he first production model in the fully-electric ID. family features a new and pioneering design, higher ranges, and impressive driving dynamics. The overall package is backed up by an attractive pricing structure: The entry-level version of the ID.3 will cost less than 30,000 Euros. Even the exclusive, special edition ID.3 1st, with a 58-kWh battery and a range of roughly 420 kilometres (according to WLTP) will be available for less than 40,000 Euros.

The body panelling accommodates pioneering technologies from the modular electric drive matrix (MEB), which is used by the ID.3 as the first model in the Volkswagen Group. The high-voltage battery is installed low down in the underbody, ensuring a low centre of gravity and agile handling. The electric drive motor drives the rear wheels, resulting in excellent traction. The motor recuperates energy when the vehicle is braked and feeds this back into the battery. The wheels are aerodynamically optimised and have a diameter of 18 to 20 inches, while the tyres have only low rolling resistance.

As a characteristic design feature of the new ID. models, the ID.3 has short overhangs and a very long wheelbase. This results in the Open Space โ€“ the large, airy interior sets new standards in the compact class. The cockpit has a clean and concentrated appearance. The ID. Light beneath the windscreen visually communicates with passengers. The ID.3 is largely operated via the multifunction steering wheel, the central 10-inch touchscreen or the โ€œHello ID.โ€ intelligent voice control.

The electronics platform of the ID.3 has been newly designed from scratch. Two high-performance computers bundle a large number of functions, and the software is designed to be highly flexible like on a server. This makes it easy to download updates to the car, and in future also function upgrades, via a mobile network. The services of We Connect Start connect the car to the Page 7 ยฉ Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft The new ID.3 / International driving event / Volkswagen / July 2020 ownerโ€™s smartphone, allow control of charging and air conditioning, supply traffic information and also display live data about charging stations on the navigation map. App Connect (standard) permits media streaming via a smartphone.

The equipment options for the ID.3 come from the areas of design, infotainment, convenience, assistance and sport. They include high-tech features such as the augmented reality headup display, which projects important information onto the windscreen so that it appears to be three-dimensional. Travel Assist controls the distance to the vehicle in front and keeps the car in its lane. The LED matrix headlights provide an intelligently controlled main beam. If the ID.3 is unlocked by Keyless Access, its light module briefly swivels and welcomes the driver.

All ID.3 models can be charged with alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). When using direct current with a power rating of 125 kW, the ID.3 Pro S can be charged for a distance of a good 350 km in just 30 minutes. When on the road, the We Charge charging service provides access to more than 150,000 charge points in Europe. In the garage at home, the ID. Charger โ€“ the home charging station available in three variants โ€“ ensures convenient charging. Operation of the ID.3 is climate-neutral with Volkswagen green electricity from 100% renewable sources. Its production process already has a carbon-neutral balance.

The revolutionary character of the ID.3 is already clear at first glance. The exterior design of the car is both soft and flowing as well as firm and concentrated, it trusts in strong proportions and does without any superfluous trim elements. The ID.3 is a car for sustainable mobility and is a true Volkswagen at the same time.

The one-box design is a clear indication of how the ID.3 is built around its passengers. Its overhangs are unusually short, but the interior is very long because the axles have been moved well apart. The compact electric model has a wheelbase of 2,765 millimetres, which almost matches that of the Passat. The high-voltage battery is located as a flat block under the passenger cell. All the other technical components take up only little space: the drive unit is accommodated on the rear axle, while components such as the radiator and air conditioning system are located in the short front end.

The seven preconfigured models available at the market launch of the ID.3 optionally have a heat pump on board.
