All models receive DC fast-charging capability as standard, which is notable considering that most low-end EVs still reserve the ability to charge at such a high level only for their higher trim models. In terms of measurements, the ID. Polo stands 4,053 mm long, 1,816 mm wide, and 1,530 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,600 mm. Despite its small size, owing to its conversion into MEB+, the car gains significantly more space inside.

The new vehicle’s interior design revolves around its unique concept that includes the incorporation of the 26 cm-sized Digital Cockpit within the driver’s line of vision and a 33 cm infotainment screen placed centrally in the dash. The physical buttons for basic features have also been retained.

The ID. Polo has a retro display mode that imitates the style of the instrument cluster of the Golf I facelift version. In addition, there are three variants of the equipment lines available in the new Polo which include the Trend, Life, and Style variants. The Trend variant gets features such as LED lights, automatic climate control, and DC charging capabilities.
