The term “VW ID.3 News” is on everyone’s lips when it comes to the future of electric mobility. But what exactly is behind it? Quite simply: it’s all the news about the Volkswagen ID.3, VW’s first all-electric compact car.
“The VW ID.3 is not just a new car, but a statement,” says Dr. Markus Schmidt, automotive designer and technology expert. “It represents the automotive industry’s shift towards more sustainable drive concepts.”

From Vision to Reality: The Origin Story of the VW ID.3
The story of the VW ID.3 began long before its official unveiling. As early as 2016, VW presented a first glimpse of an electric compact car with the “I.D.” concept vehicle. Interest was huge and expectations were high.
However, developing a completely new vehicle concept also presents challenges. For example, VW had to develop a completely new platform for electric cars – the so-called “Modular Electric Drive Matrix” (MEB).
After years of development work, the time came in September 2019: The VW ID.3 celebrated its world premiere at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt.
The VW ID.3 in Detail: Technology, Design, and Features
The VW ID.3 impresses with a combination of innovative electric drive, modern design, and advanced technology.
Electric Motor and Battery: The ID.3 is available in various performance levels and with different battery sizes. The range varies depending on the model between 330 and 550 kilometers (WLTP).
Design: With its futuristic design, the ID.3 clearly stands out from its conventional siblings. The short overhangs and long wheelbase provide a generous feeling of space in the interior.
Features: The interior of the ID.3 is dominated by clear lines and a minimalist design. The digital cockpit and the large touchscreen in the center console offer intuitive operation.
