Volkswagen unveils the electric ID.2 for less than $37,000: The people's car is back!

In this article, we exclusively reveal the latest information about the ID.2, Volkswagen's small and affordable electric compact car that promises to democratize access to electric vehicles.

On March 15th, Volkswagen is set to unveil a concept car previewing the ID.2, an affordable electric compact car with promising potential. 

The German automaker has generated excitement on social media by teasing a big announcement on Wednesday, March 15 at precisely 6:20 PM. 

Volkswagen promises to reveal its "vision for the future" and its "new design" with the slogan "More 2 come 4 you."

The countdown stops at 2, a symbolic number that suggests the presentation will involve the ID.2. 

However, Volkswagen is expected to unveil a concept car to give a taste of the final model.

According to sources at Autocar, the ID.2 project underwent significant changes after the mixed reception of the ID.Life, a concept car with crossover-like styling. 

The ID.2 will instead take the form of a sleek small compact car, which could even be called the ID.Golf.

Volkswagen's teaser contains an intriguing hashtag, "vwforthepeople," which suggests that the brand wants to reconnect with its historical identity as the "people's car," but this time in an electric version. 

The ID.2 is expected to make electric cars more accessible, with a starting price of around €25,000 ($37,000 CAD).

Originally, this mission was assigned to the ID.3, presented in 2016 with the ambition of becoming Volkswagen's new Beetle or Golf. 

However, the final price of the model deviated from this initial goal, partly due to high production costs.

Therefore, the ID.2 could be Volkswagen's answer to the growing demand for affordable electric cars, as competition in this sector continues to increase.
