The front fascia features a diamond-mesh grille integrated with matrix LED headlights, significantly improving recognition when illuminated. A honeycomb-style front bumper with black decorative trims further enhances the sporty visual effect. The new model offers five exterior color options: Ion Gray, Starry White, Warm Cloud White, Glacier Blue, and GT Red.
Side and Rear Profile:
From the side, the car adopts a sporty two-box hatchback design. Its length has slightly increased compared to the standard version, from 4,261 mm to 4,266 mm. The new dimensions measure 4,266/1,778/1,568 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,765 mm. To highlight its sporty character, the rear is equipped with a large roof spoiler and slim taillight clusters, giving the vehicle a more layered and dynamic look. “SAIC Volkswagen” and “ID.3” badging further enhance brand recognition.
Interior & Features:
The cabin adopts a minimalist design dominated by dark tones, with extensive suede coverings and red stitching to elevate the premium feel. Standard equipment includes a 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.9-inch floating central touchscreen, paired with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and integrated sport seats.
