With the second-generation of the ID.3, Volkswagen is continuing the success story of its ID. family. Two and a half years after the launch of the first generation, the all-electric bestseller is now coming to the market with a comprehensive upgrade. Alongside the latest software with all convenience and assist systems, the vehicle impresses above all with its newly sharpened exterior and the refined interior design. New colors, such as Dark Olivine Green, create a fresh new look, while the overall appearance is rounded off by the use of top-quality, animal-free and sustainable materials.

Fresh design, higher-quality materials and the latest-generation assist systems: that is the new ID.3.

In addition to the latest software, the compact electric car comes with a sharpened exterior and refined interior design.

Volkswagen makes the interior of the ID. models even more sustainable
Volkswagen is making the all-electric ID. family even more sustainable – including the choice of materials for the interior. During the course of this year, the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7 will receive selected innovations that were first used in mass production in the ID. Buzz. As one example of this, VW uses Seaqual® yarn as a seat cover material. This is made from 10 per cent collected marine debris and 90 per cent recycled PES yarn. The CO2 emissions from production are almost one third lower than for conventional cover materials. -
Wolfsburg plant: Volkswagen will train 22,000 production employees for e-mobility by 2025
Europe’s largest car manufacturing complex is launching a retraining campaign to train and develop production employees in e-mobility. The Volkswagen brand is thus forging ahead with converting its German plants to the production of electric vehicles. Following on from the Zwickau and Emden passenger car plants, the Wolfsburg factory will also become an electric vehicle factory over the next few years. This fundamental transformation is not only to be grounded in specialist training, but also has an emotional side: The Wolfsburg factory has opened an eMotionRoom where over the coming months 22.000 production employees can enjoy an entertaining experience of the transformation process from ICE to electric vehicles.
