The ID.3 is only an inch shorter than the Golf, and neither the ID.2all nor the ID.3 are planned to have AWD drivetrains. While we won’t know more about the upgraded ID.2all until VW decides to reveal more details, it is clear that Volkswagen is committed to expanding its electric vehicle lineup and offering a range of options for consumers. The ID.2all will be built on the MEB platform, which is currently used for the ID.3 and ID.4 models. Comparisons are already being made between the ID.2all and the current VW GTI, which has 241 horsepower and can go from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The standard model is expected to have a single motor on the front axle, producing 223 horsepower and achieving 0-62 mph in under 7 seconds. It is expected to be released by 2026 and will feature a new EV design language and the brand’s latest infotainment interface.
