The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro has a maximum power of 210 kW (286 hp / 282 bhp) and a total torque of 545 Nm (402 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 82.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 77.0 kWh, with a 5.0 kWh buffer (6.1%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 350 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 556 km (346 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 13.8 kWh/100 km (4.5 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 175 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 64 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 35 minutes at an average power of 92 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 2–43%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 100 kW over a session lasting about 19 minutes and 1 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 47 minutes, needing four charging stops from 2% to 49%, totaling 88 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 0 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro has a rear-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the rear axle.
The motor used is Induction Motor.
Suspension
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, both equipped with electronically controlled dampers and coil springs for a smooth and adaptive ride.
The standard suspension has steel springs with a fixed height but an optional damping adjustment.
Ground clearance with this setup is 170 mm.
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro features an optional suspension system with MacPherson strut front construction and multilink rear construction. It has monotube dampers on both axles and coil springs at both ends.
The sport suspension has a fixed height and damping characteristics.
Ground clearance with this setup is 155 mm.
Steering
Progressive steering is optional on the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
In addition, rear-wheel steering is optional, reducing the turning circle at low speeds.
Drive Modes
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 4 modes:
- Eco: Light steering effort and comfort-oriented throttle response.
- Comfort: Balanced steering and throttle.
- Sport: Dynamic steering and throttle.
- Individual: Custom steering and throttle.
Brakes
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro uses disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. Rear drum brakes require little maintenance and pair well with regenerative braking, which handles most deceleration.
The front discs are 358 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between two levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 130 kW.
Exterior
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro is classified as a compact SUV (C-SUV). It measures 4599 mm long, 1852 mm wide, and 1615 mm tall.
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro is available in 5 paint colors, including both solid and metallic options.

- 235/45 tires on 21-inch wheels at the front and 255/40 tires on 21-inch wheels at the rear
Narrower wheels reduce energy consumption and can increase range, while wider wheels can improve traction and handling.
The car has four regular doors and a liftgate.
You can choose an option to have the liftgate electrically powered. You can also have the liftgate with a kick sensor, making it possible to open it by just kicking the foot under the tailgate.
There are two different roof options to select from.
A conventional roof is standard.
An optional panoramic glass roof covers most of the roof area and has an opening front section, making the cabin feel brighter and more spacious. An electric sunshade helps protect occupants from direct sunlight.
Privacy glass from the B-pillar rearward is optional. It reduces glare and solar heat.
