On March 29, we learned from relevant sources that due to the disruption of the Ukrainian supply chain, German automaker Volkswagen originally planned to launch a new Volkswagen ID.5 electric SUV in the first week of April, but postponed it to the first week of May, including the ID.5 Pro, ID.5 Pro Performance and ID.5 GTX.
Volkswagen also said in a letter to dealers that the lack of supply of parts has led to the manufacturer's inability to produce enough demonstration and test drive vehicles for all of its dealers, and the premise of the new car going on sale is that Volkswagen will be able to provide the necessary display and test drive vehicles.
Volkswagen ID.5 officially began pre-sale in the German market at the end of last year, with a pre-sale price of 46,515 euros (about 334,900 yuan) and a maximum of 47,550 euros (about 342,400 yuan), and the ID.5GTX version is 53,615 euros (about 386,000 yuan).
In terms of size, the Volkswagen ID.5 has a length, width and height of 4599/1852/1613mm and a wheelbase of 2766mm.
The model is equipped with a 77kWh battery pack, WLTP maximum cruising range of 520km, ID.5 GTX is 480km, the maximum charging power is 135kW, the official announcement is 30 minutes for ID.5 and ID.5 GTX to increase 390km and 320km cruising range, 7 minutes to increase 100km, and support reverse discharge function. It is worth mentioning that the ID.5 GTX will be available in a 220kW 4WD version. The battery capacity is 77kWh, the cruising range can reach 520km, and the fast charge can get 300km of battery life in 30 minutes.
According to relevant news reports, the production site of ID.5 pure electric vehicle is Volkswagen's Zwickau plant in Germany, which was forced to suspend automobile production in this factory due to the supply bottleneck caused by the situation in Russia and Ukraine, but the company expects production to restart this week. The Zwickau plant is Volkswagen's main European ev production center, producing Volkswagen's ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5 models, Audi's Q4 etron, and Cupra's Born pure electric vehicle.
There is gossip that the future ID.5 is expected to be introduced by FAW-Everyone in China.
