Power and Performance
Kai Grünitz, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Development, describes the ID.3 GTX Performance as the electric counterpart to the iconic Golf GTI Clubsport. With its spontaneous and superior power delivery, the ID.3 GTX Performance is set to redefine electric driving dynamics. The vehicle features an enhanced version of the Volkswagen Performance drive system, with output increased from 210 kW (ID.3 GTX) to 240 kW. The electric drive motor produces a maximum torque of 545 Nm, exceeding the drive power of Volkswagen's most powerful V6 turbocharged engines. The ID.3 GTX Performance accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 200 km/h.
Battery and Charging
The ID.3 GTX Performance is equipped with a 79 kWh lithium-ion battery (net) that can absorb up to 185 kW of power at DC quick-charging stations. Thanks to innovative charging and thermal management with battery pre-conditioning, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in about 26 minutes. The vehicle boasts a WLTP range of up to 601 km, making it a practical choice for both city driving and long-distance travel.

The standard progressive steering system has been adapted specifically for the GTX. Additionally, the vehicle can be equipped with the modified Sport DCC adaptive chassis control, which uses refined algorithms to ensure precise handling and perfect roadholding.
Distinctive Design
The ID.3 GTX Performance stands out with its sporty design elements. The GTX-specific front bumper includes a new independent black air intake in a diamond-style design and a customised signature light. The 20-inch Skagen GTX wheel rims are available in black as an option. Inside, the vehicle features a range of GTX-specific elements, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
