Volkswagen likes to remind us that its name means “the people’s car” and seems finally determined to embrace it.
With the arrival of the ID.2 and its SUV variant ID.2X, the German brand appears to be reconnecting with this historical mission: to offer affordable models with appealing designs, equipped with the latest electric technologies.
At the Munich Motor Show, the ID.2X will make its debut on September 7 in the form of a near-final concept. Teased by an official sketch, the small SUV stands out with a muscular look: marked wheel arches, reduced overhangs, and a front face inspired by both the T-Cross and the robust Amarok. At the back, Volkswagen adds a modern touch with a luminous logo and a pillar pattern reminiscent of the ID. Buzz.
The ID.2X positions itself as the 100% electric alternative to the T-Cross. With an expected starting price around £25,000, it will compete against the new Renault 4 E-Tech and the Ford Puma Gen-E. A strategic choice: Volkswagen wants to show that electric can also mean affordability and style.
Under its trendy bodywork, the ID.2X is built on the MEB Entry platform, shared with the upcoming Cupra Raval and Skoda Epiq. Produced in Spain, it is expected to offer two battery options of 38 and 58 kWh, with up to 450 kilometers of range for the larger battery. Fast charging up to 125 kW will allow a quick charge from 10 to 80% in less than 30 minutes, a practical advantage for attracting urban and suburban drivers.

This isn’t the first time Volkswagen emphasizes this “popular” strategy in electric vehicles: the brand has already announced the ID.Every 1 for 2027, a city car promised to be under £18,000. With the ID.2X, it confirms that it aims not only for the high-end market but also wants to win over families and young professionals in search of a versatile, modern, and zero-emission vehicle.
A true return to its roots, in short: cars accessible to all, but that do not forget to be innovative and desirable.
