Volkswagen Golf
- Volkswagen introduced the eighth-generation Golf, which remains the best-selling car in Europe and one of the best-selling Volkswagen cars in the world. Even if it did not have the honors of a presentation at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019, unlike the ID 3, the new Golf will show commercial results much more important than it, since Inovev expects a production of 500 000 units a year, just in Europe.
- ID 3 will take several years to reach 100,000 units a year, which seems to be its maximum potential in the 2020s. But it is true that the ID 3 will recover some of the customers of the Golf which could have reached 550,000 or even 600,000 units a year in Europe, because both models are in direct competition.
- The new Golf retains almost the dimensions of the old and its production will be concentrated on the site of Wolfsburg (Germany) and no longer on two different sites (Wolfsburg and Zwickau) as before. ID 3 has taken its place on the Zwickau site.
- The new Golf is still based on the MQB platform. Finally, the 100% electric version is not renewed since it is replaced by ID 3.
Volkswagen ID 4
- After presenting the Volkswagen ID 3 at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September, the German carmaker unveiled few weeks after the Volkswagen ID 4 which a SUV variant of the ID 3.
- It has all the technical characteristics of the ID 3, is marketed in the C segment as the ID 3 and will be produced in the same production plant, in Zwickau (Germany).
- As for the ID 3, the ID 4 will be also marketed under Seat and Skoda brands, which will also be produced in Zwickau. All together, six different models from 3 different brands (3 sedans and 3 SUVs) will be produced in this plant.
- As a reminder, Volkswagen has set the production capacity of the Zwickau plant at 200,000 units per year of BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles), including 100 000 units for the ID 3 and its Seat and Skoda rebranded versions, and 100 000 units for the ID 4 and its Seat and Skoda versions.
- This volume should be reached in the second part of the 2020s, as the production will grow slowly and gradually. The market is not yet ready to buy massively a BEV.
