Volkswagen R will become an electric-only performance brand by 2030, and it already has several EVs in the pipeline ⚡ Read more:
“The globally successful products from Volkswagen R are part of this exciting change process and will stand in [the] future for sustainable electric mobility.”
Future R models would therefore adopt the Volkswagen Group’s upcoming electric-only Scalable Systems Platform , which will be the only EV chassis used across the group from 2026, albeit with performance-oriented tweaks. However, this effectively shuts the door on any models getting an electric R variant while they’re still sold primarily as ICE cars, given the huge costs it would mean for cars on different platforms to be built.
Elsewhere, Volkswagen confirmed that the new-look R sub-brand will also focus on “quick and convenient” charging for its EVs, which given the future models’ range-topping position would mean peak charging rates of more than the ID 5 GTX’s 150kW – which charges it from 10-80% in around 25 minutes – will likely be seen.
