Volkswagen Targets €17,000 ID.1, Claims SSP Platform Will Have Up To 1700 BHP
— which would be the spiritual successor to the e-Up! — may be in the works and could have a base price of around €17,000.Using a new bespoke electric platform that will underpin similar models from sibling brands Cupra and Skoda, the ID.1 will sit below the production version of the recently revealed, which VW is aiming to sell for around £22,500 .
Volkswagen brand boss Thomas Schäfer has declined to say whether the new city car would be called ID.1 or ID Polo. Although, he has said the use of classic model names will be reserved for true successors to the original. The decision to build the new small car could depend on the final Euro 7 emissions rules. If they allow Volkswagen to continue using an internal combustion engine in the Polo, the small electric car could be put on hold.
The modern platform for electric cars seeks to standardize as many parts customers don’t see as possible — battery management and cooling systems, motors, battery packs, inverters, and so forth — so cars can be assembled quickly and profitably. The wheelbase and the width of the cars produced may change but the heart of the cars will be the same and come from a common parts bin.
