Selected models from the Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5 ranges now qualify for the level-two £1,500 Government Electric Car Grant (ECG) discount.
Discount will be applied automatically at the point of purchase, with no requirement for customers to complete any additional steps. Prices with the discount applied for the ID.4 and ID.5 start from £35,495.
The eligible models are the ID.4 Pure Essential 52 kWh 170 PS one-speed automatic five-door, ID.4 Pure Match 52 kWh 170 PS one-speed automatic five-door, ID.4 Pro Essential 77 kWh 286 PS one-speed automatic five-door, ID.5 Pure Match 52 kWh 170 PS one-speed automatic five-door, and the ID.5 Pro Essential 77 kWh 286 PS one-speed automatic five-door.
The ID.4 was Volkswagen’s first fully-electric SUV, and the brand’s first global electric vehicle, when it was launched in 2021.
The ID.5 was launched in the UK early in 2022. An upgrade in October 2023 extended the vehicle’s range to 339 miles (WLTP) and increased DC charging capacity for all-wheel-drive models from 135 to 175 kW – allowing vehicles to take on enough energy for a further 178 kilometres in about 10 minutes.
To qualify for the grant, Volkswagen is required to meet strict technical and sustainability standards – something the brand already builds into its manufacturing process, from using hemp-based imitation leather in car interiors to supporting the large-scale expansion of renewable energies across Europe.
