Video Summary
Here's the summary of the YouTube video.- The ID.5 is the style-oriented SUV option in VW's electric vehicle range.
- The test car is the "Life Pro" trim, the cheapest of the ID.5 models. It has 172 brake horsepower.
- The ID.5 has a 77-kWh battery, with a range of up to 327 miles per charge.
- The Performance Pro version has a 201 brake horsepower motor.
- The rear passenger space is good, even with the panoramic roof (which is standard).
- It has a 549 liter boot space, but no storage in the nose of the car, and the charging cables have to go in the boot.
- The interior carries the "high spec" features such as vegan leather and suede seats.
- The infotainment system has been updated.
- Touch sensitive controls (climate and volume) on the dash and steering wheel are an ergonomic nightmare.
- The ID.5 will take around 13 hours to charge from a standard 7-kW home wallbox. It is also equipped with an 11-kW three-phase onboard charger.
- Rapid charging tops out at 130 kW which will deliver an 80% battery in under 30 minutes.
- 0 to 62 mph is over 10 seconds.
- The car has a touring feel with comfort, tech, and long range.
- There is no sports mode, the lane keeper assist can be effective on the motorway, but the reviewer feels the system is a bit intrusive on country roads.
