The most exciting Volkswagen models coming by 2025: all you need to know
November 06, 2024 by Jamie Edkins
Car changing is a big deal
Volkswagen has a strong focus on its electric ID cars at the moment, and over the next few years you can expect to see more of these models debut. Here’s a look ahead at what you can expect to see from VW between now and the end of 2025.
It’s looking like exciting times ahead for Volkswagen, because in 2025 it’s due to launch the new ID2 – its most affordable electric car to date.
There’s also the new Tayron seven seater, an electric hot hatch and what is likely to be the brand’s last ever brand-new model powered by internal combustion.
New Volkswagen models in 2024
With 2024 quickly drawing to a close, let’s take a look back at the new models Volkswagen has brought us over the past year.
New Volkswagen Tayron
This is the new Volkswagen Tayron, and it replaces the Tiguan AllSpace as the brand’s large seven-seat SUV. It also shares a lot of parts with the new Tiguan, meaning you get the same range of efficient engines.
There are a few design tweaks to set the two cars apart. The Tayron has slightly more angular headlights and a different rear light bar, and it’s longer than the Tiguan to make space for the third row of seats.
Inside the Tayron isn’t as similar to the Tiguan as you might think. It has a different, multi-layered dashboard design with some posh-looking wood trim, but the infotainment system is the same. The Tayron will go on sale next year.
New Volkswagen Golf R
VW’s performance flagship has been given an update in 2024. The new Golf R gets similar styling tweaks to the standard Golf, including slimmer headlights and revised bumpers. There are also new alloy wheel designs to choose from.
It still has the same 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine as before, however it’s been tuned up from 320hp to 333hp, exactly the same as the new Audi S3. This means 0-60mph is dealt with in 4.6 seconds – 0.2 of a second quicker than before.
All cars get an upgraded 12.9-inch touchscreen inside, as well as a tweaked digital driver’s display and upgraded materials. Prices for the new Golf R start from £43,320, almost £1,000 less than the old car.
New Volkswagen ID Buzz GTX
If you’re after an EV to haul the family around, but are still seeking hot hatch thrills, the new Volkswagen ID Buzz GTX may scratch that itch. It’s packing a dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive and 340hp.
As a result this big bus will do 0-60mph in just 6.5 seconds, which is only slightly slower than the Golf GTI. You also get some sporty styling touches, including larger wheels and new bumpers.
Not only does the GTX get added performance, it marks the launch of the long-wheelbase ID Buzz. This is the first time the car has been offered with either six or seven seats, meaning you can show off your speedy MPV to more people.
New Volkswagen ID7 GTX
Sitting on the same 340hp dual-motor setup as the ID Buzz GTX is the new Volkswagen ID7 Tourer GTX. This fast wagon provides an alternative to the BMW i5 Touring, although VW hasn’t confirmed a 0-60mph time for this car just yet.
To help make this sporty model stand out, you have some larger alloy wheels than the standard car and more aggressive-looking front and rear bumpers. The cabin is also slightly tweaked with some body-hugging sports seats.
Order books for the ID7 GTX are open now, with prices starting from £61,500. That makes it over £10,000 more expensive than the standard car, however it’s still considerably cheaper than the equivalent BMW i5.
New Volkswagen ID3 GTX
The facelifted Volkswagen ID3 has been joined by a sporty GTX model as well, and it looks like a pretty exciting proposition. You get a 326hp electric motor powering the rear wheels, so this electric hatchback may be capable of some tail-out action through the corners.
To make this electric hot hatch more fun to drive than the standard ID3, the suspension has been lowered by 15mm at the front and 10mm at the rear, and you can get a performance pack which includes a sport mode to stiffen up the suspension.
You get the usual array of sporty styling upgrades over the standard ID3, including new alloy wheels and a more aggressive-looking bodykit. Step inside and you’ll notice the sports seats, as well as a flat-bottomed steering wheel.
New Volkswagen Transporter
In van news, the new Volkswagen Transporter is here. If it looks at all familiar, that’s because it’s another commercial vehicle to come from VW’s relationship with Ford, meaning it’s essentially a re-badged Transit Custom.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because the Transit is an excellent van. The Transporter has been given plenty of signature Volkswagen styling touches to help it stand out, but it’s both bigger than the outgoing model and it’ll take more weight in the back.
You can choose between panel van and passenger models, and there’s an all-electric version on offer as well. The range of diesel engines comes from Ford, meaning it gets a 2.0-litre unit with either 110hp, 150hp or 170hp.
New Volkswagen models coming in 2025
Now looking ahead, here’s what you can look forward to from Volkswagen over the next 12 months.
New Volkswagen T-Roc
The Volkswagen T-Roc is almost as popular as the iconic Golf in terms of sales, and the small SUV will enter its second generation in 2025. This Hyundai Kona alternative has been spotted testing by Carwow’s spy photographers, and it looks like it’s getting an all-new design.
Not much is known about the new T-Roc in terms of specs, however you can expect to see similar interior technology to the new VW Golf, along with the same range of engines as that car. This is expected to be the last all-new VW to get a petrol engine.
A full reveal is expected in early 2025, with sales starting towards the summer. There’s no word on price for the time being, however a figure of just over £30,000 would be a safe bet.
New Volkswagen ID2all
This is the Volkswagen ID2all, and it’s a new electric concept car which will cost less than £22,000 when it goes on sale in 2025.
It’s around the same size as a Golf and has up to 280 miles of range, as well as a 226hp electric motor powering the front wheels which can send it from 0-60mph in under 7.0 seconds. Inside there is an all-new infotainment system, as well as a massive boot which is around 90 litres bigger than the one in the Golf.
Design-wise you have slim LED headlights up front with a light bar across the bonnet, 20-inch alloy wheels and a pretty large roof spoiler at the back.
New Volkswagen IDGTI
In addition to the ID2all, Volkswagen has revealed a sporty GTI version. The IDGTI has a pretty similar design to the standard car, however it has a more sporty-looking bodykit with snazzy new alloy wheels.
While unconfirmed, this electric hot hatch could have around 320hp. This would put it in line with today’s Golf R, which should make for some rapid performance.
You can expect this car to make a debut in 2025, just after the ID2all. Price-wise a tag of around £25,000 seems likely.
