Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the VW ID.5 electric car:- The ID.5 is essentially an ID.4 with a different, more coupe-style, roofline and spoiler.
- The ID.5 is 15mm longer and 25mm lower than an ID.4.
- Headroom and boot space is reduced compared to an ID.4.
- The ID.5 is only available with a large 77 kWh battery, while the ID.4 has cheaper, smaller battery options.
- The ID.5 is more expensive than an ID.4.
- The ID.5 faces tough competition from other EVs such as the Audi Q4 Sportback, Skoda Enyaq Coupe, Kia EV6, Genesis GV60, Volvo C40, and Tesla Model Y.
- The interior is pretty disappointing, has some cheap feeling materials, and doesn’t feel luxurious.
- The interior storage is good.
- Rear visibility isn't as good as in the ID.4.
- Tech features a 12-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but the system is laggy and complicated. Touch-sensitive steering wheel panels and unlit climate controls are frustrating.
- Rear legroom is good, identical to the ID.4.
- There is a Ski Hatch and underfloor storage.
- Charging speed: Up to 135kW, 10-80% in 29 minutes, with a 7kW home wall box, 12 hours 15mins for a full charge.
- The standard big battery gives a 327-mile range.
- The three power versions available are 172bhp, 201bhp, and 295bhp.
- The car drives fine, but nothing about it is great.
- It is hard to recommend the ID.5 due to its high price and because there are many better electric cars available.
