Overview

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2024. Brand new, the car starts around €36,900.

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…) has a 55 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 330 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 15.8 kWh per 100 km (or 6.35 km per kWh) — ranked №606 out of 852 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 125 kW (168 hp) of power and 310 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 8.2 seconds (№63 out of 120 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 160 km/h.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…) is 330 km, ranking it №221 out of 335 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…) in Europe is equipped with a CCS Type 2 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 7.2 kW, which translates to roughly 41 km of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 145 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use our EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 4264 mm
Width: 2070 mm (including side mirrors) or 1809 mm (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 1564 mm
Wheelbase: 2770 mm (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 1787 kg (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)

How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Volkswagen ID.3 Pure (2024-…), you'll find 385 litres of storage space (№131 out of 193 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 1267 litres (№125 out of 190 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

The car doesn’t have a “frunk” (front trunk).
