Volkswagen has finally introduced the entry-level ID.3 Pure Performance hatch in the UK. Two trims are available at launch – the base City trim starts at £28,370 (RM161k), while the design-oriented Style variant is priced from £32,470 (RM185k).
Both variants get a single electric motor driving the rear axle. It produces 150 PS and 310 Nm of torque, propelling the hatch from standstill to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. The top speed is unchanged at 160 km/h, just like the rest of the ID.3 models.
A 45 kWh battery pack is standard, offering up to 349 km on a full charge. A 7.2 kW AC wallbox (via a Type 2 connection) will juice up the battery from 5% to 100% in 7.5 hours, whereas a 100 kW DC fast charger provides 220 km of range in just 30 minutes.
