VW ID.1 will be manufactured in Portugal

After Volkswagen unveiled the concept of its most affordable electric car, the ID. EVERY1, a few days ago, the company has now announced that the car will not be manufactured in Germany but at Autoeuropa in Setubal, Portugal.

VW CEO Thomas Schaefer believes that Autoeuropa is one of the most cost-efficient plants in Europe and believes that the ID.1 will play an important role in attracting new customers. In an interview with Autonews, Schaefer said that VW could use Chinese suppliers for various parts, which would reduce costs compared to locally produced components.

The ID. EVERY1 is not the final name of the car. Some rumors say that the most affordable car will be called the ID.1. It will be 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 production version of the ID.1 will hit the market in 2027 and will be powered by a single electric motor with 94 hp, and will have 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.

The Batur Black Rose attracts attention with its Black Rose metallic paint, rose gold window trim and a multitude of Satin Rose Gold details on the bonnet, radiator grille, intakes, side mirrors and in the lower part of the body. It is mounted on a set of 22-inch wheels behind which are carbon-ceramic brakes with black brake calipers.

The interior was designed in collaboration with the company Cooksongold, and is decorated with details made from 210 grams of 18-carat rose gold using a 3D printer. Gold also adorns the gear lever, air vent pin, steering wheel, driving mode selector and moldings. The seats are upholstered in Beluga leather and gray tweed fabric, while Black Rose veneers complete the luxurious cabin.

Bentley did not say whether there have been any changes to the powertrain. As a reminder, the Batur is powered by a 6.0-L twin-turbocharged W12 engine with 750 hp (559 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque.
