Affordable entry-level version ID.3 available early January
Volkswagen ID.3
Today the last Volkswagen e-Golf rolls off the production line. The electric car makes way completely for the Volkswagen ID.3, of which an affordable entry-level version will soon appear.
The last Volkswagen e-Golf rolls off the production line today in Dresden, Germany. It is the last factory where the electric Golf was still built. The production facility will be converted in record time, so that the successor Volkswagen ID.3 can already be assembled at the end of January. A total of 145,561 units were built of the e-Golf, which was also produced in Volkswagens ‘capital’ Wolfsburg from 2014 to 2020.
While the e-Golf was still an electrified version of a fuel model, the ID.3 was designed from the drawing board as an electric car. The new platform Modular Electric Kit (‘MEB’) has been developed for this. Since the introduction of the ID.3 in the European market last September, more than 28,000 units have already been delivered to customers.
Volkswagen announces that a new, affordable basic version of the ID.3 will be released in early 2021. Incidentally, the Volkswagen e-Golf is still widely available as a second-hand car via our website.
