VW ID 5 GTX HONEST review 2022 - AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THIS?

[@christopherocean4931]

I have been driving my id5 max full tec pack for 6 months now and is brilliant. Better comfort, better build and riding quality and more quiet than model x I had previously. DCC is great. I tested range with temp between -2 - 6 degree and with heat pump, no eco mode, no air con but auto air mode. I get average 2.4 miles/kwh, around 200 miles mixed motorway and city in UK. That is great consider it only has 77 kw battery. I get 3.5 - 4 miles/kwh, 260 miles mixture use in summer. Software is currently on 3.0 and has slow response but really doesn't bother me because I only probably spend 2% of my time use it and rest of the time driving. Full driving assist is similar to auto pilot on Tesla and works brilliantly, personally I feel safer in ID5 than model x when auto pilot mode is engaged. Not many ID5 max is around in the UK at the moment and hope my 6 months driving experience could contribute to the EV community.

I bought a ID5 GTX a week ago. No regrets so far. It is a fantastic car. Mine is measured to 6.08 sec (0-60 Mph / 0-100 kmh) @ 80% SoC. I am 55 so not that important to me if it is 5 or 6 sec in acceleration.

One of these caught my eye on the road. Currently have a Mercedes’ shooting brake would never drive a Skoda. But as a mother to three boys with three different schools I’m looking for comfort room and decreased running costs. Don’t care about the bhp.

You quote metric torque in Nm, metric units, well done. You quote power in bhp, imperial units; you should be quoting metric hp (PS) with metric torque (Nm). (1 metric horse power (PS) = horse lifting 1 man 75Kg in 1 second.)

Hey Paul thanks for the comment🤗 appreciate the feedback. Keep watching and I will include PS as well in the next episodes. Thanks for chatting with us 👍🏽

80% gives me 270 km at 0-5 celcius outside temp with cruise speed of 120-130 km/h

That’s Awsome. This is the type of real world experience we love to share. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗

For the ideal 0-60 time you need at least 88% and the battery needs to be at at least 28C. I‘ve got the ID.4 GTX and i got that info from my dealer.
