The 'long distance suitability' is a 5-star rating that indicates how suitable a vehicle is for long trips. The rating is based on the 1-Stop Range: the total distance a vehicle can cover with one charging stop of 15 minutes.
† This can only be achieved using a 3-phase grid connection. The majority of homes and charge points do not have this connection. In practice charge power will often be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 12h15m and a charge speed of 23 mph.
Rated = official figures as published by manufacturer. Rated consumption and fuel equivalency figures include charging losses.
Vehicle = calculated battery energy consumption used by the vehicle for propulsion and on-board systems.
NOTE: The fuel equivalency figures are shown in IMPERIAL MPG. Figures in US MPG will differ significantly.
Indication of real-world energy use in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C. For 'Highway' figures a constant speed of 70 mph is assumed. The energy use will depend on speed, style of driving, climate and route conditions.
* = estimated value. Average energy consumption and range based on moderate drive style and climate. Real-life values may differ significantly. Pricing information might not be actual for some regions. No rights can be derived from the information on this site.
All about the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro
No longer available
This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro was available from November 2023 until July 2025. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro.
A new model of the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro (2023) is available: Volkswagen ID.5 Pro (2025).
Pricing
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £50,060 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £50,940. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro is 210 kW (282 hp). The maximum torque is 402 lb-ft. The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro is rear wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 6.7 seconds. The top speed is 112 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro has a total capacity of 82 kWh. The usable capacity is 77 kWh. An estimated range of about 285 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.
For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 205 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 415 mi.
Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 8 hours 15 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 12 hours 15 minutes and a charge rate of 23 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 39 hours 30 minutes.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 175 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 120 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 195 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Volkswagen ID.5 Pro is about 270 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 150 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 376 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 186 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Volkswagen ID.5 Pro emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
