Volkswagen presented its new electric trump card, which is a slightly different sibling of the ID.4 model.
Volkswagen's onslaught of new electric vehicles continues today with the introduction of a new model codenamed the ID.5. The model will be available in two versions – standard and GTX-badged – with three trim levels and three powertrain options. ID. The well-known shape of the model, which bears the number 5 in its name, is the result of the fact that it shares many "parts" with the ID.4 model. Both have the same wheelbase and identical overall length, although the ID.5 has a coupé-like roof that sets it apart from the more traditional ID.4.
Although the ID.5 is based on the architecture of the MEB company, it is not a complete copy of the ID.4 under the sheet itself. Unlike the ID.4, the ID.5 has only one battery – the one with 77 kilowatt hours. It connects to one of three electric motor outputs, depending on the equipment - ID.5 Pro, ID.5 Pro Performance or ID.5 GTX.
VW says the Pro Performance should offer up to 520 kilometers of range in the European WLTP test cycle. GTX 480 km.
The sloping roofline of the Model 5 covers the model's cargo space, which offers 549 liters, which is also sufficient for the needs of a family.
Inside, the ID.5 looks exactly like the ID.4, with the same infotainment screen. It should start arriving on European markets next year - possibly as early as the first quarter, at slightly higher prices than the ID.4 model.
