After giving Australia almost no electrified vehicles for the longest time, it seems the Volkswagen Group is about to smother us with choice. The German carmaker’s MEB modular electric vehicle platform has been in production for several years now and serves the basis of a number of models across various brands, but Australia has missed out on all but one of them so far. Locally, it started with the Cupra Born hatchback last year. The Spanish brand’s twin to the upcoming Volkswagen ID.
Note: the VZ’s quoted WLTP driving range drops to 463km if buyers opt for the optional Extreme Package, as the included forged alloy wheels are wrapped in performance tyres. While the vehicle we drove wasn’t completely indicative of Australian specification, we were seeing around 22-23kWh/100km during the dynamic portion of the drive loop in Cupra mode, settling down to 17-18kWh/100km once we hit the highway and encountered some peak-hour traffic in Range mode.
