What is the ID.5?
Volkswagen is working hard to expand its range of vehicles and the 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.
