Volkswagen has unveiled its latest electric vehicle offering for 2022. The ID.5, which is VW’s first-ever electric SUV coupé, retails at £47,000, has a 323-mile range and will be available to order early next year.
The ID.5 has a sleeker roofline compared to the ID.4 whilst retaining its dual-motor all-wheel drive. Like previous ID. models, Volkswagen’s first e-SUV coupé is based on the Volkswagen modular electric drive matrix (MEB).
The new ID.5 and ID.5 GTX are manufactured at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau and are carbon-neutral upon handover to the customer. By 2030, at least 70 per cent of Volkswagen’s unit sales in Europe are expected to come from electric-only vehicles.
“The ID.5 is electric, sporty and elegant. Our premium SUV coupé with all-electric drive marks another milestone in our ACCELERATE strategy,” says Ralf Brandstätter, brand CEO. “It offers locally carbon-neutral driving enjoyment for a discerning customer group. We are breaking into a completely new market segment with this model.”
