Biker16 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Volkswagen Has A New Plan For EV Names. Here's What Comes Next Here's What Comes Next Goodbye, Volkswagen ID.2all. Hello, Volkswagen ID. Polo. Here's what comes after that. Volkswagen has announced a pivot away from unique names for its electric vehicles, like ID. 4 and so on. Instead, VW will lean on established nameplates and familiar models, starting with the ID.2all becoming the ID. Polo and ID. Polo GTI. An ID. Cross SUV is coming soon, an electric counterpart to the popular Volkswagen T-Cross. The so-called "legacy" car companies have faced an interesting conundrum in recent years: what on Earth are they supposed to call their electric vehicles? Do they give these things unique names, or lean on the strength of the established models that everyone knows and loves? More and more, they're moving toward the latter plan. Volkswagen is the latest to make such a move, announcing today that the VW ID.2all compact electric hatchback will go into production as the ID. Polo. And, in great news for gearheads everywhere, it will come with a faster and more powerful ID. Polo GTI version as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick73 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 In light of slow EV sales, the ID.2all play-on-word name seems a little out of touch or presumptuous. I can see wanting to change that one. I personally liked it but think others probably prefer Polo. Not that a new name will suddenly make it far more appealing though it can’t hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
