This exclusive EV-only event which was held at the Volkswagen showroom on Alexandra Road, featuring a range of models from Volkswagen, Skoda, and Cupra, the performance brand from Seat.
Interestingly, the Volkswagen Group Singapore is accelerating its EV push with 11 new models from the VW group lineup, including the sleek ID.4 and the spacious ID. Buzz, which have yet to debut in Malaysia. The event will highlighted the impact of these vehicles on the EV landscape in Singapore. Will Malaysians also get these vehicles here?
Moreover, the event marked the launch of seven electric models from Volkswagen and Skoda, with four additional EV models from Volkswagen and Cupra on display. Key models include the ID.4 and ID.5, both SUVs powered by a single electric motor delivering 282bhp and 545Nm of torque to the rear wheels.
The ID.4 can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and offers a range of up to 550km, while the Volkswagen ID.5’s aerodynamic design allows it to reach up to 556km. Both models support DC charging up to 135kW, enabling a 10 to 80 percent charge in 33 minutes.
For sportier options, the ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX are available, featuring dual electric motors that increase power to 335bhp and reduce the 0-100 km/h time to 5.4 seconds. These models can accept higher charging speeds of 175kW, reducing the 10 to 80 percent charge time to 26 minutes.
On top of that, Volkswagen Electric City also previewed upcoming models, including the ID.
