Electric hot hatch: this is what the Volkswagen ID.3 costs GTX Performance
Nice rap
There it is: the “GTI” of the ID.3 family!
Volkswagen is leaving the name GTI in the closet for a while for their electric models, and so they are coming up with the GTX label.
With a 240 kW (326 hp) strong electric motor driving the rear wheels, the ID.3
GTX Performance is not a kitten to be handled without gloves.
It shoots from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds.
Its top speed is 200 km/h.
Thanks to a 79 kWh battery, it has a considerable range: 595 kilometers.
At a fast charger, it can handle 185 kW of charging power.
In half an hour you charge it back up to 80%.
Undercarriage
With a low center of gravity and balanced suspension, the car feels agile and stable, according to the German brand.
The suspension is sport-tuned, complete with multilink rear axle and large alloy wheels.
The Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) lets you control how the car responds, whether you want to drive sportily or prefer a more comfortable ride.
Sporty design
The sporty ID.3 is dressed up with all the fun stuff Volkswagen has to offer.
Black 20-inch rims, a sporty bumper and LED matrix lighting are standard, as are luxury sport seats and a sleekly finished interior, with red stitching and other sporty GTX accents.
