VW ID 4 Electric SUV previewed in a glass box in a corner at Frankfurt
The big deal for Volkswagen is the ID 3, but lurking in a corner, in a glass box, sits a first look at the VW ID 4, an electric VW SUV for 2020. The Frankfurt Motor Show may be lacking some big names this year as car makes turn away from Motor Shows as a […]
Volkswagen’s big electric car gamble begins – the VW ID.3 is revealed
The Volkswagen big gamble that electric cars are mainstream ready, begins with the VW ID.3, revealed this evening at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new electric Volkswagen Up! – the VW e-Up! – is heading for debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show with a new battery delivering 160-mile range.

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet – yes, it’s a convertible T-Roc SUV
The Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet is revealed ahead of a debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show as VW fills a niche for a drop-top SUV we didn’t know existed.

Volkswagen boss says ‘Tipping Point’ for ELECTRIC cars is very close
As Volkswagen continues its electric car offensive, a VW boss claims the tipping point for electric cars – cost parity with ICE cars – is very close.

VW ELECTRIC car platform to underpin new FORD EV
Ford will take advantage of VW’s new MEB Platform for electric cars by building at least one new electric car for Europe in 2023.
