Volkswagen is changing the way its EVs are named and eliminating the ID.4 numbers from regular badges. It was said that the new ID. Polo, which will come out in Europe next year and is called ID.2, would be the first step in the change. When the updated version of the ID.4 SUV comes out in a few years, it might be called the ID. Tiguan in the new style. Moving to electric cars has made it challenging for automakers to determine how to sell their products effectively. When you use old nameplates or make new ones, you run the risk of watering them down if the car doesn’t live up to the model’s long past. Volkswagen initially went in one direction, but the German company is now going in the opposite direction. Volkswagen unveiled the ID. Polo, a new way to use historic emblems on new electric vehicles, is the name of its upcoming electric city car in Europe, before the IAA show in Munich. In 2023, Volkswagen presented the ID.2all concept, a compact electric hatchback that showcased the production-ready body hidden under a smooth cover. The EV was then supposed to go into production with the name ID.2, which is how VW names its EVs. Volkswagen said it will keep using the Polo logo, which has been used since 1975 to identify its subcompact hatchback line, as well as the ID naming that was first used for VW’s electric cars. There are no plans for the ID. Polo will be introduced in the US, with plans to offer it in Europe in 2026. Volkswagen also announced that all of its future electric models will carry the GTI badge, including a sportier variant of the ID Polo. The GTI concept suggests that VW will introduce a sporty Polo GTI with the ID. Name in 2023. It’s going to look meaner, likely have more speed, and have a tuned suspension. As new models come out, the ID Polo will make it easier for Volkswagen’s more well-known names to switch to electric power. However, in addition to the new EVs, some of these badges will still be offered with gas or hybrid engines. VW says the ID. The Cross concept, an electric version of the small T-Cross SUV sold in Europe, will be showcased at the IAA expo before entering production. This will be the next name to appear on an electric vehicle.
