Volkswagen,ID.3 GTX,Electric Car

Volkswagen has launched the ID.3 GTX, an electric hot hatch, which makes its world debut alongside the ID.7 GTX. The ID.3 GTX features a single motor mounted at the back and driving the rear wheels, showcasing VW's advancements in motor technology.

But today VW is launching the next best thing, the ID.3 GTX, which makes its world debut alongside the ID.7 GTX you can read about in our separate story. We got our first taste of a hot ID.3 back in 2021 when VW released the ID.X concept, though the production ID.3 GTX is different in a couple of key areas. Because while the ID.

X had two motors and all-wheel drive - a setup it pinched from the production ID.4 GTX unveiled a month earlier - the ID.3 GTX, like all other ID.3s, sticks with just a single APP550 motor mounted at the back and driving the rear wheels. But VW’s motor tech has come a long way in the last year, and if you’ve paid attention to the power boost recently handed down to single-motor ID.4s you’ll understand why the Wolfsburg team felt that they could settle for one motor and still build a convincing hot hatch.
