VW ID5 GTX - FULL REVIEW OF THE FULLY ELECTRIC SUV COUPÉ FROM VOLKSWAGEN

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen ID.5 GTX is presented as the sportier, coupé-styled sibling to the ID.4, offering a more aerodynamic profile and distinct styling. The GTX trim, featuring AWD, is highlighted for its performance, achieving 0-100 km/h in 6.3 seconds, and comes standard with the larger 77 kWh battery. While the exterior design is praised for its sportiness, the interior receives mixed reviews, with the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel and the glossy piano black trim being points of criticism. The infotainment system, updated to software version 3.1, shows improvement in responsiveness but is not considered class-leading. The reviewer notes that the GTX model's charging speed peaks higher but falls off sooner than the Pro models, making the Pro versions potentially faster for 10-80% charges depending on user profile. Real-world range is estimated at around 400 km (250 miles) under favorable conditions. Despite some software and interior material critiques, the ID.5 GTX is commended for its solid hardware, agile handling thanks to its low center of gravity, good noise insulation, and comfortable, supportive sport seats.
