Volkswagen launches new ID.3 and ID.4 sales in the UK

Volkswagen has revealed UK prices for updated ID.4 and ID.5 electric cars. Both models based on the Group's MEB architecture are now available to order from Volkswagen UK retailers.

Prices start from £46,035 on the road for the ID.4 Life Pro. The ID.5 Style Pro comes in at £50,940.00 with the highest trim costing £56,545 and £53,865 for the ID.4 GTX 4Motion. The all-wheel-drive ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX now deliver a system power of 340 PS (250 kW), equivalent to an increase of 41 PS (30 kW). These models’ sprint from 0 to 62 mph is now just 5.4 seconds.

Volkswagen presented the two updated MEB models at this year’s IAA Mobility in Munich. Essential changes in brief: The APP550 electric drive, introduced in the ID.7, will be fitted to the rear axle of the drives from the Pro version upwards. With 210 kW and 550 Nm, it offers significantly better values than the predecessor engine (150 kW and 310 Nm) – and is said to be more efficient at the same time. The all-wheel-drive vehicles also gain power thanks to the new motor in the rear. Thanks to improvements in battery management, the charging performance increases, and the battery can be preconditioned. In addition, there are other changes apart from the drive, such as a retuned chassis, minor updates in the cockpit and the 4.0 software.
