Volkswagen Unveils New ID.5 Coupe-Style SUV

Volkswagen has presented the coupe-style adjunct to its previously introduced ID.4 all-electric SUV. North American VW and EV lovers take note, however: for now, the German automaker has no plans to bring the ID.5 to our market.

From the front, in many other respects, the ID.5 is very similar to the ID.4 it riffs off of. The differences become apparent as you move towards the back, however, as the sloping roofline comes into view. For a general idea of the shape of the model and the role it will play in the ID lineup, think Audi Q4 Sportback.

The roofline might slope downwards, but VW claims no interior second-row or cargo space is lost in comparison with the ID.4 (cargo space is 549 litres with the seats up, and 1,561 with them down). And the reward for this design trickery is a more stylish vehicle – if you happen to like the style of coupe-SUVs.

There are other features to help distinguish the 5 from the 4 in the ID lineup. There are elements borrowed from other sportier Volkswagen models, and that sloping roofline ends at a functional rear spoiler. Inside, there are fewer differences from the ID.4, so if you’ve seen or are familiar with that model, that’s what you get here. The gauge cluster is mounted on the steering column (and contains the button for shifting gears), and the space is modern yet slightly spartan.
