Volkswagen Unveils First All-Electric GTI: ID.Polo GTI

In May 2024, Volkswagen officially unveiled the ID. Polo GTI at the Nürburgring 24 Hours endurance race—the brand's first all-electric GTI model. Built on Volkswagen’s dedicated MEB electric platform, the new car combines the electric technology of the ID. family, the compact agility of the Polo, and the sporty DNA of GTI, marking the end of the internal-combustion-era Polo GTI. Exterior-wise, the ID. Polo GTI carries forward GTI’s iconic design cues while blending the Polo’s nimble styling with the ID. series’ electric-tech aesthetic, resulting in a highly distinctive look that balances sportiness and futuristic appeal. Positioned as an electrified continuation of Volkswagen GTI’s 50-year legacy of performance heritage, the ID. Polo GTI also represents a key step for the ID. family’s expansion into the high-performance and youth-oriented segments.
