Volkswagen announces ID.3 Pro Power

volkswagen-id3-2019-06-min

Volkswagen will offer four drive options for the ID.3 instead of three as previously expected. In a mail to Scandinavian pre-orderers, which was made available to electrive, new prices for the first MEB vehicle are also mentioned.

So far VW had announced only that the limited and sold out 1ST edition is to cost approximately 40,000 euro and the later basis model is to be offered for less than 30,000 euro. The prices that Volkswagen has now quoted in an email to a Danish pre-orderer are not directly comparable with the rest of Europe due to the high registration taxes in Denmark.

The ID.3 Pure with the 45 kWh battery will cost at least 279,995 Danish crowns, currently 37,469 euros, well above the announced 30,000 euros. The ID.3 Pro with the medium 58 kWh battery should cost at least 309,995 Danish crowns, which corresponds to 41,502 euros. The prices for the ID.3 Pro S with 77 kWh battery are to be announced in January.

More interesting than the not comparable prices is the fact that VW announces in the mail also an ID.3 Pro Power (for 319,995 Danish crowns, thus 42,841 euro). The ID.3 Pro and ID.3 Pro Power should not differ in equipment, but in performance. The ID.3 Pro therefore has an output of 110 kW, while the ID.3 Pro Power, which is 1,339 euros more expensive, has 150 kW. So far it was only mentioned that the ID.3 1ST should have 150 kW power.

The ID.3 Pro S will probably have an output of 150 kW ex works, the entry-level model Pure has to be content with 110 kW – the mail does not mention a “power” version for the update to 150 kW. Already with the load achievement Pure prospective customers must accept compromises: The two-phase AC charger only achieves 7.2 kW (the other versions have a three-phase 11 kW charger), the Pure only achieves 50 kW on DC ex works, optionally 100 kW are possible. Surcharges were not mentioned in the mail to the Danish pre-orderer.

But the (also hardly comparable) prices for the three 1ST editions. The ID.3 1ST should be available from 335,000 Danish Kroner (44,600 Euro), the ID.3 1ST Plus from 370,000 Danish Kroner (49,300 Euro) and the ID.3 1ST Max should cost at least 405,000 Danish Kroner (54,000 Euro).
