Orders open for Volkswagen ID.5
Volkswagen’s style-focused and luxuriously appointed ID.5 and ID.5 GTX are now available to order from UK dealers.
As the new flagship of the ID. family, Volkswagen says the ID.5 offers a striking yet elegant SUV-coupé body style, a sumptuously appointed interior and an equipment list that leaves very little to be added as an optional extra – all the latest innovations and luxuries offered by the brand come together in this newest addition to the Volkswagen line-up.
The ID.5 is available with only the largest battery pack from the Volkswagen line-up – a 77 kWh (net) unit, providing a range of up to 313 miles. With a maximum recharging capacity of 135 kW, the ID.5 has a charge time of as little as 29 minutes to 80% at a rapid charger, or at a rate of six minutes to recharge 62 miles. The new model is available with three power options – 174 PS Pro, 204 PS Pro Performance, and 299 PS GTX.
The ID.5 is available in three distinct trim levels, all of which are fitted with an impressive level of equipment: Tech, Max, and the 299 PS* GTX Max featuring a bespoke, stand-alone performance trim.
Every ID.5 variant is equipped with luxuries such as a panoramic sunroof; ID.Light LED matrix headlights; 3D-LED tail lights; the latest iteration of the Travel Assist semi-autonomous assistance system; an electric tailgate; 3-zone climate control; Volkswagen’s Augmented Reality Head-Up Display; and 12-way electrically adjustable ArtVelour microfleece seats with massage function. With an equipment list that would not appear out of place on a high-end luxury car, the ID.5 offers substance in addition to style, as well as typical Volkswagen quality and usability.
Over the entry-level Tech trim, the ID.5 Max gains additional features including 20-inch ‘Drammen’ alloy wheels; Top-Sport ‘Plus’ seats; and the Sports Package Plus, which incorporates Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) with Driving Profile Selection, and progressive steering for additional driver engagement. The ID.5 Max and GTX Max also benefit from an energy-efficient heat pump.
Expected to take around 15% of ID.5 sales is the ID.5 GTX Max – the second Volkswagen to wear the new GTX badge after the ID.4 GTX. This 299 PS electric performance vehicle provides swifter acceleration thanks to the higher power delivered by its dual-motor all-wheel drive system.
The ID.5 GTX is capable of a 112 mph top speed, where permitted, and a 0 to 62 mph sprint time of 6.3 seconds. Externally, the new model is marked out by specific, sportily-styled bumpers with integrated AFS lights; 20-inch ‘Ystad’ alloy wheels; and the roof frame and C-pillar finished in glossy anthracite. The interior features further refinements, such as exclusive seat upholstery with contrasting red stitching, dark blue leatherette door panels, GTX-branded door sill protectors, and GTX logos on the steering wheel and digital screens – all of which enhance the interior ambience of the model with a modern, sporting feel. The ID.5 GTX Max starts at £58,640 RRP OTR.
So comprehensive are the ID.5 specifications that the additional options list for the model is short, with only colours, wheels and carefully selected extras specifiable.
It is not just the ID.5’s equipment list, battery and motor that set it apart, either – the innate qualities of Volkswagen’s ID. family provide benefits beyond luxury and technology. These include the dedicated MEB electric vehicle platform that enables a compact footprint for the ID.5 relative to its expansive interior space; the capability to receive software updates, ensuring the user benefits from the latest improvements; a network of customer-focused retailers with product experts on hand for any query; and dependability assured by the Volkswagen roundels front and rear.
Another positive aspect of choosing an ID. model is that UK market cars are manufactured net carbon-neutral in Zwickau, Germany – a factory powered by renewable energy. Volkswagen has worked closely with suppliers, in particular battery-cell manufacturers, to ensure that they too use renewable energy. Unavoidable emissions are compensated through internationally recognised climate protection projects. As a result, the ID.5 is delivered to customers as a net carbon-neutral product according to the independent auditing body TÜV NORD, which examines the entire supply chain, manufacturing process and all logistics.
In addition to the ID.5’s focus upon design, and the model’s rakish, elegant coupé shape, practicality is high on the agenda, with generous headroom and a 549-litre boot capacity.

