Volkswagen is coming up with a new affordable electric model

Volkswagen will unveil a new small and affordable electric SUV called the ID.2X at the Motor Show in September in Munich.

The VW ID.2X will serve as the brand's zero-emission alternative to its highly popular T-Cross and as a rival to the upcoming Renault 4 E-Tech.

As the name suggests, this will be a car similar to the Volkswagen ID.2 that will arrive at the end of this year and may bear the name ID.Polo, reports Telegraph.

The ID.2 is just two of the entry-level electric cars that Volkswagen Group has on the road, the others being the Cupra Raval supermini and the Skoda Epiq crossover.

All four will use the same MEB Entry platform and will be built in Spain.

Volkswagen has also announced that it will unveil an electric car concept called the ID.ÇDO 1 in March.

The model is already scheduled to arrive in 2027 and will cost under £18,000.

Otherwise, the ID.2 will be available with a choice of 38kWh and 58kWh batteries and this should also be the case with the ID.2X.

As for price, the ID.2 is expected to start at around £20,000, so the ID.2X is likely to start at £25,000. /Telegraph/
