New Volkswagen id5 for sale

What is the ID.5?

Volkswagen is working hard to expand its range of vehicles and the VW ID.5 is the latest addition to their electric car range. Designed to replicate shape of an SUV, this car offers space and capacity to carry a larger family. This combined with other design give it a little coupe-esque flair.

It’s based on the more conventional SUV shape of the ID.4 but sacrifices some practicality in favour of style. You still get all of the modern technology we’ve come to expect in this range, as well as big batteries - there’s even a performance-focused GTX version.

What’s new?

If you’re familiar with the ID.4, then there’s not a great deal that’s particularly new here. That’s no bad thing though, as you get a big battery with different range and power outputs, depending on your needs.

There’s also fast charging capability, whilst the latest software updates enable the ID.5 to use ‘swarm’ data and allows it to communicate with other vehicles to warn of approaching hazards, for example.

How does it look?

Volkswagen has done a fantastic job of giving the traditional SUV shape a shake-up for its ID models and the stylish ID.5 is no different. It has a chunky yet curvy appearance, with a prominent grille in the lower front bumper and slim LED headlights.

At the rear, you have that sloping roofline that gives a decidedly sporty impression, with a subtle spoiler above similarly slimline LED lights at the rear. Large alloy wheels fill the arches nicely, while sharp lines in the bodywork break up the larger panels well.

What’s it like inside?

The ID.5 is a big car and this is particularly evident once you climb inside. For those in the front, there’s loads of space, with a high roof and ample room between driver and passenger. There are also large, modern screens on the dashboard that take control of most of the functions within the vehicle.
