This time, Volkswagen is shaking up the electric vehicle (EV) market with the ID.EVERY1—a budget-friendly, all-electric hatchback designed for everyday drivers. This might be the one if you’ve been holding out for an EV that won’t break the bank. Practical, efficient, and easy on the wallet, the ID.EVERY1 is Volkswagen’s latest step toward making electric mobility accessible to more people.
A Compact EV That Fits Right In
Built on Volkswagen’s modular electric drive platform (MEB), the ID.EVERY1 shares its DNA with the ID.2all and the sporty ID. GTI Concept. It’s a front-wheel-drive (FWD) hatchback designed to maximize space and efficiency without feeling cramped.
At 3,880 mm in length, it fits neatly between the classic Volkswagen up! (3,600 mm) and the Polo (4,074 mm)—just the right size for city streets and tight parking spaces. Despite its compact form, the ID.EVERY1 comfortably seats four and offers 305 litres of cargo space, making it a practical daily driver.
A Design That Stands Out
Volkswagen took inspiration from the iconic Up!, blending modern touches with a familiar, friendly aesthetic. According to Volkswagen’s Head of Design, Andreas Mindt, the goal was to create a confident yet approachable car. The result? A hatchback with sleek front lights, a subtly ‘smiling’ rear, and an overall design that feels both bold and inviting.
Battery, Range & Performance
The ID.EVERY1 keeps things simple and affordable when it comes to performance. Here’s what we know so far:
- 70 kW (95 PS) electric motor
- Top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph)
- Estimated range: at least 250 km (155 miles)
In the final version, Volkswagen may offer multiple battery options, including a 45 kWh entry-level battery and a 58 kWh variant for those needing extra range. Fast-charging capabilities should also be on par with the competition—expect an 80% charge in about 30 minutes with DC fast charging.
Inside the ID.EVERY1: Simple, Smart, and Sustainable
Volkswagen is focusing on comfort and practicality without unnecessary complexity. Key features likely include:
- Digital Cockpit & Infotainment – A 10-inch (or larger) touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Minimalist Dashboard – A clean, user-friendly layout that’s easy to navigate.
- Sustainable Materials – Expect recycled and eco-friendly materials throughout the interior.
- Advanced Driver Assistance – Safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and emergency braking.
Volkswagen’s EV Roadmap & Affordability
The ID.EVERY1 is part of Volkswagen’s bigger plan to make EVs mainstream. Here’s their three-phase strategy:
- Advance (2024-2025) – Expanding their EV lineup and strengthening their market presence.
- Attack (2025-2027) – Releasing nine new models, including the ID.2all (under €25,000) and the ID.EVERY1 (around €20,000).
- Achieve (2030) – Becoming a global EV technology and sales leader.
Launch Date & Competition
Volkswagen plans to launch the ID.EVERY1 in 2027, positioning it as an affordable urban EV. It will compete with models like the Renault 5 EV, MG 4, and the upcoming Tesla Model 2. With a projected price of €20,000 ($21,500), this could be one of the most budget-friendly EVs on the market.
Final Thoughts
The Volkswagen ID.EVERY1 isn’t trying to be flashy—it’s aiming to be practical, reliable, and accessible. If Volkswagen delivers on its promises, this could be the EV that finally makes electric driving a realistic option for more people.
