Almost a month later, it is the cap of 20,000 pre-orders which is crossed for this ID.3 1st edition. Jürgen Stackmann, member of the Volkswagen board of directors, welcomed his enthusiasm which seems to go beyond expectations of reaching 30,000 pre-orders by September.

The Volkswagen ID.3 presents itself as a compact sedan, the series version of which will not be available before mid-2020 with several possibilities of battery capacities. The 1st edition will use the average capacity (58 kWh) offering a little more than 400 km of autonomy in the WLTP cycle.
