This is Volkswagen’s first all-electric GTI – the new ID. Polo GTI. It’s the first fully electric model to wear the famous three-letter badge in the GTI’s 50-year history, and while it may swap petrol power for batteries, Volkswagen is making it very clear that this is still supposed to feel like a proper GTI.
I’ve had a good poke around the new ID. Polo GTI and while I can’t tell you what it’s like to drive – yet – it has all the design hallmarks that have made Volkswagen’s GTI models so popular over the years. In fact, in size and proportions the ID. Polo GTI is actually very close to the original Golf GTI from 1976.
