Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance delivers a solid performance with a maximum power of 240 kW (326 hp / 322 bhp) and a total torque of 545 Nm (402 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), making it competitive within its class.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 84.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 79.0 kWh, providing a 5.0 kWh buffer (6.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 352 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 601 km (374 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 13.1 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 185 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 52 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 27 minutes with an average charging speed of 122 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 2% to 54%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 122 kW, with each charging session taking about 20 minutes and 10 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 26 minutes, needing three charging stops from 1% to 57%, totaling 66 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 7 hours and 10 minutes with a standard home setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.

This model uses the CCS Combo 2 connector for the chargeport.

Bidirectional Charging

This model supports V2H (Vehicle to Home) functionality, allowing the car to serve as a backup power source for your home.

Drivetrain

The Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance has a rear-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the rear axle. The motor used is Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor.

Suspension

The front suspension is MacPherson Strut, and the rear suspension is Multilink. The standard suspension includes steel springs and hydraulic dampers.

Steering

Progressive steering is standard on the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance, automatically adjusting the steering ratio based on speed for improved control and comfort.

Drive Modes

The Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.

The driver can choose between 1 modes:

  • en drivetrain.drivetrain.drivemodes.default

Brakes

The Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance uses disc brakes in the front for superior stopping power and heat dissipation, while drum brakes are employed in the rear for cost efficiency and durability. Drum brakes provide adequate performance for the rear wheels, require less maintenance, and integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's regenerative braking system. This combination ensures optimal braking performance and cost-effectiveness, aligning with the overall efficiency goals of the EV. The front discs are 330 mm.

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

However, it is not considered full one-pedal driving since, at low speeds, the vehicle will keep rolling until it comes to a stop by itself.

If you lift away the foot completely the regen is at one fixed level. This can't be adjusted.

The maximum regenerative power is 170 kW.
