Volkswagen Id3

Volkswagen is seriously working on fully electrically powered models. After the e-Up and e-Golf appeared earlier, the brand even presented a fully electric sub-brand in 2016: the ID model line. In terms of design, in fact, similar to the (almost) fully electric i-sub brand from BMW. They kicked off with the Volkswagen ID Concept and the ID Buzz, ID Cross, ID Vizzion, race car ID R, ID Buggy and ID Roomzz have since been followed. All still concept cars, although some are already functioning.

In production

The first production version was the ID.3, a further developed version of the first ID concept car. It will definitely be an all-electric alternative to the Golf, for a comparable price. Volkswagen sees the car as a very important newcomer and that is reflected in the type name. After the Beetle and then the Golf, the ID.3 should be the third legendary success story for the brand. Hence that number.

Popular?


The ID.3 appeared on the market in the course of 2020. Whether the ID.3 will indeed become as legendary as the Beetle and Golf will only be known in a few decades. It can already be said that the electric car seems to be becoming popular. The 1ST Edition managed to reach more than 10,000 reservations within one day.
