Volkswagen’s plan revealed. The German company is ready to forcefully return to the market with a model with a truly inviting price
Despite the difficulties encountered last year, the brand’s progress continues Volkswagen towards what will be one of the most complex transitions for the European brand.

There has been no shortage of difficulties for VW on electrics. The German brand had to temporarily suspend the production of some of its battery-powered models some time ago with the CEO Thomas Schäfer who went so far as to talk about staff cuts to deal with an unexpected situation.
However, the German brand has important plans for the future to improve the situation. Among these is the arrival of a new electric entry level which, a bit like the Tesla Model 2 should do for its American rival, should rebalance the disadvantageous situation in which the brand finds itself – at least regarding prices – against its rivals Chinese.
The car should be called Volkswagen ID.1 and its release is scheduled for 2027. From the previews we could witness the creation of a particularly powerful electric city car with a price close to 20 thousand euros, the price range most sought after by potential customers. Let’s see what is known about this model and when it should be released.
Volkswagen prepares the new arrival
“The model is now on its way and will be on the market in 2027“, with these words reported above Electreck the CEO of the German brand, Schafer, confirmed what we had suspected for some time, also thanks to the rumors in the press and those of the brand itself. The brand new ID.1 will be precisely the entry level electric that the company needs to attack an always sought-after part of the market.

From the photo above you can see the possible design of the car. The car in the image is an ID Life presented a couple of years ago as a concept car precisely to anticipate the ID.1: who knows if this might not be the final design of the model. In any case, the car should have a range of 450 kilometers and promises to be one of the liveliest city cars in the history of the brand.
The brand’s strategy is clear: faced with competition, especially Chinese ones, with models that cost less and less in the city car sector, an entry level is needed to convince customers to remain faithful to European brands and Volkswagen is certainly no exception. Let’s just hope that the model arrives at the expected price, perhaps with government incentives to further reduce the cost.
