I’ve been in Volkswagen’s new electric Polo, a sub-£25k EV with buttons, big space and up to 283 miles of range

The new Volkswagen ID. Polo will be on sale by the end of the year from under £25,000 - (Volkswagen)

Volkswagen is bringing one of its most recognisable names into the electric age, with the all-new ID. Polo. It’s the seventh generation of a car that’s already racked up more than 20 million sales, but this time it’s an ID electric car, although petrol Polos are likely to soldier on, too.

I’ve already had the chance to climb inside the new ID. Polo for a proper look around, and first impressions are strong. The design feels clean and modern without losing that familiar Polo identity, while the quality and design – both inside and out – is a clear step on with some delightful and surprising features. It feels solid, neatly put together and more grown-up than you might expect from a car in this class.
