"Driving a prototype for next year's VW ID. Polo makes this reviewer declare that the brand has returned to its roots. The ID. Polo looks like a regular Polo, going away from the unusual design of previous ID cars. This applies to the interior and driving experience, which are more like what you would expect from a typical combustion-powered VW."
"It rides on the cheaper front-wheel drive version of the MEB platform, which means it's not as sophisticated as previous ID-badged cars or the Renault 5, since it doesn't have independent rear suspension like the French car. But even so, it drives really well and delivers the engaging, fun driving experience Europeans have come to expect from this class of subcompact car."
"Journalists have already driven the ID. Polo is in prototype form, and all seem very impressed by its blend of talents. Thomas from Autogefuhl liked the way it drives, its roomy interior with lots of physical controls (which were still hidden during the prototype drive) and the premium touches that it has. One is the panoramic roof with an electrically retracting shade, a feature which is absent from many, much more expensive cars that have a glass roof."
Volkswagen's ID. Polo adopts conventional Polo styling and a familiar interior and driving feel closer to combustion-powered VWs. The model targets the Renault 5 E-Tech segment with a starting price of €25,000 (about $29,000) and promises fun, practicality and affordability. The ID. Polo uses the cheaper front‑wheel‑drive version of the MEB platform and therefore lacks independent rear suspension found on some rivals, yet it still delivers an engaging, subcompact driving experience. The interior is roomy, features many physical controls, and includes premium elements such as a panoramic roof with an electrically retracting shade. Early prototype drives produced strong positive impressions.
