Volkswagen expands electric ID range in Greece, Seat outlines new models

Volkswagen is advancing its shift to electric mobility in Greece, unveiling the ID. Polo and ID. 3 as examples of its ID series. Martin Sander, a board member responsible for sales and marketing, highlighted the need for charging infrastructure, competitive pricing and consumer education, noting that lessons from the Chinese market will help the company compete globally. The automaker also extended a 10‑year warranty on specific models to build buyer confidence.

Seat, also part of the Volkswagen Group, announced refreshed versions of the Ibiza and Arona and said both will receive mild‑hybrid powertrains from 2027. The brand will discontinue the Ateca and Tarraco, narrowing its line‑up to three internal‑combustion models. CEO Markus Haupt emphasized Seat’s strong position in markets such as Spain but pointed out that the high cost of electric platforms and tightening EU CO₂ limits will require a new strategy. He clarified that Seat will not produce low‑cost electric versions of Cupra models, keeping each brand’s identity distinct.
