Volkswagen ID.3 Neo

Updates for the new Volkswagen ID.3 ‘Neo’, and the ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7

The successor to the Volkswagen ID.3 is called the ID.3 Neo and it will celebrate its world premiere in mid-April.

There will be a number of updates for the ID.3 Neo, as well as for the ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7, and new ID. models: ID. Polo, ID. Polo GTI and ID. Cross.

ID.4 and ID.5 Pure entry-level models will be more efficient and will have greater range; with a new 58 kWh (net) lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) high-voltage battery, this results in an increase of up to around 25 miles for the ID.4.

New software includes traffic light detection and One Pedal Driving; the ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7 are already available to order as the first models equipped with this software, and will also feature the new Innovision infotainment system which integrates a new app store.

All new ID. models also now feature a Vehicle-to-Load function, allowing them to supply power to external electrical devices. This is possible using a 230 V socket in the interior and, with a separate adapter, also via the mode 3 connection of the charging socket.

The new Volkswagen electric models in the small and compact vehicle segments – ID. Polo, ID. Polo GTI, ID. Cross – will also soon be launched on the market with these new features.

All future ID. models have buttons on the steering wheel that improve intuitive operation of car controls.

A digital key is now also available as an option for all models. This enables access to the vehicle using a mobile device (smartphone, smartwatch) and supplements the traditional vehicle key.
