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 (2022-present) is a sleek, coupe-SUV version of the ID.4, featuring a raked roofline and sporty styling. Powered exclusively by a 77kWh battery pack, it delivers an official WLTP range of 314–327 miles depending on specification and wheel size. Available with three powertrain options—a 174bhp rear-wheel-drive base model, a 201bhp Pro Performance variant, and a 295bhp all-wheel-drive GTX—the ID.5 offers something for different buyers. The cabin is spacious and well-equipped, with a panoramic sunroof, rear climate control, and a practical 549-litre boot with underfloor storage. However, the entry-level Style trim lacks electric seat adjustment with lumbar support, which feels like a notable omission at this price point.

The ID.5 is pleasant to drive with soft, cushy ride comfort and excellent refinement, though it lacks the sporting excitement some might expect. Running costs are competitive for an electric vehicle, with an expected efficiency of 3.3 miles per kWh and generous two-year service intervals. Every model includes a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, native sat-nav, and over-the-air software updates. Whilst the ID.5 is well-rounded, it struggles to stand out in an increasingly crowded electric SUV market where rivals like the Tesla Model Y offer greater practicality and the Kia EV6 provides better value and more engaging dynamics.

Best for: Buyers seeking a comfortable, well-equipped electric SUV with decent range and a stylish coupe profile, and those prioritising interior quality and refinement.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those wanting the most practical electric SUV, or drivers seeking engaging, sporty handling and acceleration.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ID.5 if: You prioritise comfort, interior quality, and a stylish electric SUV with decent range and comprehensive equipment, and you're willing to pay a premium for these qualities.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, seeking maximum practicality, or wanting engaging driving dynamics and strong acceleration in an electric SUV.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen ID.5 is a pleasant, well-rounded electric SUV that delivers comfort, refinement, and decent practicality. However, it struggles to justify its premium pricing in an increasingly competitive market. The Skoda Enyaq iV offers superior value and practicality, the Tesla Model Y provides greater performance and range, and the Nissan Ariya matches it on price whilst offering comparable features. The ID.5's main strength lies in its comfortable dynamics and interior quality, but without a clear unique selling point, it falls behind the best in its class. It's a likeable car that does nothing wrong, but equally does nothing exceptional.
