- Do not hold your breath for a VW ID.1 start in 2027 in North America.
- VW teased the tiny EV this week with the 94 HP ID. EVERY1 Concept.
- The largest ID.2, settled in 2026, could be taken into account for the United States.
The sales of Volkswagen ID.4 exploded in the first part of 2025 and now the automaker redoubles its electrical efforts and is preparing a new family of small electric vehicles. But while European VW fans will have access to all the members of this family, it seems that their American counterparts will not have the chance to put them the smallest, the ID.1, in their garages.
Earlier this week, VW revealed the concept ID.EVERY1, a barely disguised preview of the production of ID.1 (TBC name) which will be put up for sale in Europe in 2027. But a year before which lands in exhibition halls, the German automaker will launch the production version of this 2023 model, Id.2al, and this fall, we are going to have a spinoff From this model, the ID.2X.
Will the United States get one of the new and affordable VW EVs?
However, when we asked VW North America if he intended to offer the ID.1 or more ID.2 in the United States, he was quick to tell us not to put our hopes so that the little guy cuts. A spokesperson said Car cushion It was “very unlikely” that the ID.1, which is sized between the now dead! And polo subcompacts are said to be sold in the United States.
The perspectives of the ID.2, on the other hand, seem rather better. The VW representative told us that they “could not confirm anything about the identification. 2”, which is not the same as that it happens definitively, but it is not a denial either.

What version of the ID.2 They did not confirm anything, they did not say. The crossing model seems most likely to obtain the sign of the head given the love of America for public services and the general lack of enthusiasm for the sedans. But then, the ID.2 hatch would not be an ordinary hatch because it could draw from the love of golf, which has been part of the American car landscape for almost 50 years.

What do these small electric vehicles bring to the table?
The three junior identification cars share the same new MEB platform, which, unlike the current MeB architecture found in electric vehicles such as ID.3, ID.4 and ID.Buzz, has an engine at the front of the car which rolls the front wheels. The identity of 3,880 mm (152.8 inches). Each1, whose production version should cost only € 20,000 (£ 17,000 / $ 21,000), is powered by a tiny 94 hne engine (95 PS / 70 kW) and can only travel 155 miles (250 km) on a load.
The concept of Hatch Id.All -Hatch unveiled two years ago was 4,050 mm (159.4 inch), had a 223 hp (225 PS / 166 kW) engine and was supposed to be capable of 280 miles (450 km) – statistics that would be more appreciable for an American audience. VW targets a price of € 25,000 (£ 21,000 / $ 26,000) for the production car.
So if VW should bring one of these smaller EVs to the United States, what would you like to see?
