Volkswagen will unveil a new concept electric car in March, expected to be priced around €20,000 ($20,800) when it launches in 2027. This model aims to be the company's cheapest electric vehicle. The car, likely named ID.1, will be built on the MEB Small platform, designed for front-wheel drive. It is related to the ID.2, which is set to debut next year. Volkswagen had planned to co-develop the ID.1 with Renault, but the partnership ended last year. Renault is also launching an electric city car, the Twingo, in 2026, priced similarly.
