These are the best Volkswagen models coming before 2030
Car changing is a big deal
Volkswagen has been busy in 2026 with the launch of the new T Roc, ID Polo and the ID3 Neo, and there’s plenty more to come over the next few years.
If you’re in the market for a new Volkswagen, there are a few new cars coming soon which are well worth waiting for. Everything from tiny, affordable electric cars to performance SUVs are in the pipeline.
Here’s a full rundown of all the new Volkswagen models coming between now and 2030.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
New Volkswagen ID Polo
This is the new Volkswagen ID Polo, and it’s a small electric hatchback to take on the Renault 5 and Fiat Grande Panda Electric. Prices could start from as little as £22,000, and we’ve been to see the car in person.
You get loads of rear seat space, plenty of clever storage and a massive 441-litre boot – 115 litres more than you get in a Renault 5. The ID Polo can do up to 283 miles on a charge, first UK deliveries are expected later this year. A spicy GTI version is also coming early next year with 226hp and more aggressive styling.
New Volkswagen ID3 Neo
The Volkswagen ID3 was the brand’s first bespoke electric car, and now it’s had a massive update for 2026. The exterior design may not be all that different, but inside there are some significant changes.
It has an all-new dashboard layout with a tall centre console and physical buttons replacing the annoying touch sliders you got in the old car. The ID3 Neo also has some more efficient motor and battery options, boosting the range by 20 miles to 391 miles.
New Volkswagen ID Cross
You can think of the new Volkswagen ID Cross as being an electric version of the current T-Cross small SUV. It’ll sit alongside the ID Polo, and it’s expected to go on sale in early 2027.
The ID Cross has a 211hp electric motor powering the front wheels, and VW expects this car to have up to 260 miles of range. That’s 20 miles less than the ID Polo, but this is to be expected on a taller and heavier car.
New Volkswagen ID Tiguan
The Volkswagen ID4 is being replaced soon by the ID Tiguan, but we still expect it to be a heavily-revised version of the ID4 under the skin – a bit like what the ID3 Neo is to the ID3. These spy shots show a few subtle styling changes, such as the sleeker lights, but it retains the ID4’s slightly blobby proportions.
Exact details are thin on the ground, but you can expect an overhauled interior with plenty of physical buttons for things like the climate control, replacing the touch-sensitive buttons you get currently. It may also have some new battery tech to boost efficiency, possibly boosting range to around 370 miles if the ID3 Neo is anything to go by. A full reveal of the new Volkswagen ID Tiguan is expected by the end of 2026.
New Volkswagen T-Roc R
Volkswagen is working on a hot version of its small SUV. The new T-Roc R is expected to debut later this year, and you can expect to see plenty of tech shared with the Volkswagen Golf R.
It’ll almost certainly use the same 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine as that car, and we expect it to have 333hp. A drift mode could also be offered for those who want to turn their tyres to dust. Styling upgrades are tricky to spot on this camouflaged prototype, but you can just about see the quad tailpipes poking out of the lower diffuser.
New Volkswagen Tiguan R
Another performance SUV making a comeback, the new Volkswagen Tiguan R is expected to use the same 2.0-litre petrol engine as the Golf R. This means it could have 333hp on tap, 13hp more than the old car.
At a glance, the car in these spy shots looks similar to our old Tiguan R Line long term test car. Look closer though and you’ll spot the extra air intakes in the lower front bumper, as well as the quad tailpipes at the rear. A full reveal is expected in 2027.
Volkswagen ID Every1
Volkswagen hasn’t had a tiny city car since the Up was discontinued back in 2023, but now it has a spiritual successor in the ID Every1. This electric car is smaller than the ID Polo, and a production version is scheduled for a reveal in 2027.
It uses a 95hp electric motor, and VW says it will have “at least” 155 miles of range. That’s 15 miles more than the Dacia Spring can manage, and there may also be a version which can go further than this. Expect a price tag of below £20,000 when this car goes on sale.
