The ID.5 really nails the brief for a family-friendly coupé-SUV. Its sleek, aerodynamic shape isn't just for show - it helps push the real range up to an impressive 285 miles on a single charge, making it a reliable road trip machine. The rear-wheel drive Pro Performance model is effortlessly quick (0-62mph in 6.7 seconds) and delivers a smooth, comfortable drive. Plus, it comes with the latest software and connectivity, meaning your car is always getting better. It’s a stylish, smart, and efficient way to drive electric.

Interior

The ID.5 surprises with a lounge-like sense of space, offering generous headroom and legroom in the rear. The main focal point is the large 12-inch "Discover Pro" touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone charging. Key features include ID. Light (an interactive light strip for visual alerts), and over-the-air updates to keep your software current. The boot is highly practical, boasting 549 litres of space (actually slightly more than the ID.4) and features a low loading sill. Premium, sustainable materials and thoughtful storage, like the deep centre console, complete the high-quality interior.

We take real world range from EV database, which combines the predicted range of an EV in cold weather with the predicted range of an EV driving in warm weather.

For cold weather, this assumes it’s -10 degrees celsius with heating on. For warmer weather, it’s based on 23 degrees celsius and there’s no A/C on.

Predicting exact range is tricky, and range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather conditions and route conditions.

Many things can impact the range you get in your EV, there are outside factors and ones you can control or mitigate. Temperature (both of the car and outside environment), your driving style, weather, the surfaces you drive on and the spec of your car can all make a difference to your actual range.
