Volkswagen has enhanced its ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5 electric car range, with new trims and features, along with more affordable pricing.
For the ID.3 hatchback, two new trims are available: Pure Essential and Pure Match. Both have the new entry-level 52 kWh battery that can be charged at up to 145 kW DC giving a range of approximately 240 miles alongside a motor with 170 PS of power. The battery can be topped up from 10 to 80% in a quick 25 minutes. The Pure Match has more standard features than the Pure Essential, including 18in East Derry alloy wheels, metallic paint, and a comfort package, which includes heated front seats, navigation, two-zone Climatronic air conditioning, a rear-view camera, carpet mats and tinted windows. The ID.3 Pure Essential and Pure Match are priced at £30,850 and £32,210 respectively (on-the-road manufacturer’s direct prices including VAT).
The ID.4 Pure Match now includes 19in Hamar alloy wheels, however its price is now lowered by £3,090 to £39,550 (on-the-road manufacturer’s direct price including VAT).
The ID.5 line-up, meanwhile, is also being bolstered by a Pure Match trim, which has the same entry-level 52 kWh battery as the new ID.3 trims described above. Maximum range for the ID.5 Pure Match is about 222 miles, and its attractive list of standard features includes 19in Hamar alloy wheels, metallic paint, comfort package, rear-view camera, carpet mats and tinted windows. It is available at £41,050 (on-the-road manufacturer’s direct price including VAT).
For the GTX Edition trims, the ID.4 and ID.5 both promise pulse-quickening acceleration thanks to 340 PS of power; the 0-62 mph sprint will take just 5.4 seconds, and their top speed (where permitted) will nudge 112 mph.
Specification in addition to existing GTX models includes metallic paint, the Assistance Pack Plus (area view camera, electric tailgate, IQ. Drive Travel Assist, Park Assist Plus, memory feature for Park Assist and side assist) and the Interior Sport Pack Plus (power-adjustable ergoActive comfort seats with massage function, integrated front head restraints and ArtVelours microfleece inserts). These features would normally cost around £6,500 when ordered as options, but prices for the ID.4 GTX Edition and ID.5 GTX Edition represent notable value at £52,205 and £53,705 respectively (on-the-road manufacturer’s direct prices including VAT).
