The electric version of the VW Polo compact car (ID.Polo) has been available for order since late April, but reports indicate the model has only been on display at dealerships for a few days. Now, this compact car is generating a significant amount of revenue for Germany’s largest automaker, with over 30,000 units already ordered. The ID.Polo is manufactured at the Martorell plant in Spain, near Barcelona. As a VW spokeswoman further explained, high demand and production capacities that were initially planned for the long term are currently resulting in longer delivery times. However, the company is working to gradually ramp up production. She did not disclose how long customers currently have to wait, noting that the specific delivery date also depends on the trim level.

The ID.Polo has to Make its Mark!

Preconfigured vehicles, on the other hand, can be purchased immediately at VW dealerships with no wait—starting at around 25,000 euros (28,750 US dollars) for the base model. The four standalone models (ID.Polo, VW ID. Cross, Škoda Epiq, and Cupra Raval) in the vehicle family share over 80 percent of their components and technologies. However, they differ in terms of design, driving experience, and certain features, among other things. And it appears that VW has struck a chord with customers, notes VW brand chief Thomas Schäfer. There are now over 100,000 orders for all four models combined. That’s a good thing, because given the challenges facing the Wolfsburg-based (Germany) company, this model is particularly important for the future. The “shot” with the Polo has to hit the mark, as one industry expert put it.
