The 2025 Volkswagen ID.3 is a battery-electric hatchback with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 LCI generation. The Pro is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Pro version develops 204 hp and 310 Nm (229 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.9 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph). Its power output is about 7% above the peer average. Its acceleration is close to the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 59.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 426 km (265 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 13.8 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 120 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,261 mm (167.8 in) in length, 1,809 mm (71.2 in) in width, and 1,564 mm (61.6 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,771 mm (109.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 385 litres (13.6 cu ft), expanding to 1,267 litres (44.7 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,785 kg (3,935 lb). That cargo volume is about 13% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric hatchback models from the same period, the 2025 Volkswagen ID.3 is strongest on cargo capacity. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
