When is the premiere?

ID.3 will be shown for the first time without camouflage, at the IAA International Motor Show in Frankfurt. The first vehicles are expected to roll onto the roads in summer 2020. Interested parties can already register for a car. The specially configured special edition ID.3 1^ST is limited to 30,000 vehicles^.

All ID.3 1^ST are equipped with 58 kWh powerful batteries, which allow up to 420km of range (expected after WLTP). The 1,000 Euro reservation fee is offset against the purchase price of the car – just under 40,000 euros. Shortly after the IAA in September, the ordering phase starts in most markets. Buyers can then place a binding order for one of the three exclusive ID.3 1^ST models with their preferred Volkswagen contractual partner. In Germany, the binding order will take effect in April 2020. Until then, registrations can be cancelled free of charge. In such cases, the registration fee will immediately be refunded.

Pre-booking is offered in 29 European markets. The most important markets for ID.3 in Europe are Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Great Britain and Austria. The basic model, which will be available at a later date, is to be launched on the German market for a list price of less than 30,000 euros. For 2020, the Volkswagen brand plans to sell a total of around 150,000 electric cars, of which around 100,000 are based on the MEB.

What is the range?

Volkswagen will offer batteries in various sizes. If the owner of an ID. attaches less importance to long range – for example because they mainly traveling in the city and only drive short distances – a battery with a lower energy content will suffice. This makes the car cheaper. The entry-level model of the ID.3 is expected to cost less than 30,000 euros.

Anyone who frequently drives long distances will opt for a larger battery. This makes the range of driving possibilities more broad. Depending on the battery and vehicle type, maximum ranges of approx. 330 to 550 kilometers (both expected after WLTP) can be achieved. Volkswagen was also able to design the batteries for a charging capacity of up to 125 kilowatts – a value never achieved in the ID.3 segment before. It both accelerates charging and shortens charging stops.

Which ID. models will follow?

By 2025, the brand aims to be the global number one with more than 20 all-electric models and more than one million vehicles sold each year that are emission-free and connected. In addition to the ID.3, Volkswagen has already developed a whole series of other models for various target groups in the form of the ID.-Family. Like the ID.3, these concept vehicles should be electric, efficient and locally emission-free.

The Crossover ID. CROZZ is characterized by a clear, powerful design. Thanks to the compact electric drive and the lithium-ion battery integrated in the vehicle floor, the ultra-modern SUV look is also continued into the interior. The result is the so-called “Open Space”, a lounge-like space concept with four variable individual seats.

The ID. Vizzion is Volkswagen’s vision of a luxury saloon that intelligently combines progressive design with pioneering technology. In addition, with the ID. BUZZ, Volkswagen are putting the legendary Bulli back on the road – with the most advanced technology and a flexible space concept for maximum freedom.

The ID. ROOMZZ is a multivariable zero emission SUV of the five-meter class. The series version of the ID. ROOMZZ, which is tailored equally to families and business, is to be put on the road from 2021.
