Volkswagen is realigning its model portfolio around its core values, focusing on the typical strengths of the brand, that is design, quality, innovation, handling and value for money.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]Under the slogan \u201cTrue Volkswagen\u201d, the brand is unveiling the results of three years of intensive development work, focusing on the typical strengths of Volkswagen:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022 Clean design with high recognition value
\n\u2022 High-quality workmanship
\n\u2022 Innovative technologies
\n\u2022 Intuitive use
\n\u2022 Great value for money[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]The result is a model line-up that is new in many respects. Looking ahead, the new range will include four electric vehicles in the small and compact car segment, which will be launched successively from 2026: in addition to the new ID. Polo\u00b2\u207e<\/sup> and the ID. Polo GTI\u00b2\u207e<\/sup> it will feature the new ID. CROSS Concept\u00b3\u207e<\/sup>. At the same time, a new naming strategy is being introduced, which will see established model names be transferred to electric vehicles as well. The first example of this is the new ID. Polo. Refer also to the box with information on the new naming strategy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_slide” interval=”3″ images=”38877,38868,38884″ img_size=”large” onclick=”” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\n

An example of this is the new edition of the best-selling T-Roc, which complements the newly developed Tiguan, Tayron and Passat model range. With its wide range of intelligently designed combustion-engine and electric models, Volkswagen is entering the second half of this decade with a state-of-the-art vehicle portfolio. Thomas Sch\u00e4fer, CEO Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Head of the Core brand group and member of the Group Board of Management: \u201cOur goal for the next five years is clear. We want to establish ourselves as a technological leader in volume manufacturing by 2030.\u201d And as demonstrated at IAA 2025: \u201cWe are delivering on this now!\u201d[\/vc_column_text]\n

\n\t<\/p>\n

I recognise that name!<\/strong>
\nNew naming strategy for electric models.<\/h2>\n

Volkswagen is also setting the course for the future in terms of model names: the company is adopting a new naming strategy that will see the familiar names of the combustion-engine models transfer to the all-electric ID. family. The first car to be launched in 2026 will be the new ID. Polo\u00b2\u207e<\/sup>. The concept vehicle is known as ID. 2all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thomas Sch\u00e4fer, CEO Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Head of the Core brand group and member of the Group Board of Management: \u201cOur model names are firmly anchored in people\u2019s minds. They stand for a strong brand and embody characteristics such as quality, timeless design and technology for all. We will therefore carry our familiar names into the future. The ID. Polo is just the beginning.\u201d\u00a0 With each new model generation, Volkswagen will transfer further established names to the electric portfolio. At the same time, all vehicles with classic powertrains will continue to run under their current designations. With this strategy, Volkswagen is bringing together the electric and combustion-engine worlds and making it much easier for customers to find their way around the brand\u2019s product range into the future.<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
