Used Volkswagen ID.3 for sale

The Volkswagen ID.3 comes with a full suite of active safety features, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane assist and a driver fatigue monitor. It earned five stars from Euro NCAP, showing strong protection for occupants and advanced safety assistance.

All ID.3s are electric and rear-wheel drive. Earlier versions offered several power outputs and battery sizes, with the most common being the 58kWh (Pro) and 77kWh (Pro S) for longer range. There are special trims with more performance, but all models are automatic electric.

Most ID.3s get a 10-inch (or later, 12.9-inch) touchscreen with navigation, DAB radio, Bluetooth and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The digital cockpit is standard, but physical controls are limited – you'll have to access many features through touch-sensitive panels, which some drivers find fiddly.

As a pure electric car, fuel consumption is measured in miles per kWh. Real-world efficiency varies, but expect around 4-4.5 miles per kWh, translating to a realistic range of 200-260 miles for most versions. This is plenty if you're planning regular commutes and family trips.

Check for completed recall work on issues like battery modules or airbag fixings. Look for even tyre wear and make sure the car's had infotainment updates. Touchscreens and electronic controls should work smoothly. For extra confidence, consider an independent The AA Vehicle Inspection.

According to survey results, the ID.3 comes out as average for reliability among electric cars. Early cars had some teething problems with electronics and touch controls, mostly resolved by mid-life updates. Volkswagen’s eight-year battery warranty helps provide peace of mind for used buyers.
