VW Group begins mass production of its small segment EVs

VW Group has started series production of its ‘Electric Urban Car Family’ series with the Volkswagen ID.Polo and Cupra Ravel in Martorell, Spain. Assembly of the Skoda Epiq started just days later at the automaker’s facility near Pamplona, Spain, the same site that will also produce the Volkswagen ID.Cross from later this year. While other European vehicle manufacturers have launched several small segment EVs, such as the Renault 5 and Citroen eC3, over the past two years, this is the first time the lineup of the region’s largest automotive group has offered vehicles in this segment since the all-electric Volkswagen UP! was discontinued in 2023.
