Inovev forecasts 50,000 units per year of the new Volkswagen ID5
- Volkswagen is gradually expanding the range of its 100% electric ID cars. After the ID3, ID4 and ID6 (on the Chinese market for the moment), the German carmaker has just unveiled the ID5, which is in a way the coupe version of the ID4 (at Audi, this type of body is called Sportback ). Not very different aesthetically from the ID4, the ID5 is despite everything a little longer (4.60 m against 4.58 m) and a little lower (1.61 m against 1.63 m) with a curvature of roof a little more pronounced.
- If the MEB platform is identical, the electric motor is more powerful (174 hp against 148 hp on the ID4) and the carmaker offers a single battery configuration (77 kWh) which is the more powerful of the two offered on the ID4 ( 52 kWh and 77 kWh). There will be a 204 hp version scheduled for next summer. The range is in all cases set at 500 km according to the WLTP cycle.
- This positioning means that Volkswagen sees the ID5 as a sportier model than the more family-oriented ID4. Suddenly, the price of the ID5 suffers. It is higher than that of the ID4, ie a price higher than 50,000 euros.
- The Volkswagen ID5 will be produced from 2022 at the Zwickau site (five different models will be manufactured at this site from next spring: Volkswagen ID3, Volkswagen ID4, Volkswagen ID5, Seat Born, Audi Q4).
- As with all electric cars, the ramp-up of the ID5 will be gradual. Inovev forecasts 25,000 units per year at the start of its career, then 50,000 units per year in mid-career.
- Finally, we should add that the ID5 will have a close cousin: the Skoda Enyaq coupe which will be unveiled in March 2022.
