Intelligent, innovative and sustainable: with the ID.3, Volkswagen is entering a new era of mobility.

Positioning

A new chapter in the history of Volkswagen. The third great chapter in the history of Volkswagen starts with the ID.3. Just like the first Beetle and the Golf Mk1, the all-electric compact car represents the start of a new era: it is the first electric car to offer unrestricted everyday usability while at the same time being affordable for millions of customers.

The modular electric drive matrix (MEB) on which the ID.3 is based serves as the technical foundation for the electric offensive and will permit realisation of many more electric models. The MEB fully exploits the possibilities offered by a fully electric drive: it provides the ID.3 with a very generously sized interior, powerful driving performance and ranges of up to 549 km (in WLTP). The fast charging capability is another strength when driving long distances.

Two model variants. The ID.3 will initially be launched on the market in two variants with differently sized batteries. The ID.3 Pro Performance will be priced from 35,574.95 euros and the ID.3 Pro S from 40,936.31 euros. Customers in Germany can additionally deduct a gross grant of 9,480 euros from these prices. What is more, the running costs are significantly below the level of a conventional car.

Volkswagen’s electric offensive is underway. The age of electric mobility will be intelligent, innovative and sustainable, and the system changeover at Volkswagen is in full swing: in the next four years, the Group will invest around 33 billion euros in electric mobility, 11 billion euros of which will be allocated to its largest brand. Volkswagen Group plans to launch up to 75 fully electric models by 2029 and to sell around 26 million electric vehicles in this period. An entire ecosystem of sustainable electric mobility will be established around these cars.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
