VW ID.5 - Green NCAP 2023 Results - 5 stars
Pro Performance electric RWD automatic
Tested here is the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro Performance with 150 kW and 77 kWh battery. Even though the car weighs more than 2,100 kg due to its big battery, the demonstrated efficiency performance is impressive. The recorded consumption values are among the lowest measured by Green NCAP so far. The energy demand in the -7°C Cold Ambient Test is high, but this is the price of comfortable in-cabin heating and battery management strategies despite the presence of both a PTC heater and a heat pump. The large battery enables the vehicle to drive a little more than 500 km according to the WLTP+ procedure. With the high consumption measured in Green NCAP's Cold Ambient Test, a range of 250 km can be covered starting with a full battery, but around 480 km can be expected under moderate ambient conditions in a real-world drive. The usable battery capacity measured by Green NCAP matches exactly the officially declared value of 77 kWh. When charging with 11 kW, the overall efficiency from the grid to the output side of the battery is an impressive 91.1%. The VW ID.5 presents a lot of the progress electric vehicles are making nowadays and easily reaches an Average Score of 96% and 5 Green stars.
