FOLLOWING ON FROM THE LAUNCH of the acclaimed ID.4 Pro and ID.5 GTX, Volkswagen is rounding out the ID. family by bringing to Australia the attainable and stylish ID.5 Pro plus the ID.4 GTX performance electric SUV, the latter complete with a price of under $70,000.
The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX brings the sharp handling and performance credentials of the ID.5 GTX coupe SUV to the traditional ID.4 SUV bodystyle, while the ID.5 Pro offers a compelling entry pricepoint into Volkswagen’s EV design leader.
In addition to electric motors on the front and rear axles producing a robust 250kW of power, 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a 0-100km/h time of just 5.4 seconds the ID.4 GTX is priced from $69,990 (plus on road costs).
The ID.4 GTX complements Volkswagen’s all-new Tiguan medium SUV, specifically the 195kW, 5.9sec 0-100km/h Tiguan 195TSI R-Line from $70,490.
Unique features to this faster ID.4 include GTX front and rear bumper designs, body-coloured bodyside, additional black styling elements, 20-inch ‘Ystad’ alloy wheels, and front fog lights.
Inside, unique ‘GTX’-embossed sports seats with integrated head restraints offer comfort and body-hugging bolstering on spirited drives, and are adorned with red highlights and stitching. The steering wheel also features unique ‘GTX’ badging. Elevating the ownership proposition further is a Harman Kardon premium audio system with 12-channel amplifier and subwoofer.
The ID.5 Pro brings the strong value-proposition of ID.4 Pro to the ID.5’s sleek form factor, priced from $62,990.
As with the ID.4 Pro, a high level of standard specification includes IQ.LIGHT Matrix LED headlamps with adaptive high beam, 3D LED rear lights with dynamic indicators, keyless access, power tailgate, panoramic roof with electric blind, ArtVelours microfleece upholstery, power adjustable front seats with memory and a newly-updated massage function, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, tri-zone climate control air conditioning, 12.9-inch infotainment with App-Connect for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Area View 360-degree camera.
Secure and unobtrusive driver assistance technology, Volkswagen’s Travel Assist combining Adaptive Cruise Control with active Lane Assist is also standard, along with Side Assist, Emergency Assist, oncoming vehicle braking when turning and swerve support, proactive passenger protection system and front/rear parking sensors. Newly included are Rear Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Warning.
Range on the rear wheel-driven ID.5 Pro is 543km (WLTP) and 210kW electric motor will see it reach 100km/h in 6.7 seconds. With all this styling, specification and performance, the ID.5 Pro continues to attract with an RRP of $62,990.
Volkswagen also proudly offers all four variants of ID.4 and ID.5 with both “Mode 2” and “Mode 3” charging cables as standard – in other words, all the cables required to charge your car in any situation, and adding almost $1000 in additional value.
Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles Head of Product Arjun Nidigallu said the addition of ID.4 GTX and ID.5 Pro mean that there is now an elevated electric SUV proposition to meet all customer needs.
“As the only brand that has consistently made performance SUVs available to customers across the Tiguan line-up for well over a decade, the ID.4 GTX continues that tradition by combining the SUV form of the ID.4 Pro with the performance credentials of the ID.5 GTX,” Mr. Nidigallu said.
“Similarly, the ID.5 Pro allows us to offer everything that’s garnered praise for the strong value, generously-equipped ID.4 Pro in a sleeker, sportier-looking package, while retaining core BEV attainability for customers.”
The entire ID.4 & ID.5 range will benefit from Volkswagen Group Australia’s On EV initiative, which includes eight-year/160,000 km battery warranty, free battery health checks, simplified charging solutions (including benefits of Volkswagen’s partnership with Ampol AmpCharge) and a Guaranteed Future Value through Volkswagen Financial Services.
