Volkswagen has commenced pre-sales of the new ID. Polo equipped with a 37-kWh battery, introducing a more affordable option for customers looking to switch to electric mobility. Designed for everyday urban driving, the new variant starts at €24,995 in the Trend trim, while the Life and Style variants are available from €29,195. The launch follows just weeks after the debut of the 52-kWh battery version.
The new ID. Polo is part of Volkswagen’s recently introduced Electric Urban Car Family, which has already received more than 70,000 orders within a few weeks of launch, including 25,000 bookings for the ID. Polo alone.
Targeted at price-conscious buyers, the 37-kWh battery variant combines a lower purchase price, favourable insurance costs and an efficient electric powertrain to reduce overall ownership expenses. It supports DC fast charging at up to 90 kW, allowing the battery to recharge from 10% to 80% in approximately 23 minutes. Optimised for daily commuting and city driving, the model is tailored to meet the needs of urban motorists seeking practical, cost-effective electric transportation.
