The Volkswagen ID.2all has been revealed as the first of ten all-new electric vehicles set to be launched by Volkswagen by 2027. The ID.2all concept car previews a new small EV from VW, which is targeted to have a starting price of less than £22,000.
The ID.2all aims to help Volkswagen do what the Beetle and Golf have done before it, and bring affordable transport to the masses, this time in the electric age. Read on for all we know so far about the Volkswagen Group’s newest zero-emissions electric car, and we’ll update this page with all the latest news on the car as we get it.

Volkswagen ID.2all: exterior styling and dimensions
The new Volkswagen ID.2all previews what the firm’s small EV of the future will look like, but it’s still instantly recognisable as a Volkswagen, with a likeable face that’s shared with electric models such as the ID.3 and ID.Buzz.
Up front, you get an IQ. Light LED light bar that stretches across the front of the car, giving you consistent light on a variety of roads. The bonnet is more sculpted than it is on the Volkswagen Polo supermini, and bold creases that run down the sides of the car help make it look chunky.
The car’s thick C-pillar is trademark VW design language, while around the back of the ID.2all, there’s another light bar that can perform a synchronised dance when you lock and unlock the car. Even the tail lights have a 3D design that helps them pop at night.
The ID.2all is 4060mm long, 1812mm wide and 1530mm high, making it similar to the Polo in terms of dimensions and wheelbase. As such, the car will likely go head-to-hear with small electric car rivals such as the Peugeot e-208, Vauxhall Corsa Electric, and Renault 5. It won’t just be small electric hatchback rivals competing for your cash, either, as a raft of funky new small electric SUV rivals hitting the market - such as the Hyundai Inster and Fiat Grande Panda - will also have a say in where your cash goes.
But although it’s small, the ID.2all won’t be the entry-level car in the VW ID lineup for long. After it’s release in 2026, it’ll be followed in 2027 by an even smaller and more affordable electric Volkswagen, previewed by the VW ID. EVERY1 concept car, revealed in March 2025. The aim is for that car to have a starting price of around £17,000.
Volkswagen ID.2all: interior design and practicality
Usability and practicality are key to the smart interior of the new ID.2all. The cabin gets a thick padding of stitched upholstery and suede-look materials, which are bathed in mood light. Posh features include electrically adjustable massage seats and a panoramic glass roof.
A 13.0-inch touchscreen takes pride of place on top of the dashboard, and you’ll find a 10.9-inch digital instrument binnacle where you’d normally expect to find analogue dials.
VW has learned from the mistakes of the ID.3: instead of menus in the infotainment, you get proper physical buttons for the ventilation system and stereo volume, while the steering wheel also sticks with physical controls.
Under the centre console, you’ll find two wireless charging pads with magnets to hold your phone in place, and you’ll find multiple USB-C ports scattered around the interior.
Volkswagen says the ID.2all’s interior delivers maximum space efficiency, matching the larger Volkswagen Golf for interior room.
The front passenger seat backrest folds flat to accommodate items up to 2.2 metres long, and the back seats also split 60:40. The 440-litre boot is also large – 60 litres more than you get in a Volkswagen Golf – and increases to 1,330 litres with the back seats folded flat. There’s even a 50-litre storage space under the back seat for the VW’s charging cables.
Volkswagen ID.2all: motor, battery, range and drive
The Volkswagen ID.2all will be available with 38- or 56kWh battery packs, offering a maximum range of around 280 miles. DC charging will allow you to recharge the battery from 10-80 per cent in around 20 minutes, and the car’s sat-nav can plan routes taking account of availability and charging speeds.
Unlike the rear-wheel drive ID.3, the ID.2all will be the first car based on VW’s MEB Entry architecture, a new front-wheel drive version of the firm’s established all-electric MEB platform. The car has a 223bhp electric motor, giving acceleration of 0-62mph in seven seconds and a top speed of 99mph flat out.
Self-drive tech will be passed down from the larger ID models, meaning the ID.2all will be able to accelerate, steer and brake itself in lane, and in queuing traffic.
Volkswagen ID.2all: price and release date
A production version of the Volkswagen ID.2all will be revealed later in 2025, and you can expect the car to go on sale soon after, most likely in early 2026. VW is targeting a starting price of under £22,000.
