Updated VW ID4 and ID5: pricing and range

Volkswagen has announced the pricing and range for the updated ID4 and the ID5 coupe, which are available to order now.

The new models are fitted with more powerful electric motors and an updated infotainment touchscreen.

All ID4 and ID5 versions are equipped with Volkswagen’s new APP550 drive unit. Introduced for the first time for the ID7, it offers significantly more power together with reduced energy consumption.

The unit delivers 286PS and gives the vehicles 75% more torque than previously, jumping from 310 to 545Nm.

The sporty and all-wheel-drive ID4 GTX and ID5 GTX now deliver a system power of 340PS, equivalent to an increase of 41PS, and can sprint from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds.

The powertrains all use a 77kWh battery. Improved efficiency means the combined WLTP range of the ID4 has increased to up to 337 miles (10.5 miles further than before) while the ID5 now has a range of up to 339 miles (an extra 11.8 miles).

Faster charging is also possible: thermal management makes sure the battery is pre-conditioned while driving, before the next DC charging stop, and the all-wheel-drive models now offer 175kW DC charging (previously 135 kW). With the maximum charging capacity, these ID versions can take on enough energy for a further 110 miles in about 10 minutes.

Both the ID4 and ID5 now feature a new-generation infotainment system, complete with a larger 12.9-inch screen and revised menu structure and controls – including illuminated sliders for cabin temperature. The optional augmented-reality head-up display has been enhanced, and Volkswagen has moved the driving mode selector to the steering column – as in the ID7 – to create space for the larger infotainment display. 

A new IDA voice assistant, which responds even more precisely to natural voice commands and offers new functions, including cloud-based weather information and the status of sporting events or stock market prices, is also installed.

The previous Volkswagen Digital Sound Package with subwoofer has been replaced by a premium sound system from Harman Kardon. The new sound system is optional on the rear-wheel-drive Pro trims and standard on the 4Motion GTX versions in the UK.
