Performance

The Volkswagen ID.3 Neo 58 kWh has a maximum power of 140 kW (190 hp / 188 bhp) and a total torque of 355 Nm (262 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 61.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 58.0 kWh, providing a 3.0 kWh buffer (4.9%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 332.8 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 494 km (307 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 11.7 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 105 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 83 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 36 minutes with an average charging speed of 67 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 54%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 68 kW, with each charging session taking about 24 minutes and 8 seconds.

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 5 hours and 16 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 V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 3.6 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles.

Drivetrain

The Volkswagen ID.3 Neo 58 kWh has a rear-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the rear axle.

Suspension

The suspension system features a MacPherson strut front construction and a multi-link rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are monotube dampers, providing consistent performance and durability. The front and rear springs are coil springs, offering a balance of comfort and performance.

The suspension has a fixed height and damping characteristics.

Steering

Progressive steering is standard on the Volkswagen ID.3 Neo 58 kWh, automatically adjusting the steering ratio based on speed for improved control and comfort.

Drive Modes

The Volkswagen ID.3 Neo 58 kWh lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.

The driver can choose between 3 modes:

Eco: Balanced steering and efficient throttle.

Brakes

The Volkswagen ID.3 Neo 58 kWh 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.

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.

You can choose between two stopping modes for one-pedal driving. Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes, and Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are two levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.
