Volkswagen is doing final road testing of its new small electric car, the ID. Polo, in various places around the world, writes Brian Byrne. The vehicle is scheduled to make its international debut in a few months.
The new car, arriving 50 years after the original Polo's debut, will be available with two battery sizes and a range of up to 450km. Four power outputs will include a 226hp Polo GTI arriving later in the year, following the spring debut of the new model.
The electric powertrain will be the brand's latest and most efficient, developed in-house, and will include a new battery-pack production system that reduces cost and weight while increasing density.
