Overview
- At the April 2026 order start, customers will only be able to configure the 155 kW ID. Polo with a 52 kWh NMC pack from PowerCo’s Salzgitter plant.
- Volkswagen confirmed the €25,000 entry model will open for orders later, using a 37 kWh LFP battery sourced from external suppliers.
- Dealer reports suggest the initially available model will be priced well above €25,000, with industry expectations pointing toward €30,000 or more.
- VW says the gap to the lower-cost variant will be only a few weeks, while dealer estimates range from half to three quarters of a year.
- First deliveries of the initially available versions are expected from late summer 2026, with VW arguing these trims will cover most demand despite the delay to the cheapest option.
