Volkswagen electric cars 2023 | heycar

The number of new Volkswagen electric cars available to buy or lease is growing all the time. VW was an early leader in EVs, with the e-Up arriving in 2014. More new Volkswagen electric cars are now arriving all the time.

Traditionally, the Volkswagen Golf has been the core of the company’s range. But the move to electric means the new ‘ID’ range of EVs is coming to the fore, led by the Volkswagen ID.3 electric family hatchback. It is a rival to models such as the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric, MG4 EV, Cupra Born and forthcoming Peugeot e-308. 

The Volkswagen ID.3 actually replaced an early electric version of the Golf, called the e-Golf. This was launched in 2017 and you can find secondhand versions on the heycar marketplace, with prices starting from around £20,000.

The Volkswagen ID range of electric cars has grown over the years, with the ID.4 crossover SUV following a year after the ID.3. It’s been well received, with prizes including the 2022 World Car of the Year award. The Volkswagen ID.5 is a sleeker, more coupe-look version of the ID.4.

Many more Volkswagen electric cars are waiting in the wings, with the latest, the Volkswagen ID.Buzz, stealing the headlines. It is a fully-electric, people-carrying retro reinterpretation of the classic Volkswagen Microbus, and a commercial variant will become one of the first electric vans on the market.

Volkswagen electric cars are also now starting to bring the brand’s famous GTI heritage into the modern era. You can buy sporty-looking Volkswagen ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX models, with more power and plentiful red accents like those worn by the Golf GTI over the years. We look forward to a high-performance version of the Volkswagen ID.3 electric car in due course, too.

High-profile EVs such as the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y have been selling well so far this year. However, now supply constraints are improving, Volkswagen electric cars are expected to start moving up the sales charts, particularly the ID.3 and ID.4.

Here, we’ll take you through the full range of Volkswagen electric cars on sale in 2023, and show you what’s interesting and exciting about each new VW EV available to buy or lease.
