Note: Please note that the UAE Ministry of Economy has temporarily banned the import of VW vehicles from other countries and only the official dealer (Al Naboodah) is authorised to sell VW used cars. Therefore, when purchasing used Volkswagen cars for sale in the UAE, make sure the vehicle is sold by the official VW dealer – Al Naboodah.
German motor vehicle manufacturer Volkswagen is amongst the growing list of automobile manufacturers who have launched electric vehicles. All the electric vehicles manufactured by Volkswagen AG fall into VW’s ID Series category. The term ID., as per VW, refers to intelligent design, identity and visionary technologies.
Volkswagen ID electric cars have recently received great interest in the UAE, Jordan and many Middle Eastern countries.
In this guide, we will take a look at notable features of all the cars that are part of Volkswagen’s ID series.
Volkswagen ID.3
The Volkswagen ID.3 is an electric vehicle that has been in production since 2019. It is the first model in the ID. series and the first automobile to use the modular electric drive matrix (MEB) platform. It was initially displayed as the I.D. concept vehicle at the 2016 Paris Motor Show and was introduced on September 9, 2019, at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
ID.3 comes with three different battery options. Models with a 77 kWh battery come in four and five-seat configurations, while the others only come in five. Except for the 77 kWh ones, all are equipped with a panoramic roof.
ID.3 was initially offered in three trim levels: ID.3 1st, ID.3 1st Plus, and ID.3 1st Max. All three trim levels have the same battery capacity and powertrain.
Volkswagen ID.4
ID.4, the first fully-electric crossover SUV under the Volkswagen brand, is the second model of the Volkswagen ID. series.
The ID.4 is equipped with the MEB platform’s APP 310 drive. The motor generates 109–150 kilowatts of power and 310 Nm of torque with speeds of up to 16,000 revolutions per minute. Talking about the infotainment package, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. In addition to the 5.3-inch driver display, the ID.4 also has a 10-inch infotainment screen and an optional 12-inch screen.
Volkswagen ID.5
The Volkswagen ID.5 is a coupe SUV variant of the ID.4. It was revealed in November 2021, and has been in production since January 2022. The vehicle is offered in three variants: Pro, Pro Performance, and GTX, the latter of which features a dual motor all-wheel-drive.
There are three powertrain choices available. However, unlike ID.4, the ID.5 only has one battery capacity, which is 77 kWh.
The car has a reduced drag coefficient of 0.26, which is.02 less than the ID.4. The steep roofline reduces luggage space, which is 549 litres with the rear seats unfolded and 1,561 litres when the seats are folded. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 kph in 10.4 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 160 km/h.
Volkswagen ID.6
Volkswagen ID.6 is an electric sport utility vehicle. It is part of the ID. series lineup and is based on the modular electric drive matrix platform. It is presently the largest car in the Volkswagen ID. Series, as well as the largest vehicle manufactured on the MEB platform. The Volkswagen ID.6, based on the VW I.D. Roomzz idea was initially displayed at the Shanghai Motor Show in April 2019 and was unveiled on April 17, 2021.
The rear wheels are powered by a single electric motor in the base model. It can produce 177 horsepower and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds, or the other option produces 201 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.1 seconds. The dual-motor variant has 302 horsepower and 310 Nm of torque, with a 6.6-second acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h and a top speed of 160 km/h.
VW has enlarged the ID.6 to 4,876 mm in order to accommodate the third row, making it approximately 300 mm longer than the ID.4.

The VW ID. Buzz is an electric minivan. It is Volkswagen’s first electric minivan that is based on the MEB chassis and is part of the Volkswagen ID. series. It has an APP 310 motor that churns out 201 horsepower and 310 N⋅m of torque.
ID. Buzz has a ‘Car2X’ local warning system that detects hazards, a collision avoidance system that offers automatic emergency braking to prevent or minimise the severity of the collision, and a lane assist that keeps the car in its lane. ID. Buzz’s seats are made of recyclable plastics, and there is no leather option.
The standard infotainment screen in VW’s ID. Buzz is ten inches in size, with a twelve-inch screen also available as an option. In addition, as many as eight USB ports are available.
