Volkswagen ID.2 MEB Platform Testing Commences for 2025 Release

Volkswagen Id.2 Meb Platform Testing Commences For 2025 Release
Share

FYI: Volkswagen is developing a smaller, more affordable electric hatchback based on a new version of their MEB platform, ideal for European markets but unlikely to be released in the U.S.


Volkswagen’s Latest Electric Hatchback in Development

Volkswagen is gearing up to add a new electric hatchback to its lineup, one that will be more compact and affordable than the existing ID.3 offered overseas. Early development is underway, and test mules—vehicles using a makeshift body—have been spotted on the road sporting what appears to be the body of an ID.3.

A Closer Look at the Test Mule

These test vehicles reveal several distinctions from the regular ID.3. Notably, the shorter wheelbase and rear doors suggest a more compact design. The charger location has also shifted to the passenger-side front fender, in contrast to the ID.3’s rear fender position.

The Platform: MEB Entry

This hatchback will be built on a cost-effective variant of Volkswagen’s MEB platform, dubbed MEB Entry. Unlike the standard MEB platform used for models like the Volkswagen ID series and the Audi Q4 E-Tron, the MEB Entry is shorter and features a single front motor.

Preview Concept – The ID.2all

Volkswagen showcased this platform in the 2023 ID.2all concept—a subcompact hatchback driven by a front-mounted motor producing 222 horsepower. The concept vehicle promises a driving range of 280 miles according to the WLTP test cycle. However, real-world expectations under EPA standards will be slightly lower.


Volkswagen ID.2all concept

Production Timeline and Pricing

The production version of the ID.2all is slated for a 2025 debut with a starting price just under 25,000 euros (approximately $27,400). A crossover variant will be introduced a year later in 2026. Manufacturing will take place at a facility in Spain, where Volkswagen Group will also produce similar models for SEAT, Skoda, and potentially the Cupra brand for the U.S. market.

Market Focus and Future Plans

Given its size, the new subcompact EV is not expected to launch in the U.S. market. However, Volkswagen’s ambitions for affordable electric vehicles don’t stop here. The company is also working on an even smaller and cost-effective model, the ID.1, targeting a price below 20,000 euros (around $21,250). This model, potentially replacing the e-Up! hatchback, is anticipated to arrive in 2027.

Conclusion

Volkswagen is making significant strides in expanding its electric vehicle range with more affordable and compact models tailored for European markets. The introduction of the ID.2all and future ID.1 indicates the automaker’s persistent efforts to lead the way in accessible electric mobility.
