2023 Volkswagen ID.5 deals

Prices start from around £50,000 and in the mainstream part of the line-up, there's a choice of 'Style', 'Tech' or 'Max' trim levels, all three offered with a choice of Electric motors; either the 174PS 'Pro' unit or the 204PS 'Pro Performance' motor.

At the top of the range costing around £56,000 is the GTX variant, with its 299PS output and all-wheel drive: the GTX ID.5 comes in either 'Style' or 'Max' forms.

All versions of this model use the same 77kWh battery. There'll be tough competition, not only from this model's identically engineered Skoda Enyaq iV Coupe and Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron cousins but also from cars selling at this point like the Polestar 2 and the Kia EV6.

New MEB software means improvements to Volkswagen's 'Travel Assist' system, which is standard and which can do most of the driving for you at highway speeds. Standard equipment also includes the brand intelligent 'IQ.Light LED matrix' headlights and 3D LED rear tail lamps.

It's a pity though, that the 'DCC' dynamic chassis control adaptive damping system is optional, even on the flagship GTX variant. Volkswagen expects a popular option to be it's 'Top Sports' front seats, which are distinguished by perforated ID logos at the tops of the backrests.

All models also include the brand's 'Car2X' communication system which uses crowd-swarm data to warn you about traffic hazards ahead. Also standard is the company's neat 'ID.Light' system in the cabin, which provides visual warnings of safety system issues using the ambient lighting..
