Volkswagen ID.3 to begin first deliveries in early September

The final timetable for the start of Volkswagen's ID. family has been set - binding orders for the 30,000 models making up the limited 1^st Edition of the ID.3 can be placed from 17 June 2020 in most European countries.

As a token of thanks for their loyalty to the brand, Volkswagen is offering all pre-bookers wishing to take possession of their ID.3 1^st Edition as quickly as possible membership to the 1^st Mover Club.

ID.3 pre-bookers can choose between two different options. The first is delivery of their ID.3 1^st Edition in early September, combined with membership of the exclusive ID.3 1^st Mover Club membership which includes various customer benefits.

However, at market launch in September, the App Connect function and the distance feature in the head-up display will not yet have been activated.

ID.3 pre-bookers with a little more patience can choose the second option with a delivery date in the fourth quarter of 2020. When the keys are handed over to the customer, this later version will be equipped with all functions. By opening this community, Volkswagen is providing for an exchange of experience among all 'ID.3 1^st Movers' - and also establishing a direct line to Volkswagen. It will not only be possible to engage direct with customer enquiries, but will also enable Volkswagen to collect feedback on everyday experiences along with comments from ID.3 first drivers for use in further development.

The ID.3 1^st Edition has the larger 58kWh battery, and is driven by an electric motor at the rear axle, generating 150kW and delivers a maximum torque of 310Nm, accelerating to 60km/h in 3.4 seconds with a single gear.

The ID.3 1^st Plus additionally features a rear view camera system and the 'Keyless Advanced' keyless access locking and starting system. The vehicle interior of the ID.3 1^st Plus also includes a center console with two additional USB-C connections in the rear.

Forming part of the exterior equipment scope are tinted windows, the exterior 'Style' package in silver, LED rear taillights with dynamic turn signal and 19-inch alloy wheels.
