The car is available in special Montecarlo Blue, Perla Nera Black, Polar White, Mercure Gray, Elixir Red, and Light Blue. The roof is painted in the body color, but buyers can optionally choose Opal White or Perla Nera Black for the roof. It is equipped with the PLUS package that includes LED lights, cruise control, a USB-C port, a multimedia system with a 10.25-inch screen, support for Android Auto and Car Play systems, Bluetooth and a multifunction steering wheel, and 17-inch steel wheels. The vehicle also has several modern safety systems such as automatic braking, a lane keeping system, a traffic sign recognition system, and a driver fatigue monitoring system.

In the cabin, the rear seats have been replaced with a cargo platform with a partition and a grid that gives luggage space up to 1,220 liters. The maximum load capacity is 302 kilograms, and the maximum weight of the vehicle with cargo is 1,745 kilograms.

The Citroen e-C3 VAN is equipped with a 44 kWh battery that, thanks to a 100 kW fast charger, can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in 25 minutes. If a 7 kW charger is used, it takes four hours, or two hours and 50 minutes when using an 11 kW charger.

The car is powered by an electric motor with 113 hp and has an electric range of 323 km. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 11 seconds with a top speed of 132 km/h.

ID. EVERY1 is the most affordable VW EV

VW ID. EVERY1 is the most affordable electric car from the German manufacturer, with a starting price of around 20,000 euros. The concept car was presented on March 5, and its production version should arrive in 2027.

This car is supposed to replace the UP! model, which was discontinued in 2023, and the company says the production version will use a new software architecture. This means the future entry-level model will be able to receive new features throughout its lifecycle.

It is built on the modular MEB platform, like the ID. 2all, which has not yet entered production, and is expected to debut in 2026. It is 3,880 mm long, which means it is smaller than the ID. 2all (4,050 mm) and the current generation Polo (4,074 mm). The interior has a simple design with a large, centrally located touchscreen, buttons for controlling temperature, heating and sound volume. A removable Bluetooth speaker is located between the driver and front passenger. In front of the passenger is a changeable multi-function panel that can be used to attach various items such as a shelf or a tablet. The four-seater also offers a decent 305 liters of luggage space.

The ID EVERY1 is powered by a single electric motor with 94 hp, and has a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). It is not known which battery it will use, but VW promises a range of 250 kilometers.
