Volkswagen is encouraging customers to go electric this summer with an offer on the new ID.3.

Customers can buy the refined and upgraded model from now until 2 October with a 4.9% personal contract plan (PCP) from Volkswagen Financial Services and get a £3,000 deposit contribution.

The new Volkswagen ID.3 went on sale in the UK in April and now has a sharper exterior design – especially at the front, which features crisper lines, enlarged air intakes and a longer-looking bonnet through the removal of the black strip beneath the windscreen.

The new model also has an improved interior with intuitive features and state-of-the-art technology. The interior is completely animal-free: the Artvelours Eco microfibre material used for the door trims and seat covers is 71% recyclate, a secondary raw material obtained by recycling plastic waste that has previously been disposed of at least once.

Two battery sizes and trims are available: the 58kWh Pro and the 77kWh Pro S. The ID.3 Pro S can be charged from 5 to 80% within 30 minutes with a charging capacity of up to 170kW, while the ID.3 Pro needs 35 minutes with a charging capacity of up to 120kW. The large battery gives the ID.3 Pro S a predicted range of up to 347 miles (combined WLTP).

Prices for the new Volkswagen ID.3 start from £37,115 (recommended retail price including VAT, on the road), through all Volkswagen UK Retailers.

Customers can also get an ID.4, ID.5 or ID.3 (outgoing model) until 2nd October on a 0% PCP from Volkswagen Financial Services.

This reduces monthly payments by up to £33 for an ID.3, £97 for an ID.4 and £101 for an ID.5, when compared with previous offers.

All variants and trims of the ID.3 (outgoing model), ID.4 and ID.5 are included in the offer, for which a minimum 5% deposit is required and the PCP maximum term is 36 months.
