Volkswagen ID. Polo: electric launch and projects in Brazil

Volkswagen unveils the ID. Polo, an electric city car aimed at the mass market, and considers its commercialization in Brazil starting in 2028. The 52 kWh version with 155 kW is the subject of a detailed test and a comparison with the Skoda Epiq, another electric model from the group. In Brazil, Volkswagen is also preparing an affordable electric vehicle for 2027 to compete with the BYD Dolphin Mini. Differences between countries relate to timing and positioning: presentation in Germany, testing in Belgium, and distinct Brazilian projects.
