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.

What’s under the bonnet?

Opt for the VW ID.5 Pro Match or Pro Black Edition and you benefits from a 77kWh battery and capable of taking a charge of 135kW - this can take the battery from 0-80% in less than 30 minutes.

The Pure Match offers 170 PS and has a range of up to 313 miles between charges, whilst the Pro Performance has 201bhp yet still manages the same range figure. Max models have the same outputs but the range is 227 miles.

If you’re looking for something more sporty, the ID.5 GTX offers 340 PS and has a range of up to 327 miles. With all-wheel-drive courtesy of a dual-motor system, it can go from 0-60mph in under six seconds.

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.
