However, on the most powerful electric cars, the company has been using the GTX nameplate for some time. As a result, the new ID.3 has just received such an index.

There are obvious differences in the design of the model in comparison with the standard car. There is a new dodger - replaced the front and rear bumpers, sill plates under the doors. These elements received more complex plastic.

The range is equal to 600 kilometers. The price of the VW ID.3 GTX is from 50,795 euros. However, thanks to subsidies, the cost falls below 50 thousand.
