About the Volkswagen ID.3 (2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The ID.3 is Volkswagen's electric compact five-door on the MEB platform, facelifted in 2023-2024 with better interior materials and revised software. The Pro version has 58 kWh net, 426 km WLTP and 204 hp; DC charging up to 120 kW. WLTP consumption is 15.6 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). A braked tow bar is not available.
In practice
Boot 385 litres. Over a full year, including winter trips, owners report mixed around 18.5 kWh/100km (owner forums, n≈18, not measured by us); that pushes the real range below the 426 km WLTP. The indicative list price rose from about 37,490 euro (reference date early 2024) to 38,990 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
Points to note
The software was the biggest point of criticism at launch; the facelift and the newer over-the-air versions resolved that in part. Reckon on about 15-25% more consumption than WLTP in winter (owner figure, public forums, not measured by us). Check during a test drive which software version is on the car, because the user experience differs strongly per version.
