WATT MATTERS?

The ID.5 gives Volkswagen's electric SUV formula a sleeker roofline and a slightly more expressive appearance. The practical differences matter more than the styling suggests.

THE BASICS

A coupe-styled battery-electric SUV related to the ID.4, with variant-dependent range and drivetrain. The lower roofline changes the space equation, particularly for rear passengers and luggage.
