Volkswagen unveiled the ID2.all concept last year as promise of an affordable electric car scheduled to go on sale in 2025. It’s still coming next year but a new report from Auto Motor und Sport (via Automotive News Europe) claims mass production is going to be pushed back to 2026. Apparently, the loosened Euro 7 regulations will allow VW to sell the Polo at a profit beyond 2025, so the German company is in no hurry to replace it with the ID.2.
Consequently, mass production at SEAT’s Martorell factory in Spain has reportedly been delayed to May 2026. Based on the upcoming MEB Entry platform for electric cars with front-wheel drive, the VW ID.2 is expected to retail for less than €25,000 ($27,000). VW is already working on a sub-€20,000 ($22,000) EV scheduled to arrive later this decade.
Meanwhile, the production-ready ID.2 is still expected to get an official reveal in 2025 but production could be limited until around mid-2026.
