The Volkswagen ID. Polo has secured three major industry awards shortly after its market launch. The electric small car received the Golden Steering Wheel 2026 in the category for vehicles priced under €25,000.
The model was also named the overall winner of the German Car of the Year 2027 title, following a victory in the budget car category. An independent jury of 47 journalists selected the vehicle after two days of testing.
In the Autonis 2026 readers' poll conducted by auto motor und sport, the ID. Polo took first place in the small car category. This marks the first award for Volkswagen's new Pure Positive design language.
The vehicle is currently among the seven finalists for the European Car of the Year 2027 award. The winner will be announced on January 8, 2027, at the Brussels Motor Show.
The ID. Polo features a starting price of €24,995 in Germany. It offers a range of up to 454 kilometers and a maximum luggage capacity of 1,240 liters with the rear seats folded.