Updated Volkswagen ID.5 line-up announced
The Volkswagen ID.5 has been updated with an additional trim level, available across all three of its powertrain variants. The ID.5 Style serves as the new entry-level derivative for the Pro, Pro Performance and GTX, starting at £49,735 for the 174 PS ID.5 Style Pro, and offers a comprehensive equipment list alongside a boost in value for the elegantly-styled, all-electric SUV-coupé.
The ID.5 Style expands the model’s trim line-up to five, and sits beneath the ID.5 Tech and ID.5 Max, while the ID.5 GTX Style slots in before the ID.5 GTX Max, as the entry-level model fitted with the GTX powertrain.
The Style follows the rest of the ID.5 range in offering a compelling equipment package, and as the entry-level model, leaves only a few items to be optionally specified. These include the energy efficient heat pump (£1,050); 3-pin mains charging cable (£190); Trailer Hitch (£890); and, over the other ID.5 models, the Infotainment Package Plus (£1,350), which adds the acclaimed augmented reality head-up display, as well as a Dynaudio digital sound package and subwoofer. A number of alternative alloy wheel designs and a vibrant array of paint colours can also be specified optionally, over the model’s standard Moonstone Grey paint and attractive 19-inch ‘Hamar’ wheels.
It is not just the ID.5’s equipment list, battery and motor that set it apart, either – the innate qualities of Volkswagen’s ID. family provide benefits beyond luxury and technology. These include the dedicated MEB electric vehicle platform that enables a compact footprint for the eye-catching ID.5 relative to its expansive interior space; the capability to receive software updates, ensuring the user benefits from the latest improvements; a network of customer-focused retailers with product experts on hand for any query; and dependability assured by the Volkswagen roundels front and rear.
Another positive aspect of choosing an ID. model is that UK market cars are manufactured net carbon-neutral in Zwickau, Germany – a factory powered by renewable energy. Volkswagen has worked closely with suppliers, in particular battery-cell manufacturers, to ensure that they too use renewable energy. Unavoidable emissions are compensated through internationally recognised climate protection projects. As a result, the ID.5 E SUV-coupé is delivered to customers as a net carbon-neutral product according to the independent auditing body TÜV NORD, which examines the entire supply chain, manufacturing process and all logistics.
Like other ID.5 models, the ID.5 Style is delivered with only the largest battery pack from the Volkswagen line-up – a 77 kWh (net) unit, providing a range of up to 316 miles. With a maximum recharging capacity of 135 kW, the whole ID.5 range has a charge time of as little as 29 minutes to 80% at a rapid charger, or at a rate of six minutes to recharge 62 miles. The new model is available with three power options – 174 PS Pro, 204 PS Pro Performance, and 299 PS GTX.
Francesca McGuinn, ID. Family Product Marketing Manager at Volkswagen UK, said: “The ID.5 is packed with every convenience, innovation and luxury that a customer might need, with only selected items on the optional extras list. That’s why it’s so exciting that the ID.5 Style has arrived, bringing with it a lower entry price for the model, but the same blend of sustainability, quality and head-turning style that mark out ID. models from their competitors.”

November 2023
Upgraded Volkswagen ID.5 prices start at £50,940
Volkswagen has upgraded its electric ID.5, with prices starting from £50,940.
The ID.5 features a new infotainment system with a larger 12.9-inch screen, improved menu structure and controls including illuminated sliders for cabin temperature.
In addition, the optional augmented-reality head-up display has been enhanced, and Volkswagen has moved the driving mode selector to the steering column – as in the ID.7 – to create space for the larger infotainment display.
The previous Volkswagen Digital Sound Package has been replaced by a premium sound system from Harman Kardon, featuring 480 Watts of music output and 10 speakers. The Harman Kardon sound system is optional on the rear-wheel-drive Pro trims and standard on the 4MOTION GTX versions in the UK.
All ID.5 versions are powered by Volkswagen’s new APP550 drive unit. Introduced for the first time for the ID.7, it offers 286PS and reduced energy consumption. The ID.5 SUV coupé now has a range of up to 339 miles - an extra 11.8 miles.
The all-wheel-drive ID.5 GTX now delivers a system power of 340PS, up 41PS from before. Charging is faster, too, while Volkswagen has added an optional paint colour for all models apart from the GTX: Costa Azul blue metallic.
