VW LAUNCHES NEW ELECTRIC SUV FOR 2022

Volkswagen has unveiled its latest electric vehicle offering for 2022. The ID.5, which is VW's first-ever electric SUV coupé, retails at £47,000, has a 323-mile range and will be available to order early next year. The ID.5 has a sleeker roofline compared to the ID.4 whilst retaining its dual-motor all-wheel drive. Like previous ID. models, Volkswagen’s first e-SUV coupé is based on the Volkswagen modular electric drive matrix (MEB). The new ID.5 and ID.5 GTX are manufactured at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau and are carbonneutral upon handover to the customer. By 2030, at least 70 per cent of Volkswagen’s unit sales in Europe are expected to come from electric-only vehicles. “The ID.5 is electric, sporty and elegant. Our premium SUV coupé with all-electric drive marks another milestone in our ACCELERATE strategy,” says Ralf Brandstätter, brand CEO. “It offers locally carbon-neutral driving enjoyment for a discerning customer group. We are breaking into a completely new market segment with this model.”
