A sub-\u20ac25,000 model was promised to make its debut closer to the launch date.<\/p>\n<p>With the \u20ac 24.995 \u2018Trend\u2019 trim and a 37 kWh battery pack now available, the brand finally has its affordable electric car. The \u2018small\u2019 battery can now also be specced on the higher trims, while a faster <a href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/en\/2026\/05\/19\/vw-id-polo-also-comes-as-a-gti\/\">ID.

Polo and its sister models seem to be convincing buyers. VW has commented to the German magazine Automobilwoche that there is \u201cvery positive customer demand\u201d. Whether this is structural or rather a launch frenzy remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>An unnamed major dealer group is quoted as having said that the ID. Polo is \u201csold out\u201d. The 10-month waiting list that is being discussed, seems however to mostly be for individual configurations.<\/p>\n<p>Batch production of similarly specced cars for stock and standard sales should be available for delivery faster. This can be seen as a good sign of demand, with individual customers willing to wait and pay for non-standard cars rather than buy base-stock models.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Production increase<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>VW has said the ID. Polo has \u201csignificantly exceeded original expectations\u201d. Does that mean the waiting list is due to production planning being too lean?<\/p>\n<p>The group is now exploring ways to increase production of its \u2018Electric Urban Car Family\u2019. The ID. Polo and Cupra Raval roll off the lines in the Martorell plant, while the Skoda Epiq is also built in Spain, at the group\u2019s plant in Pamplona.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-193480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/whatsapp-image-2026-06-08-at-13-06-50_6be61457-1920x1174-1.jpeg?resize=640%2C391&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/whatsapp-image-2026-06-08-at-13-06-50_6be61457-1920x1174-1.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/whatsapp-image-2026-06-08-at-13-06-50_6be61457-1920x1174-1.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, VW dealers are also reporting strong demand for the <a href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/2026\/07\/16\/vw-launches-id-cross-with-427-km-range-and-e27990-price\/\">ID.
