First ID. 3s on way to customers

THE first Volkswagen ID.3 models have rolled off the Paglia into Dublin Port and will be making their way to pre-bookers in the coming weeks. A white ID.3 1st was the first ID.3 to land on Irish soil. The ID.3 1st Edition is a specially equipped version of the 58kW version of the ID.3 (WLTP range of 410-424km).

The ID.3 1ST Edition is generously equipped, featuring heated front seats, Natural Voice Control with ID. Light, navigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, Keyless entry and start, IQ. Light LED matrix headlights with Welcome Light, a bi-colour exterior, and 19-inch wheels.

The ID.3 1ST Edition uses a 58 kWh (net capacity) battery and a 204 PS electric motor driving the rear wheels. It has a range of 261 miles (WLTP) and can rapid-charge at 100 kW, which can add 180 miles of range in as little as 30 minutes. Built on the MEB (Modular Electric Drive Matrix) platform, the ID.3 has a modular battery pack design, meaning different battery capacities can be ordered on the upcoming ID.3 series range, with customers able to opt for different ranges based on their requirements.The ID.3 is carbon-neutral up to the handover to the customer, including battery production.
