The New Volkswagen ID.3 Ready To Hit The Roads In 2023

Volkswagen will be unveiling the new ID.3 to the public by the 1st quarter of 2023. The ID.3 is set to be the latest chapter in the ID lineup built on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB) at the Zwickau and Dresden plants in Germany.

According to Imelda Labbé, Volkswagen Board Member for Sales, Marketing and After Sales “The new ID.3 demonstrates our commitment to quality, design and sustainability. The design has matured, and we’ve upgraded the materials used in the interior”. “In coming up with the revamped version, the development team took on board a range of suggestions from customers in order to improve the product and enhance the standard equipment package: The needs of our customers are always front and centre for us. That’s why we listen carefully and focus on gearing our product portfolio to their requirements.

The new ID.3 is outfitted with the most recent software generation, which improves system performance and allows for over-the-air updates. In addition, the standard equipment package has been updated to include a 12-inch (30.5-centimetre) diagonal display, a removable luggage compartment floor, and a centre console with two cup holders.

Plug & Charge and the intelligent Electric Vehicle Route Planner make the charging experience in the new ID.3 even easier and more convenient. In the ID.3, VW employs the most recent generation of fully integrated assist systems. Examples include the optional Travel Assist with Swarm Data and the Park Assist Plus with Memory Function.

“Part of our mission at Volkswagen is to offer state-of-the-art technologies and innovations across all models, including compact vehicles, and the ID.3 exemplifies this – for example when it comes to new convenience and assist systems: we are taking the next step forward on the way to highly automated driving with the use of swarm data in the latest Travel Assist”, explains Kai Grünitz, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Development.

However, due to the current semiconductor supply situation and the existing order backlog, Volkswagen estimates that the ID.3 Pro models Life, Business, Style, Max, and the ID.3 Pro S model Tour will not be available to customers until the fourth quarter of 2023.
