The Volkswagen ID.5 at a glance

The Volkswagen ID.5 gives drivers electric power, ample space and a modern twist on the classic SUV. With its coupe-style sloping roof, it stands out from boxy competitors without sacrificing boot space – in fact, it's one of the most practical coupes in its class. Launched in 2022, it shares much of its electric technology and engineering with its sibling, the ID.4, but with sleeker looks. The ID.5 outdoes rivals like the Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback, Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 on range and style. Performance is brisk, especially in the all-wheel-drive GTX model. Recent updates have improved the infotainment and cabin tech, making it even more user-friendly and helping it keep pace with the competition.

Pros

Long electric range (up to 344 miles)
Generous standard equipment
Practical boot and roomy cabin

Cons

Rear headroom limited by coupe roof
Touch-sensitive interior controls can be frustrating
Pricier than some alternatives

What our AA Mechanics think of the Volkswagen ID.5

If you’re after a stylish, practical electric crossover coupé with strong range and advanced tech, the VW ID.5 deserves a close look. Its roomy cabin, composed ride and solid standard kit make it a strong contender in this hugely competitive and rapidly developing market segment. The infotainment can be frustrating at times, and it’s not the cheapest option, though, so although it's beautifully engineered, it has to fight hard against some very polished opposition to make a good enough case for itself.
