Wolfsburg - Volkswagen has released more details about its upcoming Golf-sized electric hatchback that’s due in 2020, and these new pictures, with less camo than previous teaser shots, give us a better idea of how it will look.ID doesn’t stand for identity, but rather ‘intelligent design’ and the number 3 signifies its class positioning as well as its significance in ushering in VW’s third major chapter after Beetle and Golf.
Although it won’t be cheap, owing to high battery prices, VW is pitching the ID.3 as one of the more accessible electric vehicles with pricing in the upper end of the Golf’s price range. The ID.3 will offer three different battery options with ranges of 330km, 420km and 550km on the WLTP cycle. The comprehensively equipped launch edition called ‘ID.3 1ST’ will come with a 420km battery and a price tag of under 40 000 euro .
The ID.3 is just the beginning of a much bigger electric vehicle chapter however, with the company planning to offer more than 20 purely electric vehicles by 2025, with annual volumes projected to exceed the million mark.
