Los coches eléctricos fabricados en España disparan los pedidos de Volkswagen: "Es un éxito enorme"

Volkswagen's Spanish-made electric car family has boosted demand for electric vehicles across the German group's volume brands, including Skoda and Cupra. The four Spanish-made electric models - Cupra Raval, Volkswagen ID. Polo, Skoda Epiq and Volkswagen ID. Cross - have seen a surge in orders, with a 60% increase in Q3 2026 compared to the same period last year, according to Volkswagen's latest commercial results.

Most of these orders are for the four Spanish-made electric models, with the Volkswagen ID. Polo and Cupra Raval produced at the Martorell plant and the Volkswagen ID. Cross and Skoda Epiq at Pamplona. The Cupra Raval starts at €24,200, with a version under €20,000 expected soon with government assistance. Volkswagen says the strong demand for these new electric models is mainly due to rising fuel prices and the fact that these four vehicles are now the most affordable in the electric range, often priced around €25,000 even with commercial campaigns and public subsidies.

In Germany, where electric vehicles make up more than a third of new registrations, the order increase has been even higher than in other countries with lower demand for electric cars. In Spain, near 150,000 orders have been received for the new family of urban electric vehicles just months after their launch. Martin Sander, head of sales, marketing and service at Volkswagen, attributes the success to the high prices of fuel and the wide range of affordable electric models.

The Volkswagen ID. Cross is available from €25,600, while the Skoda Epiq starts at €22,800 with discounts and Auto+ plan financing.
