ID.3 Pro S - 4 Seats

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S - 4 Seats is a 4-seat hatchback with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2021 to 2023, when it cost £47,470 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds, slower than 70% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 280 miles (450 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 59% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 7th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (171 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 77 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 103 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 298 miles (479 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2021 example is estimated at £13,000–£16,100 and a 2023 one at £18,000–£19,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2021 car should still manage about 253 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
