The model
Read full Volkswagen ID 5 reviewA competent electric SUV that comes with plenty of kit, a decent range and an excellent safety score. There are stronger rivals though, including the Genesis GV60, Kia EV6, Tesla Model Y and Volvo C40 Recharge, which are faster, smarter inside, have much better infotainment systems and take less time to charge.
The trim
See full equipmentAbove Style, Tech adds an electric tailgate, electrically adjustable front seats, plus the augmented-reality head-up display.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 201bhp ‘Pro Performance’ accelerates quickly enough for most, with an official 0-62mph time of 8.4sec. That's still quite a lot slower than any Kia EV6, though, let alone a Tesla Model Y Long Range. Official range is 313 miles.
