Design
The new Volkswagen DoKa electric pickup is built on a Ford platform, but it still carries that VW personality. It’s not a “look at me” kind of truck — more of a quiet, dependable workmate. The front end has that familiar Volkswagen face, while the overall shape leans more toward practical than stylish. It actually reminds me a bit of the old Amarok, just smoothed out for today. You can tell it’s designed with getting the job done in mind rather than winning beauty contests.

Step inside and you’ll see it’s more about function than frills. The cabin feels solid, with materials that look like they’ll survive years of muddy boots and coffee spills. I like that it still has proper buttons for common controls — you’re not forced to poke at a touchscreen for everything. The rear seats are comfortable enough for a small crew, and there’s decent storage for tools or gear.
Engine Options
Of course, being electric, there’s no engine growl — just a gentle hum when you set off. The nice thing is the power’s there the second you tap the pedal. That’s a big help if you’ve got a load in the back or you’re pulling out into traffic. Since it’s built on a Ford base, it’ll probably feel a lot like driving an electric Ranger — familiar if you’ve tried one, but quieter and smoother.
Mileage
Range is expected to land somewhere around 250–300 miles on a charge, depending on how much weight you’re hauling and how you drive. That’s plenty for most city and suburban work days. It’s not aimed at cross‑country hauling, but for daily jobs, it works.
Price
Volkswagen hasn’t shared the exact numbers yet, but it should land somewhere in the mid‑range for electric pickups. For a practical, no‑nonsense EV work truck, that feels about right.
