The subcompact hatchback rendered by pixel artist Kleber Silva is supposed to replace the Polo with crossover-ish traits. Just like the A-segment ID.1, the ID.2 is supposed to use low-cost lithium ferrophosphate.
Although it doesn’t have the energy density of lithium-cobalt-oxide batteries, lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are free of cobalt and nickel, making the LFP chemistry that much cheaper. LFP offers a longer cycle life than other lithium-ion batteries, and the lithium-iron-phosphate cathode is safer too. Oh, and by the way, LFP batteries are harder to ignite.
Volkswagen AG board member of technical development, Dr. Frank Welsch, believes that batteries of up to 60 kWh could be used for the smallest models in the ID. lineup. The gross capacity would match the 62-kWh battery of the ID.3 Pro that sits between the Pure and Pro S variants.
Automotive News Europe believes that an entry-level ID.2 would cost from €20,000 in Germany, which is $23,950 at current exchange rates. That is a little hard to believe if you remember how much the e-Up! costs, namely €21,421 or the equivalent to $25,650. Preliminary reports and rumors further suggest a single-motor layout with 100 to 150 metric horsepower.
Let that sink in for a minute, then remember how many ponies and pound-feet of torque Renault offered in the fan-bleeding-tastic Twingo Renaultsport 133. It may be a heavier car than the French hot hatchback with a 1.6-liter engine, but the VW ID.2 has the makings of a fun car as well.

OPPONENTS OF WEIGHT
The new Volkswagen Polo waiting in 2017 (read more HERE) will be used as the basis for a short crossover, inspired by the prototype T-Cross Breeze and with the specified size for the city: should measure approximately 425 cm and will be a very difficult opponent for similar cars such as the Fiat 500 x and Renault Captur, within a price range of the market continues to grow and where competition is very tight.

2018 Volkswagen Polo crossover Updates engine
The small crossover of Volkswagen will be based on MQB platform construction, in version A0 also used the next Polo and Fabia, Ibiza, and will be available with front-wheel drive or integral. The main engine is supposed to be the three-cylinder 1.0 TSI turbo petrol, recently mounted a few months ago on the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf, but should not miss the 1.6 TDI diesel as an alternative. Aesthetics will be inspired by the prototype T-Cross Breeze, launched in March 2016, which will provide some insights to update the front: the front bezel will grow horizontally until including headlights and daytime will be separated from the main headlights, earning a slot that will serve to fill better. You can order the optional dual clutch automatic transmission, as usual on all Volkswagen. The name of the car is still unknown.
