Could this be VW’s electric hot hatch? Say hello to the new, long-awaited Volkswagen ID.3 GTX. It’s potentially the ID.3 some will have been waiting for, promising a lot more performance and a bigger range to boot.has largely the same technology. Even so, Volkswagen has put some effort into the ID.3 GTX and the results don’t sound too bad at all.Well, as close to it as we can be with Volkswagen’s GTX branding.
And one of the biggest departures from the usual GTX fare is that the most potent ID.3 models are rear-wheel drive only after that breakthrough in electric motor technology. ‘The X in GTX doesn’t especially mean all-wheel drive,’ says Stöhr, ‘it’s the body design and the dynamic abilities. And this car is kind of like a love story to the Golf GTI.’
Both models feature a new 79kWh battery pack and up to 175kW DC charging, and both generate 402lb ft of torque at their peak. The ID.3 GTX maxes out at 111mph, while the more powerful ID.3 GTX Performance tops out at 124mph, and Volkswagen says a maximum range of 372 miles is possible.GTX models benefit from revised steering and specific chassis tuning right out of the box.

Naturally, the GTX model benefits from a slightly more aggressive bodykit than a regular ID.3 and features the sub-brand’s triangular lighting signature that sits in the lower corners of the front bumper. Every GTX model features 20-inch wheels as standard. Inside, GTX models get sporty seats in microfibre fabric and they also benefit from VW’s new-generation MIB4 infotainment system with its customisable screens and cleaner look. The tech promises much better processing power than the old system that launched on the original ID.3. Our tests so far conclude that it isbetter than the old system, but still relies almost entirely on touchscreen controls. Here, the system is said to make its way onto UK cars, after facelifted ID.
