The all-new 2024 Volkswagen ID.3 facelift has been revealed, and it’s looking quite sleek to say the least. Aside from the refreshed exterior, the interior combines modern design and sustainable materials, thanks to the use of microfibre material Artvelours Eco for the door trims as well as seat covers. This fabric that contains 71% recyclate and is a secondary raw material obtained by recycling plastic that has previously been disposed of as waste at least once.
Power comes from a rear-mounted electric motor making 201 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 62 mph in 7.3-seconds, while topping out at 99 mph. Customers can either choose a 58 kWh or 77 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, offering a range of up to 265 miles and 339 miles respectively on a single charge. Technology wise, it has the latest software and a main 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system alongside the 5.3-inch screen above the steering wheel. Deliveries are slated to begin in Q4 2023, with pricing start at around $46,933 USD.
With the second-generation of the ID.3, we are continuing the success story of our ID. family. The design has matured and the materials in the interior have been significantly upgraded. The new ID.3 demonstrates our clear commitment to quality, design and operability, and we have systematically taken on board the wishes of our customers.” The new ID.3 is one of ten electric models that VW will launch by 2026,” said Imelda Labbé, Member of the Board of Management for Sales, Marketing and After Sales at Volkswagen.
