At carwow.de there are many VW models with a discount. Including the new ID.5.
As a coupe version of the ID.4, the prices naturally go up. With rear-wheel drive, the ID.5 is 1600 euros more expensive than the SUV, the all-wheel drive version is 3200 euros more. The starting price for the SUV coupe is 46,515 euros, GTX all-wheel drive models start at 53,615 euros.
Up to the B-pillar, you can only recognize the VW by its specific apron. Models without all-wheel drive have a large plastic element in the bumper, but GTX versions are similar to the ID.4. In the profile, however, the differences are clearly visible. The four-door coupe is two centimeters flatter than the SUV, but also around two centimeters longer.
At the front, only models with rear-wheel drive differ from the ID.4.
The roof drops off significantly towards the end of the vehicle and merges into a rear that is pulled up far. A spoiler is used there, which is intended to give the VW a clear aerodynamic advantage; the total drag coefficient is just 0.26.
Plenty of legroom in the rear, but it gets tight for the head from a height of 1.90 meters.
Infotainment: new software status and features
The software in the ID.5, on the other hand, is brand new. It gives the augmented reality head-up display more access to the driver assistance and thus better representations. In the future, the Travel Assist will also access cloud data and should therefore be able to react more reliably to difficult general conditions. Voice control should also work faster with the update. From voice command to route guidance, VW only gives seven seconds - you don’t have to hide from MBUX and Co. anymore.
ID.5 customers are also the first to benefit from fast charging, where up to 135 kW will be possible in the future. ID.3 and ID.4 drivers do not have to trade in their vehicles right away, the update will also be available for them. In the course of 2022, the functions for existing vehicles will be submitted over-the-air.
Driving report: As a GTX, the ID.5 offers a lot of driving fun
All ID.5s draw their driving power from a 77 kWh battery, and VW specifies a maximum range of 523 kilometers according to WLTP. The more powerful GTX should still be able to cover up to 490 kilometers.
