Volkswagen ID.3

At a glance

Volkswagen is expanding its e-mobility campaign with a sporty flagship model: The ID.4 GTX is the new top-of-the-range model in the purely electric ID.4 model series.
The ID.5 is the first E-SUV coupé from Volkswagen. It is the all-electric top model with premium features based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB). The new ID.5 and the sporty ID.5 GTX with dual-motor all-wheel drive inspire with expressive design, long-distance capability and the latest software generation.
Powerful, sporty, expressive. The ID.5 GTX is the dynamic flagship of the model series. It is equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel drive system in which the electric drive motor on the front axle supports the rear motor as required. This combination is capable of delivering a maximum power of up 220 kW (299 PS). The model’s premium and athletic character is underlined by its generous standard equipment – including numerous assist systems and high-quality design accents. The ID.5 GTX also comes with all-rounder qualities and can pull a maximum trailer weight of up to 1,400 kilograms.
The ID.7 is, after the models ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.6 (only in China) and the ID. Buzz, the sixth model in the ID. Family and the second global car from Volkswagen based on MEB after the ID.4. The electric sedan will be launched in the three primary markets of China, Europe and North America. The ID.7 for the European market will be produced at the Volkswagen Emden plant. It is the second model based on the modular electric drive matrix to be built in Emden.
A generous interior developed according to a fundamental principle that has been continuously perfected over seven decades: maximum use of minimal space. Accompanied by short body overhangs, balanced weight distribution, a low centre of gravity and rear-wheel drive – these are the elements that have set the original apart in this class since 1950. Available in the future as fully electric versions based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB), in the form of the ID. Buzzand ID. Buzz Cargo

    The sportiest electric Volkswagen to date: Start of pre-sales for the ID.3 GTX Performance

    Volkswagen is upping the ante by launching a new, even sportier version of the ID.3 GTX.

    The new ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer - International Media Drive

    They are the two new flagship models of the ID.7 product line and the Volkswagen ID. family: the ID.7 GTX saloon and the ID.7 GTX Tourer estate car. Both electric vehicles are united by a highly dynamic drive performance. One electric drive motor on both the front and rear axles merge on board the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer to form the electric 4MOTION all-wheel drive. System power: 250 kW (340 PS). No other saloon or estate car from Volkswagen currently offers higher performance. The ID.7 GTX Tourer is also the most powerful Volkswagen estate ever built. It passes the 100 km/h mark in just 5.5 seconds. The saloon even completes the classic starting sprint a touch faster, namely in 5.4 seconds. The fascinating character of both GTX models is defined in particular by the noticeable punch with which full power is delivered from one second to the next. The exterior and interior are enhanced by GTX details such as distinctive bumpers and seats. The range of standard equipment has been expanded significantly: the GTX features include new 20-inch Skagen aluminium wheels, IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, 3D LED tail light clusters and illuminated Volkswagen logos at the front and rear.

The drive system question - The future of the car: The five greatest strengths of e-mobility

Does this sound familiar? Friends, colleagues and family members discussing whether electric cars are truly the future. Would other drive systems – particularly hydrogen – not be a better solution? Most scientists believe this question has already been answered. “It has been shown in many studies that electric drive systems are by far the most efficient methods for powering vehicles,” says Prof. Maximilian Fichtner, battery expert at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). We have summarised what you need to know in five points – the great strengths of e-mobility.
