Volkswagen unveiled the ID.2all electric concept car Wednesday, previewing a model it plans to sell for less than 25,000 Euros ($26,500) starting in 2025.
The two-door subcompact is about 10 inches shorter in length than a VW Golf but has just as much interior space, thanks to the long wheelbase provided by its purpose-built battery-powered platform.
The front-wheel-drive two-door has a 223-horsepower powertrain and can accelerate to 60 mph in less than seven seconds.
Its range is estimated at 280 miles per charge on the European test cycle, which is typically more optimistic than U.S. ratings.
