Used Volkswagen ID.5 for sale

The Volkswagen ID.5 is well-equipped for safety. It comes with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control and a driver fatigue monitor as standard. Euro NCAP awarded the ID.5 five stars, with high marks for child passenger protection.

The Volkswagen ID.5 is fully electric, available with either a 52kWh or a 77kWh battery. You can choose between a rear-wheel-drive version (offering about 282bhp) or the GTX model, which adds an extra motor for four-wheel drive and up to 335bhp.

The Volkswagen ID.5 comes generously equipped. You get a large 12.9-inch touchscreen, satnav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless phone charging. Later models have improved software and touch controls, and all come with front and rear parking sensors with a reversing camera.

As a fully electric vehicle, the Volkswagen ID.5 measures fuel economy in miles per kWh. The official range is 227–344 miles, while real-world efficiency varies from 3.8 to 6.2 miles per kWh, depending on conditions and driving style.

When buying a used ID.5, check the charging cable and battery health, and make sure all software is up to date, especially in early models where infotainment bugs were common. It's also wise to book The AA Vehicle Inspection for extra peace of mind.

The ID.5 is a relatively new vehicle on the market, so there's a limit to available reliability data. Volkswagen has a good reputation, and its electric cars have performed well so far. Owners report few widespread issues. Recent models have largely resolved the earlier infotainment glitches.
