Volkswagen is planning a significant transformation in the design of its vehicles, promising a “new design language” for the upcoming ID.3 and ID.4 models.
This change aims to enhance both aesthetics and interior quality, bringing back traditional controls such as physical buttons for easier access to vehicle functions without heavily relying on touch screen menus.
Volkswagen also promises an upgrade in material quality to address criticisms of the Golf Mk8 compared to its predecessor.
Additionally, the brand is working on improving battery costs and performance, which is expected to result in more affordable and efficient vehicles. These revamped models are set to reduce production costs, benefiting both Volkswagen and consumers by delivering a more robust and competitive market experience. The new electric models are scheduled for release in 2026.
While the ID.3 is at the forefront of this transformation, it is still unclear if the name will remain. Volkswagen has already announced that the next-generation Golf will be fully electric. Kai Grünitz, Volkswagen’s Head of Development, suggested that the introduction of an electric Golf could make the ID.3 redundant since both vehicles would target the same customer base. The Golf could potentially replace the ID.3 as the flagship model of the brand’s electric lineup.
