VW ID. Polo ~39 (37) kWh available. Color Wartburg Gelb, PRICE: 24,995 euros, in Poland it costs 111,800 złoty for a range of 334 km.

The Volkswagen ID. Polo with an LFP battery has appeared in the German configurator — the first vehicle on the MEB+ platform to use cells other than high-nickel ones. The base version of the VW ID. Polo is available in Wartburg yellow, priced at 24,995 euros, which is equivalent to 111,800 Polish zlotys. This amounts to 334 zlotys per WLTP range unit, with a range of 334 WLTP units — meaning up to 286 kilometers in urban or urban-suburban driving conditions.

VW ID. Polo LFP in the basic version. Quite nice.

At the launch of the ID. Polo, Volkswagen announced that a version based on the concept behind its promise of a low price for the VW ID. Polo would be available by mid-July. Well, it’s here: the version with lithium-iron-phosphate cells has just appeared in the German configurator at 24,995 euros. It offers 334 WLTP miles of range, which is more than the Nissan Leaf with a similar battery capacity — a car that our readers actually used to travel by the sea. In the base configuration, the color is Wartburg yellow:

We can laugh at this car, but it’s worth noting that it comes standard with a 12.9-inch central display, dual-zone climate control, a fairly powerful engine (0-100 km/h acceleration in 10.6 seconds), and a transmission where you don’t need to shift gears. Those who are older and drive in the city know it’s important to take care of both yourself and your knees. The automatic transmission in the gasoline-powered VW Polo paired with the 1.0 TSI engine costs from 89,590 złoty; it’s about 20,000 złoty cheaper, but it’s hard to match the level of equipment in the base VW Polo with that of the VW ID. Polo.

The yellow paint from the Wartburg (German: Pythongelb) is standard in the base Trend trim level. It comes equipped with an engine producing 85 kW/116 HP and 290 Nm of torque, compared to 43 kW/58 HP and 96 Nm of torque in the Wartburg. The exact same engine and inverter are also used in the most powerful versions, with software overseeing everything to ensure buyers don’t get too much for what they paid. It’s worth noting that even the base Trend version features a lane-keeping system, LED headlights, and 10-inch dash displays.

The higher Life version includes features such as a rear camera, electrically folding mirrors, and an adaptive cruise control system, while the top-tier Style edition adds matrix adaptive headlights, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats. All models charge from 10 to 80 percent in no less than 23 minutes, with a maximum power output of 88 kW. They also all have 440 liters of trunk space in the back, and higher trims even come with a partition separating the floor recess from the main trunk area defined by the vehicle’s roof edge.

Editor’s note from Elektrowozu: Our reliable readers report that the base version can now be ordered 1,500 euros cheaper than what the configurator shows.
