The new Volkswagen ID.3 Neo compact hatchback has an all-new interior and drive system with an electric range of up to 390 miles and prices from £33,080, and all versions are eligible for the Government’s £1,500 Electric Car Grant.
The ID.3 Neo marks the introduction of three new and efficient batteries: 50 kW, 58 kW and 79 kW. Each battery has a longer range than its equivalent predecessor – up to 258 miles, 306 miles and 390 miles respectively – and DC charging from 100 to 183 kW means topping-up the battery from 10 to 80 per cent takes as little as 26 minutes.
The ID.3 Neo’s exterior design is significantly enhanced, while its interior and drive systems are all new.
New features include one-pedal driving, where the vehicle recuperates energy into the battery when braking until it comes to a standstill, and enhanced Travel Assist with traffic light detection.
The car also has Volkswagen’s new Innovision infotainment system, which promises improved usability and performance, seamless device integration, and an in-car shop for additional apps and features such as games.
Additionally, customers can order an optional vehicle-to-load adapter, which can be used to power external devices such as e-bikes directly from the high-voltage battery.
Volkswagen says it has listened to customer feedback and has fundamentally rethought the interior of the ID.3 Neo. Ergonomic and easy-to-understand controls, handy buttons and intuitive rotary knobs improve day-to-day usability, while fewer black gloss elements reduce the appearance of fingerprints. The 10.25-inch driver’s display and 12.9-inch infotainment screen can be switched to retro mode – just as they can in the forthcoming Volkswagen ID. Polo and ID. Cross.
The ID.3 Neo is available to order in the UK in three trims – Life, Style and a limited-run Style Launch Edition, with prices starting from £33,080, £38,500 and £39,750 respectively.
