About the Volkswagen ID.3 Neo 170 kW – 79 kWh

The Volkswagen ID.3 Neo 170 kW – 79 kWh (MY27) represents the latest evolution of Volkswagen’s dedicated electric hatchback, combining impressive long-range efficiency, modern technology, and everyday practicality in a package tailored for both urban mobility and long-distance travel. Designed to make electric motoring effortless, it delivers a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and usability for drivers looking to embrace zero-emission mobility.

Power comes from a rear-mounted electric motor producing 170 kW, driving the rear wheels through a rear-wheel-drive layout. This configuration provides smooth power delivery, balanced handling, and the engaging driving characteristics often associated with premium electric vehicles. The result is a hatchback that feels responsive and refined, whether navigating city traffic or cruising on the motorway.

At the heart of the ID.3 Neo is a substantial 79 kWh usable battery pack, delivering exceptional long-distance capability. With an official WLTP driving range of up to 391 miles, it stands among the longest-range electric hatchbacks available, making it particularly attractive to drivers who regularly cover significant distances. Real-world range will naturally vary depending on weather conditions, driving style, route profile, and vehicle specification.

Charging performance is equally impressive. The ID.3 Neo supports CCS DC rapid charging at up to 183 kW, allowing drivers to take advantage of high-power charging networks and recover substantial driving range in a short time. This capability helps reduce charging downtime and enhances the vehicle’s suitability for long-distance touring and business travel.

Inside, the cabin delivers a modern and connected driving experience, featuring Volkswagen’s latest infotainment technology, advanced driver-assistance systems, and a spacious interior designed with comfort and practicality in mind. With approximately 385 litres of luggage capacity, the hatchback provides ample room for shopping, luggage, family essentials, and everyday use while retaining compact external dimensions that make it easy to manoeuvre in urban environments.

What makes the ID.3 Neo particularly appealing is its ability to combine exceptional range with hatchback practicality and efficient rear-wheel-drive performance. It offers a well-rounded package for drivers seeking a modern electric vehicle that excels in daily use while remaining capable of handling longer journeys with confidence.
