The legendary Volkswagen Beetle could be reborn in the era of electric vehicles. Renderings of a possible Volkswagen ID. Beetle—a modern electric hatchback inspired by the iconic "Bug"—have surfaced online. Industrial designer Giorgi Tedoradze created these images. His concept shows how a new interpretation of the famous model might look within the Volkswagen ID. electric lineup.

The author's vision retains the Beetle's characteristic features: a rounded silhouette, smooth body lines, and the recognizable roofline. However, the design incorporates modern elements, including LED lighting, a minimalist front end, and more dynamic proportions. One notable difference in the concept is the addition of a second row of doors.

This would position the new ID. Beetle in the compact five-door segment, potentially offering an alternative to the future electric Volkswagen ID. Golf. This idea makes sense given the evolving strategy at Volkswagen.

The company is gradually moving away from separating its model range into distinct gasoline and electric lineups. In the future, many models could have both traditional and electric versions—like the Polo and ID. Polo or the Golf and ID. Golf. If such a project ever gets the green light, an electric Beetle could arrive around 2027.

Bringing back the Beetle in electric form could be a powerful marketing move for Volkswagen. The iconic design, paired with a modern electric platform, could attract both fans of the classic model and a new generation of buyers.
