The new ID. 2all
The Volkswagen brand is continuing the success story of its compact cars in the age of electric mobility and is providing a first glimpse of an all-electric Volkswagen costing less than 25,000 euros with the ID. 2all concept vehicle. Initial facts: front-wheel drive, range of up to 450 kilometres, innovative technological features such as Travel Assist, IQ.LIGHT or Electric Vehicle Route Planner and a new Volkswagen design language. The production version will be based on the MEB Entry platform and is one of ten new electric models that Volkswagen will launch by 2026.
Details of the ID.2all
Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars: “We are transforming the company rapidly and fundamentally – with the clear objective of making Volkswagen a genuine Love Brand. The ID. 2all shows where we want to take the brand: close to the customer, top technologies and a fantastic design. We are implementing the transformation at pace to bring electric mobility to the masses.”
Volkswagen will present the production version of the ID. 2all for the European market in 2025. The goal is a starting price of less than 25,000 euros.
Imelda Labbé, Member of the Brand Board of Management for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales: “We are transferring the typical Volkswagen virtues to the new world of mobility: top quality and workmanship, outstanding software and digital services with genuine added value. The focus here is always on the needs and requirements of our customers.”
First electric model on new platform
Development of the ID. 2all is based on the latest evolutionary stage of the modular electric drive (MEB) platform. Kai Grünitz, Member of the Brand Board of Management responsible for Development: “The ID. 2all will be the first MEB vehicle with front-wheel drive. We are exploiting the great flexibility offered by our modular electric drive (MEB) platform and will set new standards in terms of technology and everyday usability with the MEB Entry platform.”
With the enhanced MEB Entry platform, the ID. 2all is equipped with particularly efficient drive, battery and charging technology. It has a powerful electric drive motor with an output of 166 kW / 226 PS and will have a calculated WLTP range of up to 450 kilometres.
Volkswagen is also again placing greater focus on design. Andreas Mindt, Head of Design at Volkswagen Passenger Cars: “The ID. 2all gives a preview of the new design language of Volkswagen, which is based on the three pillars of stability, likeability and excitement.”
As with all models in the ID. family, the ID. 2all is also based on the MEB platform, though – and this is what’s special – on its most recent evolutionary stage “MEB Entry”. The concept vehicle therefore sets new standards in technology and everyday practicality. Thanks to the modified platform, the developers were able to implement an interior that is the same size as the Golf in the compact exterior length of a Polo. The result: Lots of space for passengers and an unexpectedly large storage volume of 490 to 1,330 litres, allowing the ID. 2all to surpass many vehicles in higher classes.
The advanced MEB Entry platform also introduces a very efficient powertrain, battery and charging technology to the ID. 2all. The concept vehicle has a calculated WLTP range of up to 450 kilometers, at DC fast chargers (direct current), moderated exterior temperatures and a charging power of up to 350 kW, the battery can be recharged in about 20 minutes from 10 to 80 percent. This makes the ID. 2all a fully-fledged electric car for everyday of the year.
Exterior design

Exterior design: friendly face, very dynamic and new C-pillar signature
One element of this new design language is the C-pillar design developed for the first Golf. The ID. 2all is the first Volkswagen with a new interpretation of this signature. Other design features of the concept include a body with a clear and powerful stance on the wheels, a friendly face, a good portion of dynamics and timeless elegance.
With its latest ID. model, Volkswagen is deliberately shifting the focus back to the design of its all-electric models as well. “The ID. 2all gives a preview of Volkswagen’s new deign language, which is based on three main pillars: Stability, likeability and excitement”, says Andreas Mindt, Head of Design Volkswagen Passenger Cars. According to the Chief Designer, the basic idea is that “We are transferring the DNA of our icons into the future. The ID. 2all is therefore also an homage to the Beetle, Golf and Polo.”
Visible proof of this, for example, is provided by the C-pillar design originally developed for the first Golf, which evokes the tensioned string of a bow pointing in the direction of travel. The ID. 2all is the first Volkswagen to pick up on this typical feature – and reinterpret it in a contemporary way. Other design features of the concept vehicle include a clear and powerful body that rests firmly on the wheels, a front end that gives the ID. 2all its likeable face, a significant touch of dynamism and a timeless elegance.
Interior design
Spacious, high-quality appearance, self-explanatory operation
The interior has a clear design and is characterised by a high-quality appearance, a self-explanatory infotainment system with classic volume control and a separate air conditioning block. The storage volume is a generous 490–1,330 litres, a value exceeding that of higher vehicle classes.
The touch display (diagonal: 32.7 cm / 12.9 inches) of the infotainment system has a new menu structure. In the middle of the air conditioning control panel – easily accessible for both driver and front passenger – there is a practical small thumbwheel to adjust the volume of the infotainment system.
Located a level further down are two large inductive charging interfaces for smartphones, which are magnetically locked in position. Other vehicle functions are operated by means of a menu control in the centre console, which can also be used to change the look of the digital instruments.
The new multifunction steering wheel is designed to be clear and self-explanatory – two thumbwheels on the left and right and two buttons each, and nothing else. The driver of the concept vehicle is provided with all important information on one visual axis by means of the digital cockpit (27.7 cm / 10.9-inch) and a head-up display.
The ID. 2all shows where we want to go with the brand overall: close to the customer, top technology and with great design. Thomas Schäfer CEO Volkswagen Brand.Thomas SchäferCEO Volkswagen Brand
ID. family set to grow strongly up to 2026
Accelerated electric offensive: ten new electric models by 2026
The production version of the ID. 2all is one of ten new electric models that will be launched by Volkswagen by 2026. This will be followed by a compact electric SUV in 2026 and, in spite of all the challenges, Volkswagen is also working on an electric car at a price of less than 20,000 euros. This will give the car manufacturer the widest range of electric vehicles compared with its competitors, and the company is also aiming to achieve an electric car share of 80 per cent in Europe. Volkswagen Passenger Cars has previously based its calculations on a share of 70 per cent.
