The all-electric Volkswagen ID.3 Neo compact hatchback goes on sale in the UK tomorrow, with prices starting from £33,080 OTR.
Available to order in two other trims – Style and a limited-run Style Launch Edition; their prices start from £38,500 and £39,750 respectively (on-the-road recommended retail prices including VAT).
All versions are eligible for the Government’s £1,500 Electric Car Grant.
The ID.3 Neo marks the introduction of three new and efficient batteries by Volkswagen: 50 kW, 58 kW and 79 kW.
Each battery has a longer range than its equivalent predecessor – up to 390 miles in the case of the 79 kW battery – and DC charging from 100 to 183 kWh means topping-up the battery from 10 to 80% takes as little as 26 minutes.
The Life trim focuses on function and comfort. Standard features include adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, a rear-view camera, a 12.9-inch infotainment system with satellite navigation and IDA voice assistant, and wireless charging with AppConnect.
The Style Launch Edition adds features such as a head-up display, panoramic glass roof, electric front seats with massage function, Travel Assist 3.0 and Park Assist Pro (for remote and memory parking).
Volkswagen is also introducing a new colour – Norwegian sea blue – and removing the black roof and tailgate.
