This large manufacturer of world famous models will release a new electric car at a very affordable price.
All motorists agree on one point: electric cars are too expensive. Still too often between 25 to 35% more expensive than good old petrol and diesel thermal vehicles. A difference-of several thousand euros-which hurts the wallet. But the situation should change. With European regulations which will prohibit from 2035 the sale of new thermal vehicles, manufacturers will have to adapt. Because they will not be able to seduce the greatest number if the price of electricity remains also high. We also see the first effects, with some new models a little more affordable.
In a hyper competitive sector, even more since Chinese manufacturers have decided to invest the European market, most manufacturers must reinvent themselves. This is the choice that a historic brand has just made, at the origin of iconic cars that have crossed the borders. In the grip of financial difficulties, the Volkswagen group wants to change course. The German manufacturer, world known for its golf course – a model that blew its 50 candles in 2024 – intends to get its Wolfsburg factory out of even more popular cars. Including a 100% electric model “at around 20,000 euros”.
It is a small revolution at Volkswagen, whose turn to green energy was taken in 2019 with the launch of the ID range. The brand sold 383,100 100% electric vehicles worldwide last year. It is far from being ridiculous but it needs to do better. She puts a lot on the release of the ID. 2all, its first 100% electric city car. Scheduled for 2026, it will be displayed at a rate of less than 25,000 euros. But the manufacturer of T-Roc, Tiguan and Passat notably wants to go further. With a new promise, that of “electromobility for all.”
This is why Volkswagen is already working on a new model, which will have to tickle the Dacia Spring (16,900 euros), the Citroën Ë-C3 electric (19,300 euros) or the next Twingo e-tech, expected in 2026, at a price less than 20,000 euros. The German manufacturer has not yet revealed a lot of information. However, we know, in addition to its price, that the presentation of its new series model is scheduled for 2027 but that the show because will be unveiled next month.
The first image, between shadow and light, suggests the silhouette of a fairly robust vehicle … “It is an efficient, affordable and profitable electric model, produced in Europe for Europe, says Volkswagen. In short: The Champions League for Automobile Construction. ” We are looking forward to discovering more.
