New Concept Revealed: Volkswagen has introduced the ID.Every1 concept after months of hints. It shows off the company’s cheapest electric vehicle, planned for 2027. Volkswagen describes it as built “from Europe for Europe.” The ID.Every1 follows in the footsteps of the Up, replacing the e-Up! discontinued in 2023. It will be the starting point for Volkswagen’s ID electric car lineup.

Echoes the Up: The ID.Every1 concept builds on the Volkswagen Up’s design. Volkswagen links it to the Up’s small, practical shape. It’s set to reach European roads in 2027. The concept replaces the e-Up! as an entry-level option. Its name suggests a future ID.Up! badge. This connects it to Volkswagen’s tradition of compact, everyday cars.

Range Promise: Volkswagen states the ID.Every1 will travel at least 250km on a charge. Battery size and type remain unconfirmed. The company says this suits city driving needs. It will reach a top speed of 130 kph, Volkswagen confirms. The motor provides 95 hp for basic performance. This makes it a practical choice for budget buyers.

Outside Look: The ID.Every1 concept is close to its final design. Volkswagen says it mirrors the Up with a friendly front. It has a blacked-out grille, big LED headlamps, and vertical LED DRLs. Flush handles and 19-inch wheels are part of it. The C-pillar recalls the original Golf, per Volkswagen. A black A-pillar gives the windscreen a wraparound look.

Simple Style: The ID.Every1’s sides feature slightly shaped wheel arches. Volkswagen skips bold lines for a “timeless” and “classless” design. The rear matches the front with similar lamps and bumper. A brake light fits into the spoiler. Volkswagen keeps the body plain to cut costs. This approach focuses on function over extra flair.

Smaller Size: The ID.Every1 is 3880mm long, according to Volkswagen. That’s less than the 4050mm ID.2all concept. It shares parts up to the A-pillars with the ID.2all. Its wheelbase is shorter, and its battery is smaller. It stands 1490mm tall and 1816mm wide, making it more compact. This size suits tight urban spaces.

Basic Interior: The ID.Every1 concept seats four with a simple layout. A big infotainment screen sits on the dashboard. Volkswagen adds buttons below for heat and sound controls. It includes a two-spoke steering wheel and a sliding centre console. Air vents copy the headlamp shape. The console moves front to back for convenience.

Handy Extras: A Bluetooth speaker fits between the front seats and can be removed. Volkswagen provides a passenger panel for attaching a tablet or shelf. It’s designed for four people only, says Volkswagen. These additions appeal to younger city drivers. The setup mixes usefulness with modern touches.

New Tech: The ID.Every1 uses a fresh software system. Volkswagen created it with Rivian, a US electric vehicle company. This allows updates over the air. It works for basic or advanced models, per Volkswagen. Buyers can pay to unlock extra features. It’s the first Volkswagen Group car with this adaptable technology.

Platform Basics: The ID.Every1 rests on the MEB Entry platform. Volkswagen adjusts this front-wheel-drive base for production. The motor offers 95hp, as Volkswagen states. It hits 130 kph at its fastest. The design provides a 305-litre boot. This setup maximises space in a small electric car.

Low Cost: Volkswagen aims for a €20,000 price tag on the ID.Every1. That’s around £18,000 in the UK, above the Dacia Spring. The ID.2all concept targets €25,000. Volkswagen wants to make electric cars affordable. The ID.Every1 steps in for the e-Up! with a lower price. It meets demand for cheaper electric options.

Coming Soon: The ID.Every1 will arrive in Europe in 2027. Volkswagen plans to show the ID.2 X crossover in September 2025. The Munich motor show is the expected location. The ID.2all will get a GTI version in 2026. Volkswagen’s electric city car range is expanding. The ID.Every1 previews this budget-friendly future.
