VW's first electric GTI sends 223 horsepower to the front wheels.
The ID. Polo GTI needs 6.8 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km/h).
It goes up to 263 miles (424 kilometers) on a single charge in the WLTP cycle.
Priced from under €39,000 in Germany.
Volkswagen has typically waited a few months, or even longer, before giving a new model the GTI treatment, but the ID. Polo bucks that trend. It’s only been a couple of weeks since the electric supermini broke cover, and it’s already getting the sporty treatment. Although the ID.3 GTX was technically the company’s first electric hot hatch, it’s only now that Wolfsburg feels confident enough to slap the iconic GTI badge on a car without a combustion engine.
