center by a thin LED strip and, in addition, they are framed by a silver mask that gives them entity. Lower down, the bumper is simple and clean.
The side view of the ID. 2all shows off her short overhangs. The lack of handles on the rear doors or the design of the "C" pillar that would be inspired by the first Golf stands out. In addition to the drop in the roof, the heels or the generous alloy wheels. In last place is the rear that is vertical and sports a small rear window ass and Full LED optics that meet in the center and illuminate the brand logo in red.
Inside the Volkswagen ID. 2all we found the new 12,9-inch touchscreen infotainment system called “self-explanatory”. Below is the HVAC system panel with physical controls and on the central tunnel another circular control for the screen. There is also no missing digital cockpit with a new generation steering wheel with simpler and more intuitive controls. Finally, the trunk will range between 490 and 1.330 liters.
What platform brings it to life and how powerful is the ID. 2all?
As you may have guessed by his name, the Volkswagen ID. 2all sits below ID.3. And not only because of its name but also because of its technique, since it uses the MEB Entry platform that they are creating and that will be ready shortly. Thus, the ID. 2all is not propulsion as the power of the electric motor reaches the ground through the front wheels. Also, the powertrain and batteries are not those of the base MEB either…
As announced by Volkswagen, the ID. 2all moves thanks to a 166 kW (225,76 hp) electric motor They are powered by a battery of unknown capacity. We only know that it will have a range that will reach up to 450 kilometers following the WLTP protocol and that together It will go from 0 to 100 km/h in about 7 seconds.. On the other hand, they announce that the top speed that the ID. 2all is 160 kilometers per hour.
What price will it have when it hits the market…?
As we have stated on several occasions, the ID. 2all will be the electric entry to the Volkswagen range. The German brand has high hopes for it and they want its price to be one of its claims. If all his plan goes as planned, They hope that when it hits the market, it will do so with a price of around 25 euros.. In this way, although expensive to be an urban, it will be much cheaper than the ID.3 or its rivals.
En any case its commercial debut will not take place until next year 2025. Therefore, until then there is still a long time and many things could happen. Among them that Cupra is already planning the street version of the Raval in internal code (SE210) and that two SUVs will also arrive. One will be for Volkswagen (VW216) and another for Skoda (SK216) and all will be manufactured in Spain, some in Martorell (Barcelona) and others in Landaben (Navarra).
