The Volkswagen ID.4 is bigger than the ID.3, so the ID.5 must be the biggest yet, right? Not quite. Volkswagen uses the same naming strategy as BMW with the X models. This new Volkswagen ID.5 is the sportier version of the ID.4, including a hip sloping roofline. It compares like the X4 to the X3. Or if you want to keep it within the same group, this is the Q4 Sportback from Volkswagen. Except for the sporty roof, the Volkswagen ID.5 is almost equal to the Volkswagen ID.4 when it comes to dimensions. The wheelbase is also the same.
The coupé roofline costs the Volkswagen ID.5 1.2 centimeters of headroom in the back. The luggage compartment is strangely enough on paper, but that is because it is measured to the parcel shelf. If you were to stack all the way to the roof, you would undoubtedly be able to store more in the ID.4. The luggage compartment is 6 liters larger in the ID.5, bringing the total capacity to 549 liters. The price of the newcomer will be slightly higher than that of the ID.4, although it is not yet known how expensive the Five will be. We are betting somewhere just under $50,000.
The engines of the new Volkswagen ID.5
The Volkswagen ID.5 also comes as a GTX with 299 hp and four-wheel drive. The 0-100 time is 6.3 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h. The normal versions all have rear-wheel drive. The Pro offers 174 hp and 310 Nm, plus a range of 520 km. The Pro Performance goes to 204 hp with the same torque and an identical range. All versions have the same 77 kWh battery. The Volkswagen ID.5 is charged with a maximum of 135 kW, which means that you can tap just under 400 kilometers in half an hour. An update is underway for the ID.4 to go from 125 to 135 kW as well.
And where is the Volkswagen ID.6?
Now you have to wait for the ID.6, you would think, but it is already there. In China, Volkswagen already pulled the curtain on the ID.6 earlier this year. This is not an even sportier version of the ID.4, but a family box that can seat seven people. There are currently no known plans to bring the large MPV to Europe.
