Summary
The Volkswagen ID. Polo 155 kW - 52 kWh (MY27) is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £26,830. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.1 seconds, slower than 58% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 208 miles (335 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 26% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 23rd of 67 hatchbacks.
It uses around 4.0 mi/kWh (154 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 51.7 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 95 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 226 miles (363 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Its UK starting price works out at £129 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).
