Volkswagen ID.5 (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Comfortable to drive	Certainly not cheap
Decent interior quality	Trails key rivals in a wide variety of areas
Range and charging speeds are reasonably competitive	Looks arguably don't hit the mark

Quick Summary

The Volkswagen ID.5 is a sleeker, coupe-SUV version of the ID.4, offering an all-electric driving experience with a 77kWh battery pack. It provides an official WLTP driving range between 314-327 miles, depending on specification. The vehicle features a raked roofline and competes in the premium electric SUV market with rivals like the Nissan Ariya, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Tesla Model Y.

Despite its pleasant driving dynamics and comfortable ride, the ID.5 struggles to stand out in a competitive market. It offers decent practicality with 549 litres of boot space and a spacious interior, but lacks a unique selling point. The range of powertrain options includes a base 174bhp model and a top-spec 295bhp GTX version, providing flexibility for different driver preferences.

Best for: Drivers seeking a comfortable, well-equipped electric SUV with a stylish coupe-like design.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers or those wanting a standout performer in the electric SUV segment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ID.5 if: You want a comfortable, well-equipped electric SUV with a stylish coupe-like design and decent range.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious or seeking a standout performer in the electric SUV segment.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen ID.5 is a competent but not exceptional electric SUV. It offers comfortable driving dynamics, decent interior quality, and reasonable range, but struggles to differentiate itself in a highly competitive market. While it provides a pleasant driving experience, rivals like the Skoda Enyaq and Tesla Model Y offer more compelling packages in terms of performance, practicality, and value.
