The new ID.3 –
valuable, likeable, digital

Key facts

More mature and higher quality The interior and exterior of the second ID.3 are at a new level.

Sharper exterior Specific new details such as the redesigned front end highlight the distinctive design language of the ID. family.

Sustainably enhanced interior The higher-quality interior creates a feel-good ambience thanks to improved materials, and the interplay of functionality, look and feel.

Latest-generation assist systems With the ID.3, Volkswagen already offers premium technologies and innovations in the compact class. The optional Travel Assist with swarm data is the next step on the path to highly automated driving.

Intuitive, day-to-day usability, customer-friendly The Electric Vehicle Route Planner, augmented reality head-up display and cloud-based voice control make everyday driving easy in the ID.3.

Up-to-date software The new ID.3 is equipped with the latest software. This improves system performance and is able to receive over-the-air updates.

Flexibly fulfilling needs The continuously enhanced ID. software also offers functions that can be activated later on (features on demand). Examples include the navigation system and the two-zone automatic comfort air conditioning.

Custom batteries Lithium-ion batteries with a net energy content of 58 kWh and 77 kWh are available. The range is up to 546 km (WLTP). A smaller battery is planned for the future.

Focus on sustainability The interior equipment is completely animal-free as standard and features a high proportion of recycled materials.

Climate-neutral balance Like its predecessor, the second generation of the ID.3 will be handed over to customers with a carbon-neutral balance.

The new ID.3 – upgraded and updated

With the second-generation of the ID.3, Volkswagen is continuing the success story of its ID. family. As part of its ACCELERATE strategy, on its way to becoming a zero-emission, software-based mobility service provider, the company has reached a further milestone one year earlier than planned. To date, more than 600,000 ID. models based on the modular electric drive (MEB) platform have been delivered to customers around the world. The Volkswagen product range now comprises six ID. models.

The ID.3 was the first electric vehicle based on the MEB platform in 2019. 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 colours, such as Dark Olivine Green, create a fresh look. Use of high-quality, animal-free and sustainable materials rounds off the overall appearance.

The new ID.3 demonstrates our commitment to value, design and sustainability. The design has matured, and we’ve upgraded the quality of the materials used in the interior.

4Carbon emissions are avoided and reduced directly at Volkswagen where possible. Upstream suppliers are placed under the obligation to avoid and reduce carbon emissions. Carbon emissions that cannot be avoided or reduced at Volkswagen or in the supply chain by placing upstream suppliers under said obligation, are offset to the same amount by certified projects that mitigate climate change.

5The driver assist function can only be used within the limits of the system. The driver must be prepared at all times to override the assistance system. These systems do not absolve drivers of their responsibility to drive with due care and attention. The operation can be disabled at any time.

6Travel Assist with swarm data: the system can be used up to the vehicle’s top speed. Only in combination with a navigation system. Only in combination with an active We Connect licence. The online components of Travel Assist with swarm data can only be used when there is mobile network coverage and if the relevant privacy settings have been activated. The online component can be disabled at any time in the We Connect ID. app. The online component of Travel Assist is available in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. To activate the online functions, you will need a Volkswagen ID user account, and must log into We Connect with your username and password. A separate We Connect contract must also be concluded with Volkswagen AG online. Following delivery of the vehicle, you have 90 days in which to activate the online component of Travel Assist with swarm data. Once this period has expired, the initial 3-year usage period (free of charge) for the online component of Travel Assist with swarm data will start. An integrated Internet connection enables the online component of Travel Assist with swarm data to be used. The related data charges incurred within Europe are borne by Volkswagen AG where network coverage is available. Depending on your mobile phone tariff, transferring data via the internet may incur additional charges (e.g. roaming charges), particularly if you are using it abroad. For the delivery of this service, certain personal data – such as location and IP address of the vehicle – has to be transferred. Further information about data processing is provided in the Privacy Policy for Travel Assist with swarm data. The availability of the individual services described in the packages can vary depending on the country.

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.
