Overview
- Volkswagen introduced the ID.3 Neo as a major update to its compact electric hatchback with cleaner styling that now features a full-width front light bar.
- Inside, the car brings back physical buttons and knobs, adds a redesigned dashboard and steering wheel, upgrades materials, and pairs a 10.25-inch driver display with a 12.9-inch center screen.
- The lineup offers three battery choices at launch—50 kWh, 58 kWh, and a 79 kWh High version—with the largest pack rated by VW at a claimed 391 miles of WLTP range.
- Charging peaks at up to 183 kW on the 79 kWh pack and up to 105 kW on the smaller batteries, and every version adds vehicle-to-load capability to power external devices up to 3.6 kW.
- The rollout starts in Europe, pricing is still to come, North American availability is unconfirmed, and VW signals a next electric Golf later in the decade on its new SSP platform.
