End of the gasoline Polo: the brand will go to a new car

Sources at Volkswagen claim that in 2025, the Polo brand will be used to produce the Volkswagen ID. 2 compact electric hatchback. The rebranding is due to the desire to simplify the German automaker's model range and win over new customers with an already well-known brand.

Another reason to rename the car may be the desire to more clearly define the position of "electric cars" in the existing Volkswagen hierarchy of cars. Using the familiar Polo brand can speed up the selection process and avoid confusion in models. The Polo brand has always produced compact city hatchbacks, and the ID. 2 fits this description perfectly.

Technically, the new Polo is built on the MEB Entry platform, designed for compact electric vehicles. The car will receive all modern safety and driver assistance systems. The design is made in the style of the ID. Life concept and will not undergo significant changes.
