Volkswagen ID. launch night this week at Mullingar Autos

Motorists in Westmeath have an opportunity to discover the next generation of electric motoring when Mullingar Autos Volkswagen hosts a special ID. launch night on Thursday, 22 October (6-8pm).

The event will form part of the dealership’s Customer Loyalty Event, running from October 21 to October 24, and will give visitors the opportunity to get a closer look at two of Volkswagen’s latest electric models: the all-new ID. Polo and the new ID.3 Neo.

The launch comes at a time when electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly important part of Ireland’s new car market. Figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) show that 35,195 new battery-electric cars were registered in Ireland between January and September 2026, an increase of 57.3% on the same period last year.

Battery-electric vehicles accounted for 27.43% of new-car registrations in September alone, underlining the growing interest in fully electric motoring.

For Volkswagen, the new models represent two different approaches to meeting the needs of drivers considering the switch to electric.

The all-new ID. Polo brings one of the brand’s best-known names into the electric era, with a compact design aimed at everyday driving. It is intended to make electric motoring an option for drivers who want a practical, familiar-sized car for commuting, shopping and family life.

The ID.3 Neo builds on Volkswagen’s established electric hatchback with refreshed styling, an updated interior and new technology. Depending on specification, this vehicle has a WLTP range of up to 627km.

For anyone considering an electric vehicle, seeing the cars in person can help answer some of the practical questions around space, comfort, technology, driving range and charging. The launch night will provide an opportunity to explore the models and speak with the Mullingar Autos team about making the move to electric.

James Bourke, brand manager at Mullingar Autos, said: “The move towards electric motoring is becoming an increasingly important conversation for drivers, and we want to make that transition easier to understand. The new ID. Polo and ID.3 Neo give us an exciting opportunity to show customers how electric vehicles are evolving, with practical design, new technology and options to suit different driving needs.

“Our launch night is about giving people the chance to see the cars up close, ask questions and discover what could work for them.”

Customer Loyalty Event

Alongside the launch, Mullingar Autos will be celebrating its existing Volkswagen customers with a Customer Loyalty Event offer featuring a €500 trade-in booster, which may be combined with other eligible special offers, subject to terms and conditions.

The dealership welcomes motorists from across Mullingar and the wider Westmeath area to visit its showroom at Dublin Bridge, Mullingar, on Thursday, 22 October, between 6pm and 8pm to discover the new ID. Polo and ID.3 Neo.
