The GTI just went electric and Nevo were there to see it happen.
Nevo Managing Director, Simon Andreucetti attended Volkswagen’s exclusive True event in Hamburg for the world debut of the all-new ID. Polo GTI, the first ever all electric GTI in the model’s 50 year history.
In this video, we take you inside the launch: the styling, the interior, the performance, and everything you need to know about Volkswagen’s boldest hot hatch yet. 226 PS, 0 to 100 in 6.8 seconds, up to 424 km of range and a GTI driving mode that transforms the entire cockpit at the press of a button.
