Volkswagen will launch its cheapest ID-badged electric car yet in 2025 – and this new concept provides a far-fetched preview into how it will look.

Inside, the ID. Life eschews traditional freestanding instrument and infotainment screens in favour of a minimalist, wood-veneer dashboard with an integrated touch surface for headlights and climate controls, along with a truncated steering wheel equipped with a touch-sensitive central panel used for gear selection, indicators, wipers and the horn.

The front seat bench can be reclined for relaxation, or folded forward completely to “transform” the ID. Life’s interior into a “comfortable cinema or gaming lounge”, making use of a pull-up fabric screen, integrated game console and projector that can display video games or, using a high-voltage power socket, any movie or TV content from the passengers’ devices.

Volkswagen claims 410 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 1285 litres with the second row folded – joined by a 108-litre compartment below the boot floor, a 68-litre area under the front ‘bonnet’, and an eight-litre storage area under a second protective panel up front, used for housing the charging cable, and a household power outlet.
