Volkswagen is about to reveal the first electric GTI

After five decades, Volkswagen confirmed the first electric GTI, the ID. Polo GTI will make its debut on Friday, May 15.

It’s been almost three years since Volkswagen first unveiled the ID. GTI concept at the IAA Auto Show in September 2023.

This year marks the GTI’s 50th anniversary, and to celebrate, Volkswagen will launch the first all-electric GTI vehicle later this year.

We got a sneak peek of it at last year’s Munich Motor Show after Volkswagen revealed the ID. Polo GTI, a prototype of the upcoming electric hot hatch. The company confirmed at the event that the ID. GTI will go into production later this year as the ID. Polo GTI.

Volkswagen launched the standard ID. Polo in Europe just over a week ago, the first of its new family of entry-level EVs.
