100% Electric, 100% GTI: Introducing the All-New Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI

The GTI enters a bold new chapter with the world premiere of the all-new Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI. For the first time in the 50-year history of Volkswagen’s iconic performance badge, the GTI is fully electric.

Combining instant electric performance, advanced chassis technology and everyday practicality, the new ID. Polo GTI delivers everything enthusiasts expect from a GTI, reimagined for the electric age.

Electric Performance with Genuine GTI Character

Powered by a 166 kW (226 PS) electric motor producing 290 Nm of torque, the ID. Polo GTI accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.8 seconds. As with every GTI before it, power is sent to the front wheels, enhanced by a standard electronically controlled front differential lock for exceptional traction and sharp cornering.

The standard adaptive DCC sports suspension and progressive steering further enhance driving dynamics, while a dedicated GTI driving profile instantly sharpens the vehicle’s steering, suspension and throttle response at the touch of a button.

Everyday Electric Practicality

Despite its sporting credentials, the ID. Polo GTI is designed for daily life.

• Up to 424 km (263 miles) WLTP electric range
• 52 kWh net battery capacity
• DC rapid charging from 10 to 80% in around 24 minutes
• 441 litres of boot space

• Towing capacity of up to 1.2 tonnes

The spacious interior offers more passenger room and greater luggage capacity than the previous petrol-powered Volkswagen Polo GTI.

Key exterior highlights include:
