Volkswagen gets the message: Cheap, stylish EVs coming from 2026
Briefly

Volkswagen has announced two upcoming electric vehicles – the ID. 2all hatchback priced under €25,000 and the stylish ID. EVERY1. The former was previously showcased, while the ID. EVERY1 features a modern design ethos centered on stability, charm, and unique attributes, differentiating it from larger SUVs. Despite its appealing features, there’s no confirmation on their availability in North America, raising questions about market entry. VW aims to capture attention with compact, affordable models at a time when the auto market trends toward larger vehicles.
"The widely flared wheelarches over the large 19-inch wheels and the athletic and clearly designed surfaces of the silhouette ensure stability," said VW head of design Andreas Mindt, confirming the inability of modern designers to stay away from huge wheels.
"The slightly cheeky smile at the front is a particularly likable feature. A secret sauce element is the roof drawn in the middle, usually seen on sports cars. All these design elements lend the ID. EVERY1 a charismatic identity with which people can identify," Mindt said.
