Volkswagen has unveiled its second-generation ID.3 electric compact vehicle, featuring an edgy, sportier exterior design and an upgraded modern interior that focuses on sustainability. The ID.3 has been a top-selling EV in several European nations since its introduction in 2019, with over 600,000 models sold to date.
The refreshed ID.3 has a dynamic exterior design with a newly designed front bumper and enlarged air intake, giving it a “muscular and sporty” appearance. Improved aerodynamics have led to a predicted drag coefficient of 0.263. The vehicle also features new, upgraded headlights and taillights that improve visibility on the road.
On the inside, the vehicle features Artevelours Eco for the door trims and seat covers, which are 71% recyclable. The ID.3 is only 4.26 meters long but has a wheelbase of 2.77 meters, giving it a deceptively spacious interior space. It is powered by an electric motor located in the rear that delivers an output of 150 kW (210 hp) and 310 nm torque. Two battery options – 58 and 77 kWh – offer range options between 426 km (about 265 miles) and 546 km (about 339 miles).
