Hot car deal: stylish Volkswagen ID.5 for £316 a month

Volkswagen has been the go-to brand for stylish SUVs for several decades, and none are more on-trend than the rakish electric Volkswagen ID.5. Not only is it whisper quiet and cheap to run thanks to its electric powertrain, but it also has head-turning looks. This arresting deal could see the tech-filled ID.5 on your drive for a monthly price you’d expect for just a supermini or hatchback.

What’s so good about this Volkswagen ID.5 deal? 

Offered by our parent company Carwow, this four-year deal has monthly payments of £316, which is considerably less than the Tesla Model Y. An initial payment of £3,151.91 is required, which is also competitive, and it’s worth noting that there’s a mileage limit of 5,000 miles per year. If you do need to go over this limit, there’s a 12p/mile charge.

Considering this is for an upmarket electric SUV with room for a family and their luggage, it’s an impressive deal. The Style trim comes with a generous 12-inch touchscreen and updated software designed to be more user friendly. It’s also our pick, thanks to kit like 19-inch alloy wheels, matrix LED headlights, triple-zone climate control and a panoramic sunroof. 

What’s so good about the Volkswagen ID.5?

Sitting alongside the Volkswagen ID.4, the ID.5 sits on the same underpinnings and offers a lot of the same features, but in a more stylish package. Instead of a boxy rear compartment, you get a sloped roofline and rear window, flowing into a prominent rear spoiler. Not only does this look sporty, it also helps the ID.5 cut through the air more cleanly, giving it a slightly better range figure.

Power in this Pro Performance version comes from a 201bhp electric motor at the rear wheels, so while it won’t exactly pin you back in your seat, a 0-62mph time of 8.4 seconds is more than quick enough to keep up with traffic. Its 77kWh battery can also serve up a range figure of 327 miles, which is competitive against rivals and makes the ID.5 capable of longer trips without any hassle. Charging speeds of up to 135kW at public chargers can provide a 10 to 80% top-up in just under half an hour.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
