The current one Volkswagen ID The naming scheme for its electric vehicles (EV) is scrapped in favor of a little more in accordance with the history of the brand.
Martin Sander, the head of marketing and sales of Volkswagen Brand, told Car and economy The new EV models from Volkswagen “get proper names”.

It is unclear which names Volkswagen want to use for these cars and future electric vehicles, and Mr. Sander simply says that the company will “announce that time comes”.
Previous rumors showed that the next generation Golf, which will only be an electrical model, would be baptized. Golf. In view of this, Volkswagen intends to keep the current petrol and diesel golf in production up to the next decade and to sell it in addition to the new EV Golf that has the ID. The prefix enables the differentiation between the two cars and at the same time maintains the name recognition and inheritance of the durable golf badge.
If this rumor turns out to be true, the ID. 2all could be the ID. Golf, during the smaller ID. Every 1 could be the ID. High. It is possible that Volkswagen will go down the Chevrolet route and simply call these cars the Golf EV and on EV.
Of course, another way is to give these cars completely new names that may be related to the existing ICE car (Internal Engine) in its class.
The brand has a story with it. For example, the limo’s limo was once known as a derby, while the golf’s booted variant was the jetta – both are named after air flows, the Gulf Stream and the Jet Stream.
Volkswagen EV is currently transporting the ID. Subruded, followed by a number, with larger numbers that mean larger or more expensive vehicles. Like the alphanumeric systems from Hyundai and Kia, Volkswagen -ID names do not differ like hatches and limousines from Crossovers.
The return to “Sewers” follows from a statement in 2023 by Andreas Mindt, Volkswagen’s Head of Design that the brand would drop the current, rounded, rounded, cabin-striker design of the ID cars for something more normal and more traditional for its next generation electric vehicles.
The shift has already started with the company’s concept cars that were not for their ID. The badge could easily end as a version of its next generation ice vehicles.
This includes the 2023 ID. 2all, 2025 ID. Every1 and the ID. Aura, id. Era and id. Evo, which was recently presented at the Shanghai Autosalon 2025.
