It's been nearly two years since Volkswagen unveiled the ID.2all concept as a window into the future of its €25,000 ($26,000) electric car. That future still isn't here, considering a production model won't hit the market until sometime next year.

The EV will be one of nine new models launching by 2027, expanding VW’s lineup. The ID. One will start at €20k, while the production ID.2all will be priced under €25k. Volkswagen has unveiled the first official teaser for its upcoming entry-level EV in Europe,

To clarify, this electric model is separate from the ID.2, which is still scheduled to hot production either towards the very end of 2025 or early 2026; that model will be based off the ID.2all concept car. Volkswagen says it plans on launching nine new car models between now and 2027, including this entry-level EV and the ID.2.

Volkswagen has teased a look at its upcoming compact electric vehicle due to be fully unveiled at the beginning of March. Ahead of a production-ready model premiering in 2027, this early look showcases a compact car that will sit at the smaller end of the current Volkswagen range.
