Autovisie revealed some time in the past a sketch that may have emerged from Volkswagen itself. The Dutch web site suspected that it may very well be the ID.2 and that this new automobile could be a subcompact (B-segment) crossover. Seat tacitly confirmed each suspicions revealing what will probably be its subsequent electrical subcompact crossover. It will likely be offered in 2025, the identical 12 months through which Volkswagen mentioned we’ll have the ID.2.

You possibly can evaluate them your self beneath. Now we have accomplished that, and the comparability reveals each automobiles share the identical proportions and can in all probability have the identical wheelbase when they’re put on the market, even when their types are capable of set them apart.

With that affirmation, the speculation that Volkswagen could have a small hatchback known as ID.1 and the ID.2 as a small crossover is more likely. Based on AutoExpress, Seat intends to promote it for one thing between £17,000 and £22,000 – $23,500 and $30,400, based on the present alternate price.

These new electrical automobiles from Seat, Volkswagen, Skoda, and doubtless Audi will probably be constructed over the MEB Lite platform, which AutoExpress calls MEB Entry. Based on the British journal, these small electrical automobiles will probably be in-built Spain, extra exactly on the Martorell plant. The quantity targets for it are 500,000 per 12 months.

With such an output, it isn’t unlikely that the VW and Audi variants are additionally made there. Skoda ought to make its model of the subcompact EVs on the Mladá Boleslav plant or in one other Czechian facility as a result of aggressive prices they current.

All automobiles revamped the MEB Lite (or Entry) platform ought to price between €20,000 to €25,000 ($24,000 to $30,000). The MEB Lite is a less expensive model of the MEB, ready to deal with battery packs of as much as 45 kWh. In comparison with the e-CMP from Stellantis, it has a ten % smaller battery pack, one thing Volkswagen could attempt to compensate with higher vitality effectivity.

Contemplating VW plans to start out utilizing the unified cell in 2023, these small EVs ought to already current them. We’d guess they may have LFP unified cells since they’re extra inexpensive and strong, however Volkswagen additionally mentioned quantity automobiles may get the high manganese cells. Let’s see what prevails within the ID.1 and ID.2 instances, in addition to what Seat decides to call this subcompact crossover.
