The ID.3 hatchback and ID.4 crossover are only the tip of the iceberg as far as Volkswagen\u2019s electric portfolio. Several new EVs are in the pipeline, including the ID.4 GTX and ID.5<\/a> already confirmed to debut later this year. In addition, the iconic Microbus is coming back<\/a> in 2022 as a production version of the ID Buzz. Ok, but what about sedans?<\/p>\n VW is not ignoring the once traditional body style as \u201cProject Trinity\u201d as it is known internally will be a four-door car with a proper trunk and it will cost from \u20ac35,000. That\u2019s about $42,500 at current exchange rates. The reveal was made by the man in charge of the VW core brand, Ralf Brandstaetter, in an interview this week with the German magazine Welt am Sonntag<\/em><\/a>. While it\u2019s too early to talk about technical specifications, VW\u2019s boss did say the \u201cdynamic and streamlined car\u201d will be a little over four meters (157.4 inches) long, so shorter than a Jetta or a Passat.<\/p>\n Its final name is not known for the time being, but \u201cTrinity\u201d will be positioned above another electric sedan VW is working on, codenamed \u201cAero.\u201d<\/a> It\u2019ll be a long wait as the company\u2019s range-topping EV is not scheduled to arrive before 2026. When it does hit the market, the electric sedan to be built in Wolfsburg will have support for over-the-air updates and a level 3 semi-autonomous driving system.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, an entry-level electric car positioned below the ID.3<\/a> will be launched by the middle of the decade, priced from as low as \u20ac20,000 ($24,300). In the same interview, VW\u2019s boss revealed the ID.3 and ID.4 will be getting their first over-the-air updates in the first half of 2021. Ralf Brandstaetter proudly said VW is the only mainstream brand to push OTA updates, though he admitted there were some software issues with the two electric vehicles at launch.<\/p>\n
