Volkswagen unveils new name of ID.3's successor

Volkswagen has announced the new name of the ID.3's successor: The ID.3 Neo, which will celebrate its world premiere in April 2026.

And thanks to the latest software generation, the electric compact model comes with a host of new functions. These include, for example, the enhanced Travel Assist with traffic light detection and One Pedal Driving, where the vehicle recuperates until it comes to a standstill.

In addition, the ID.4, ID.5, and ID.7 are already available to order as the first models equipped with the aforementioned software as well as the new Innovision infotainment system.

A new app store has also been integrated into the In-Car Shop of the new infotainment system, which allows functions and services to be activated or extended digitally, flexibly, and on a vehicle-specific basis.

A digital key is now also available as an option for all models. This enables convenient access to the vehicle using a mobile device (smartphone, smartwatch). The digital vehicle key supplements the classic vehicle key. Communication takes place wirelessly in a similar way to payment processes with a smartphone; a special app is not required.

There are also new developments in the areas of engine and battery: The ID.4 and ID.5 entry-level models are equipped with the APP 350, a new 140kW drive system that offers increased torque and lowers fuel consumption compared with the previous APP 310 motors. This enables the WLTP range of the ID.4 to be increased by up to 40km.
