The #volkswagenid3  is a battery electric small family car (C-segment) produced by Volkswagen since 2019. It is the first production car to utilize the MEB platform, and the first model of the ID. series. The ID.3 was unveiled on 9 September 2019 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, after being first shown as the I.D. concept car at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. Deliveries to retail customers began in Germany in September 2020.

The #id3 comes with a motor mounted just ahead of the rear axle and a single-speed transmission. The only versions available at launch make 201 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque. A downgraded version of the same motor with 143 horsepower is coming soon. A battery with 58 kWh of usable energy is standard, and a 77-kWh battery is optional.

The ID.3 is an all-electric five-door family hatchback and has the potential to offer mainstream appeal. The design is certainly practical; it’s slightly bigger than a VW Golf and has looks that easily take on close rivals like the Nissan Leaf or more compact Renault Zoe.

The ID.3 currently offers a choice of two battery sizes. The ID.3 Pro with the 58kWh battery, or the ID.3 Pro S with a larger 77kWh battery and a longer range. Both get a 201bhp rear-mounted electric motor. The 58kWh battery is enough for around 265 miles on a charge. To get more range, you'll need to go for the expensive Pro S range topper as this boosts range to 347 miles with its larger 77kWh battery.

In summary, the Volkswagen ID.3 is a blend of luxury, performance, and sustainability, making it a compelling choice for those in the market for an electric vehicle.
