Overview
The ID.5 is VW’s coupe-SUV variant of the ID.4 platform. Both cars use the same MEB floor architecture, the same battery options, and the same powertrain. The ID.5 differs in its roofline: a more steeply raked rear creates the visual identity of a coupe-SUV at the cost of some rear headroom and a modest reduction in boot volume.
In Australia, coupe-SUVs — the BMW X4, Mercedes GLC Coupe, Audi Q5 Sportback format — have found buyers who want the sporty visual treatment over the maximum practicality of a conventional SUV. The ID.5 applies this concept to the MEB platform at a price substantially below European alternatives.
Key Specification
Battery: 82kWh. WLTP: 541km. Drive: RWD. DC: 175kW. 0-100: approximately 8.9s. Price: approximately $67,990.
Verdict
The ID.5 Pro is the ID.4 platform in a sportier shape. If the coupe-SUV aesthetic matters and the modest rear headroom reduction is acceptable, the ID.5 delivers the same underlying EV capability with a distinctive visual identity. For buyers choosing between ID.4 and ID.5, it is a design choice rather than a capability difference.
