Volkswagen is the leading electric vehicle seller in Europe. It may not be at the level of BYD or Tesla globally, but it is one of the top automakers in terms of EV sales globally as well. Europe is where it shines, though, and the new ID. Polo is an EV made for the European market. Now the company has unveiled the GTI version of the Volkswagen ID. Polo.

In fact, the Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI is the first GTI model that is fully electric, the first in 50 years of the GTI brand.

Is the ID. Polo GTI going to beat a Tesla Model S Plaid or Porsche Taycan at the track? No. But it is going to be a very fun, sporty little car.
