Some consider it to be the 100% electric interpretation of the precursor to compact sports cars, originally launched nearly 50 years ago. Is that really the case?
Inheriting all the recent improvements introduced across the range from the “normal” version, but featuring several unique style elements both inside and out, its main advantages lie in the mechanics of the only rear-wheel-drive member of VW’s GTX family: a 100% electric engine with 286 hp and 545 Nm; 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds; a top speed of 180 km/h; an announced range of 605 km in the WLTP cycle; and a chassis with specific tuning.
To find out if it can truly be considered a kind of electric Golf GTI, there’s nothing like watching the complete review conducted by journalist António de Sousa Pereira for AutoGear at the legendary Estoril Circuit, featuring the new VW ID.3 GTX.
