Volkswagen IDEvery1 showcases upcoming entry-level EV

Volkswagen has taken the covers off a new concept – the IDEvery1. A small EV that’ll cost less than £20,000, this is the car Volkswagen hopes will compete with models like the Citroen e-C3, Renault 5 and Fiat Grande Panda.

It’s just a concept at the moment, but the boxy design is likely to be close to the production model, which is set to hit the market in 2027. Here’s everything we know so far.

Volkswagen IDEvery1 fast facts

• Set to be VW’s most affordable model

• More than 150 miles of range
• Smallest model in the Volkswagen line-up
• Available in 2027

Volkswagen IDEvery1 styling

Dimensionally, the IDEvery1 sits somewhere between the old e-Up! and the larger Polo. It’s a boxy design and, in concept form at least, it appears to take a minimalist approach to styling. There’s a pair of headlights set into a black grille, with the illuminating Volkswagen insignia we’ve become used to seeing.

At the rear, you can see similarities to the ID.3, with the tail lights set into the darker glass tailgate panel. Again, the badge illuminates and makes up the third brake light. Other interesting details include the flush door handles, although we’ll have to wait and see if these make it onto production models.

Volkswagen IDEvery1 interior and tech

The interior is still very much in the concept stage, but there are some obvious carryovers from other Volkswagen electric cars – a large touchscreen infotainment system for starters. That said, there are some new additions, such as a row of physical controls that appear to be under the screen.

Rather than a centre console, the gear selector appears to jut out of the floor, meaning the dashboard and a sizeable chunk of the floor space is flat. This should increase interior room, and is a similar design we’ve seen some other manufacturers offering in their smaller products.

The steering wheel and cockpit is a neat design, with a digital driver display integrated into a portion of the dashboard – the top half of which appears to be covered in a contrasting piece of trim. Other trim pieces are colour-coordinated with the bodywork.

Volkswagen IDEvery1 powertrain

There’s no news on exact specifications yet, but the IDEvery1 will sit on the same kind of platform as other Volkswagen EVs – it’ll just be shortened. Volkswagen has confirmed it’ll use a 95hp electric motor, and a battery pack that’ll offer a minimum of 155 miles of range in entry-level form.
