VW's iconic hot hatch will live on into the electric era with a similar formula.

. At the time, there were rumors the production version of the ID.2all would bear the Golf nameplate. With confirmation that the ID.GTI Concept is based upon the small hatchback, and is production bound, it seems like a solid bet the ID.Golf could be a lock as the production ID.2all's name.

Plans call to put the ID.2all into production in 2026 as an entry point with a cost effective price ofThe ID.GTI Concept is powered by a single front motor and features front-wheel drive, just like today's GTI. Due to the electric motor's limitless variability VW said it can adjust the powertrain, steering, and sound to simulate past models shift points and driving experiences from the original 1976 Golf GTI, first 16-valve GTI Mark 2, or even a 2001 GTI Mark 4.Volkswagen ID.

The ID.GTI Concept is about two inches wider, 1.4 inches taller, 7.2 inches shorter overall with a 1.2-inch shorter wheelbase than today's GTI. While the current GTI can haul to up 19.9 cubic feet of cargo, the ID.GTI Concept can stow up to 17.3 cubic feet of stuff behind the second row of seats and 47 cubic feet of space behind the front seats with the 60:40 rear seats folded. There's also 1.8 cubic feet of additional storage under the rear seat bottom.

Visually there's no question the ID.GTI Concept is a Golf GTI for the modern era. The slim LED lights, red radiator grille, thick C-pillar, and GTI logos are all longstanding hallmarks. The wheel wells are filled by 20-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 245/35R20 performance tires.Volkswagen released only sketches and elements of the interior, but no full interior photos. The concept car is said to feature a three-spoke steering wheel with a 12 o'clock marker as a driver reference point.
