Volkswagen is taking one of the most famous names in performance motoring into an exciting new chapter with the new Volkswagen ID.3 GTI – bringing legendary GTI character together with all-electric performance for the first time.
Set to be available to order from early 2027, the ID.3 GTI combines the instant response of an electric powertrain with the sporty handling, distinctive styling and driver-focused character that have helped make the GTI badge an icon.
The new ID.3 GTI has been developed to deliver an engaging driving experience while embracing Volkswagen’s electric future.
With rear-wheel drive and instant electric power delivery, the ID.3 GTI promises quick responses and dynamic performance. Launch Control adds to its performance credentials, while sports suspension and adaptive chassis control have been designed to deliver the precise handling expected from a car wearing the GTI badge.
There’s even a dedicated GTI driving mode, bringing another layer of character to the driving experience.
While the powertrain represents a new direction, Volkswagen hasn’t forgotten what makes a GTI instantly recognisable.
The ID.3 GTI features distinctive sporty styling and GTI-inspired details throughout, including striking 20-inch Wörthersee alloy wheels, a distinctive lighting signature and the option of iconic Tornado Red paintwork.
It’s a modern interpretation of classic GTI design, combining the familiar sporting DNA of the badge with the cleaner, futuristic appearance of Volkswagen’s ID. electric range.
The GTI treatment continues inside.
Drivers can expect a sporty steering wheel, dedicated GTI displays and distinctive red contrast stitching, helping separate the GTI from the standard ID.3 and creating a more performance-focused atmosphere behind the wheel.
Volkswagen has combined these touches with the technology and practicality expected from its latest generation of electric vehicles, creating a car designed to be just as comfortable in everyday driving as it is engaging on a favourite stretch of road.
The ID.3 GTI isn't simply about outright performance.
Volkswagen is positioning the model as an electric performance car that can still work as an everyday vehicle, combining its modern electric drivetrain with strong range capability and fast-charging technology.
That means the ID.3 GTI aims to bring together the excitement associated with GTI models and the efficiency, practicality and flexibility of an all-electric hatchback.
For generations, those three letters have represented some of Volkswagen’s most exciting cars. Now, the ID.3 GTI is preparing to take that heritage into the electric age.
Rear-wheel drive. Instant electric performance. Classic GTI-inspired design. And a driving experience developed with enthusiasts in mind.
The electric GTI era is almost here.
The new Volkswagen ID.3 GTI is expected to be available to order from early 2027.
