Volkswagen ID.5 2022.

Volkswagen ID.5 2022 is available with new equipment and other prices: key details about the model have been revealed.

As it became known, the equipment level for the Volkswagen ID.5 2022 has been revised in the UK.

It affected directly the two variations Style and GTX Style.

Moreover, the car in this version is offered at more affordable prices. The engine range is still represented by three possible units.

So, the base version of the Volkswagen ID.5 dropped to 49,735 pounds (3.445 million rubles).

For reference, previously the cost of this modification began at 50,550 pounds sterling.

The list of options here is represented by a heat pump, a three-pin mains charging cable, a new infotainment package and so on.

Also worth noting is the presence of 19-inch Hamar wheels. A 77 kWh battery is installed, providing a range of 508 kilometers.

The Style Pro version offers three powertrain options. In general, the performance of the Volkswagen ID.5 is much the same as the current ID.3 and ID.4, which is due to the common architecture of the MEB.

To accelerate to 100 km/h the car needs about 10.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is set at 159 km/h.

The cost of this version starts from 51,210 pounds sterling (3.547 million rubles).

The Volkswagen ID.5 GTX Style is equipped with a four-wheel drive system and a 294-horsepower engine.

Here, the car requires much less time to accelerate to 100 km/h — only 6.3 seconds.

As for the maximum speed, it is limited to 193 km/h.

The list of options is expanded with 20-inch Drammen wheels, Sports Package Plus, adaptive shock absorbers and so on.

The price corresponds to 58,640 pounds sterling (4.061 million rubles).

Volkswagen ID.5 and ID.5 GTX double debut: all details about the new electric cross-coupe have been revealed.

The novelty is Volkswagen’s first coupe-like crossover on the MEB platform.

Volkswagen has unveiled the third model in its ID range, the electric crossover ID.5 and its «charged» version with GTX prefix.

In technical terms the novelty is unified with the ID.4, and the fundamental difference comes down to a coupe-shaped body: due to more streamlined shape drag coefficient decreased to 0.26.

The novelty will be offered with a 77-kilowatt-hour battery and three power plants to choose from.

The ID.5 is the first cross-coupe in Volkswagen’s lineup based on modular architecture.

At the same time, other brands belonging to the German concern already have models of a similar form factor on the same «bogie»: for example, Audi has the Q4 Sportback e-tron, and Skoda has the Enyaq Coupe iV.

The base ID.5 is equipped with a 174-horsepower electric motor installed on the rear axle.

This electric car accelerates to 100 kilometers per hour in 10.4 seconds and has a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour.

In the middle version, the power unit output is increased up to 204 horsepower, and in this case the acceleration up to a «hundred» takes 8.4 seconds.

Finally, the top ID.5 GTX is available with a 299-horsepower setup: it gains the first 100 kilometers per hour in 6.3 seconds, and the maximum speed limiter is shifted to 180 kilometers per hour.

The front-wheel-drive version has a range of 520 kilometers on the WLTP cycle, while the all-wheel-drive version has a range of 480 kilometers.

Volkswagen is preparing a large electric ID.8 crossover.

Already in entry level, the electric car is equipped with a 5.3-inch digital dashboard and a 12-inch multimedia system screen.

The equipment list includes a projection display, voice control, over-the-air software updates, and Travel Assist semi-autopilot and parking assistant.

The GTX version is complemented by a driving mode selection system with five settings and IQ.Light matrix headlights.

The cost of electric cross-coupe has not yet been announced, but we can assume that it will be a few thousand euros higher than the ID.4. For the latter are asked from 37,415 to 44,915 euros (3-3.7 million rubles at current exchange rates).
