The battery-electric Volkswagen ID. Polo has made its official debut, and this is the first of four new battery-electric models the German brand will launch this year. Based on the MEB+ platform, the ID. Polo measures 4,053 mm long, 1,816 mm wide and 1,530 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,600 mm, Compared to the ICE-powered Polo, the ID. Polo gains 25% in luggage compartment volume from 351 litres to 441 litres, and with the rear seats folded, from 1,125 litres of the ICE Polo to 1,240 litres in the ID. Polo. There are three variants of the ID. Polo at debut, with three motor outputs and two battery specifications. The range starts with the 37 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, which is paired with an 85 kW (116 PS) motor that enables a 0-100 km/h time of 11 seconds, and brings a WLTP-rated range of 315 km. A step up in powertrain specification brings the 99 kW (135 PS) drive motor, enabling a 0-100 km/h time of 9.8 seconds, and longer battery range at 329 km WLTP. Both 116 PS and 135 PS versions with the 37 kWh battery can take up to 90 kW DC charging, which brings a 10-80% recharge in 23 minutes, while AC charging is up to 11 kW. Topping the specifications table is the 155 kW (211 PS) drive motor variant, which propels the ID. Polo from 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds. This is equipped with the 52 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery specification, which brings up to 454 km of range on the WLTP standard, while DC charging is increased to 105 kW. Charging from 10-80% takes marginally longer at 24 minutes; for all variants, V2L power supply is supported at up to 3.6 kW. Inside, the digital cockpit of the ID. Polo is comprised of a 10-inch driver’s instrument display and a 13-inch infotainment touchscreen display. The former offers a nod to nostalgia with the “retro display” that mimics the analog instrumentation found in the first-generation Golf, while an improved version of the ID. Light strip continues into the front doors and can warn of approaching vehicles before a door is opened. Further optional equipment in the ID. Polo includes a 425-watt, 10-speaker audio systems by Harman Kardon, a panoramic glass sunroof, and 12-way electrically adjustable front seats with pneumatic massage function. Mobile phones can be charged wirelessly, while smartphone connectivity includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Front and rear lighting Driving assist functions in the ID. Polo includes Connected Travel Assist, which brings the ability to react to traffic light signals, a category-first, according to Volkswagen. Assistance systems include side assist (lane-change assist), lane assist (lane keeping assist), adaptive cruise control, front parking distance control and front cross-traffic assist. One-pedal driving is available as standard. The Volkswagen ID. Polo goes on sale in its native Germany, starting from 24,995 euros (RM115,847). A more powerful version in the form of the ID. Polo GTI will emerge later this year, with a 226 PS motor and will use the NMC battery.
