VW’s Electric ID.3 Goes On Sale In Europe On July 20, Priced From €35,575 In Germany

It’s been four weeks since VW started to finalize the orders for the ID.3 First Edition and on July 20, the German carmaker will open the order books for everyone.

The new VW ID.3 will go on sale in many European countries, offering customers the choice between seven trim levels and the option to order the appropriate charging equipment at the same time.

In its home market of Germany, the range at this launch phase kicks off with the base ID.3 Pro Performance model, priced from €35,575 ($40,600 in current exchange rates). It features the mid-range 58 kWh battery pack for a driving range of up to 261 miles (420 km) on the WLTP cycle, a 201 HP electric motor that drives the rear wheels and compatibility with 100 kW fast-charging.

The base Pro Performance version of the VW ID.3 will feature a navigation system with a special range-optimization mode, adaptive cruise control, and wireless charging.

The rest of the range includes the Life, Style, Business, Family, Max, and Tech trim levels, the latter being the most expensive with the 58 kWh battery at the moment, priced from €44,810 ($51,125).

In addition to the ID.3’s aforementioned seven trim levels, customers in Germany will also get the chance to order the electric VW hatchback with the larger 77 kWh battery pack in the four-seat ProS and Tour trim levels. Prices for the 77 kWh version of the VW ID.3 start from €40,936 ($46,705).

The larger battery pack allows the ID.3 a longer driving range of 341 miles (550 km) and faster 125 kW fast-charging capability. The Tour trim level, priced from €45,917 ($52,389), comes loaded with matrix LED headlights, 12-way massage seats, all the available driver assistance systems as standard, as well as 19-inch alloy wheels, among other.

As we reported earlier, customers will be given the option to take delivery of their new ID.3 either in October or in early 2021. Those wishing to take delivery in October won’t have the AppConnect and augmented reality head-up display functions enabled (in the case of the Max and Tech trim levels) in their cars until the first quarter of 2021.

The VW ID.3 is eligible for subsidies in Germany and other European countries. In its home market, the electric VW hatchback is eligible for the maximum environmental bonus for EVs, which is a total of €9,480 ($10,800).

VW also aims to launch a more affordable ID.3 with a smaller 45 kWh battery and 205 miles (330 km) of range in the near future.
