2027 Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI 166 kW - Specifications and price

The name of the manufacturer.

The model name of the electric car.

The code/name that denotes the level of equipment of the EV including exterior and interior features, battery packs, electric motors, etc.

The year for which the model is announced by the manufacturer. Most often it does not completely coincide with the calendar year in which the model is available on the market.

Markets in which this electric vehicle is available.

Current MSRP of the model (before incentives) depending on the market.

The body style of the model as defined by the number of doors and roof treatment.

Materials used in the vehicle's body construction.

Available exterior colors for the model as specified by the manufacturer.

Available interior colors for the model as specified by the manufacturer.

Number of doors for passengers. Depending on the body style, the doors can be two, four, etc.

Number of seats inclduing the driver and passenger ones. Depending on the model, the seats can be five, six, seven or other.

The distance from the frontmost to the rearmost point of the electric vehicle.

The width of the vehicle without mirrors.

The distance from the ground to the top of the electric car.

The distance between the centers of the front and rear axle.

The distance from the foremost point of the vehicle to the middle of the front axle. In other words, this is the length that extends to the front of the wheelbase. Combined with the rear overhang and the wheelbase, this gives the total length of the vehicle.

The distance from the middle of the rear axle to the rearmost point of the vehicle. In other words, this is the length that extends to the rear of the wheelbase. Combined with the front overhang and the wheelbase, this gives the total length of the vehicle.

The vertical distance from the vehicle's roof to the front seats bottom.

The vertical distance from the vehicle's roof to the rear seats bottom.

The distance available for the legs of the driver and the front passenger.

The distance available for the legs of the rear passengers.

The available space for cargo in the main trunk, excluding the additional available space from folding one or two rear seat rows.

The maximum available space for cargo in the main trunk, including the additional available space from folding one or two rear seat rows.

Curb weight (a.k.a. kerb weight) is the EV mass with standard equipment, liquids (oils and fuel at nominal tank capacity) but without cargo and passengers. In some EU countries, the curb weight also includes the weight of a 75 kg (165 lb) driver.

The braked towing capacity designates the maximum weight the vehicle can tow when the trailer has its own braking system. This enables a higher towing capacity since the vehicle does not handle the entire stopping force on its own.

The name of the manufacturer of the electric motor.

The model name of the electric motor.

The electric motor category according to the type of motor commutation. Most electric motors operate on magnetism and can be powered by direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) sources. Depending on the type of commutation, electric motors are either self-commutated (AC and DC, mechanical or electronic) and externally commutated (AC only, asynchronous or synchronous).

Information about the electric notor's location. The two most common locations are the front and rear of the electric car.

The power produced by the electric motor depends proportionally on the motor's rotational speed.

The electric motor's rotational speed measured in RPM when the motor achieves its maximum power.

Torque is the driving force of an electric motor and is the rotational equivalent of a linear force. A typical feature of electric cars is that they get full torque from zero speed.

Regenerative braking is a typical feature of electric vehicles, in which the electric motor uses the vehicle's kinetic energy to save power or stores it for later use.

Some manufacturers include software designed driving modes to improve power efficiency and/or range. Information about the available driving modes for this model.

Additional details about the electric motor of this model.

The top speed that the vehicle can achieve as specified by the manufacturer.

The time in seconds the electric car needs to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

Information about the energy class of the electric vehicle.

Information about the design type of the steering mechanism of the electric car.

Information about the type of power steering used in this model.

Information about the type of transmission used by the vehicle. Generally, EVs are equipped with one-speed automatic units.

Information about the type of drivetrain (the system that delivers power to the driving wheels).

Information about the main components of the front suspension of the electric vehicle.

Information about the main components of the rear suspension of the electric vehicle.

Additional details about the suspension of this model.

Usable battery capacity (also referred to as net capacity) is the portion of an EV's total kWh that the vehicle can actually draw on while driving. It represents the energy the vehicle's management system makes available for real‑world use, excluding the built‑in safety buffers that protect the battery from overcharging or being drained too deeply. These reserved margins are essential for preserving long‑term performance and durability.

Total, or gross, battery capacity describes the full amount of energy an EV's battery pack can physically store, measured in kilowatt‑hours (kWh). Automakers intentionally reserve a hidden buffer at both the top and bottom of the battery's charge range. By preventing the pack from ever reaching a true 0% or 100% state of charge, this minimizes stress on the cells, slows long‑term degradation, and helps extend the lifespan of the battery.

The type of rechargeable battery depending on its composition.

The specific cathode materials determine the battery's energy density, driving range, safety, and cost.

The EV battery cell nominal voltage depends on the cell chemistry. For example, NCM batteries typically have 3.5-3.7V, while LFP batteries have around 3.2V

The fully charged voltage (upper cutoff) of 4.2V is the absolute maximum voltage allowed for a single NMC cell during charging. It represents a 100% State of Charge (SoC). Exceeding it, will damage the cell.

The EV battery cell cutoff voltage is the minimum voltage a cell should maintain when fully discharged. Dropping below this level will damage the cell.

Information about the position of the battery pack in the electric vehicle.
