Volkswagen Struggles To Keep Up With Demand: 30,000 Orders for a Single Model
Volkswagen said the response was very positive as it ramps up production to cut delivery delays for the entry-level EV.
- Volkswagen's new Polo is sold out across all trims after receiving over 30,000 orders since opening in April. The entry-level electric SUV is a key part of the company's strategy to compete with Chinese automakers like BYD.
- Last week, the supervisory board approved its Future Plan, mandating up to 100,000 global job cuts and plant closures. The German automaker aims to reduce costs and compete with rivals like BYD in the electric market.
- Polo Trend starts at about $29,000 with a 334 km range, while the Cross begins at roughly $32,000. Buyers now face at least a 10-month wait for delivery due to high demand.

- The Skoda Epiq and Cupra Raval, built at the same facility on the same MEB platform, face similar challenges. While the initial response has been strong, the company still faces an uphill battle to fulfill these orders.
