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, all-electric coupe-SUV, essentially a more stylish version of the ID.4. It comes exclusively with a 77kWh usable battery, offering an official WLTP range of 314 to 327 miles. While its raked roofline gives it a sportier profile, it maintains a practical hatchback boot opening and a pleasant, inoffensive appearance. Inside, it boasts excellent rear headroom and legroom, a 549-litre boot with underfloor storage, and a spacious front cabin.

The ID.5 offers a comfortable driving experience, with rear-wheel-drive 174bhp or 201bhp options, and a 295bhp all-wheel-drive GTX model achieving 0-62mph in 6.3 seconds. Ride comfort is soft, and refinement is excellent. Standard equipment is generous, even on the entry-level Style trim, including heated seats, LED matrix headlights, and a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. While not cheap, it offers lower running costs than petrol/diesel cars, with a two-year service schedule and fixed-price servicing, making it a well-equipped and comfortable EV.

Best for: Drivers prioritising comfort, a long electric range, decent practicality, and generous standard equipment in a stylish coupe-SUV.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget, those seeking leading driving dynamics or a unique selling point, or those who prefer more straightforward infotainment controls.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ID.5 if: You prioritise comfort, a long electric range, decent practicality, and generous standard equipment in a stylish coupe-SUV.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a strict budget, seeking leading driving dynamics or a unique selling point, or prefer more straightforward infotainment controls.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen ID.5 is a comfortable, well-equipped electric coupe-SUV with a good range and decent practicality. However, it faces stiff competition from rivals like the Tesla Model Y, which offers greater practicality and charging ease, and the Kia EV6, which is cheaper and more engaging to drive. While it's a pleasant car, its lack of a unique selling point and higher price point compared to some alternatives mean it struggles to stand out in an increasingly competitive segment.
