Volkswagen announced that it finally reached its goal of 30,000 reservations for the 1ST launch edition of the ID.3.

The target was to collect 30,000 by the world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show and exactly that's what was accomplished, although many said in May that VW set a low target. The first 10,000 were pre-booked in 24 hours.

According to the German manufacturer, the majority of Volkswagen ID.3 1ST was pre-booked in five countries:

Germany
Norway
the Netherlands
Sweden
the United Kingdom

Jürgen Stackmann, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand responsible for Sales, Marketing and After-Sales: stated

“Before the IAA, we have already reached our target of 30,000 reservations for the ID.3 1ST edition . This success shows that the ID.3 is coming at precisely the right time. More and more people want to switch over to e-mobility.”

More than 30,000 reservations for the ID.3 1ST edition

Most of the pre-bookers live in Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom
World premiere of the ID.3
at the IAA in Frankfurt
Volkswagen Sales Board Member Jürgen Stackmann: “The success of our pre-booking shows that the ID.3 is coming at precisely the right time.”

Just before the beginning of the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Volkswagen has already received more than 30,000 reservations for the ID.3. Most of the pre-bookers live in Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. More than 100,000 further ID. fans have registered for the ID.3 newsletter which Volkswagen is using to present regular information on its new full-electric ID. family as well as topics connected with e-mobility. Volkswagen is showing the ID.3 as a world premiere at the IAA next week.

Jürgen Stackmann, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand responsible for Sales, Marketing and After Sales: “Before the IAA, we have already reached our target of 30,000 reservations for the ID.3 1ST edition . This success shows that the ID.3 is coming at precisely the right time. More and more people want to switch over to e-mobility.”

Since May this year, potential customers in Europe have been able to place non-binding reservations for a production slot for the limited ID.3 launch edition in return for a registration deposit of €1,000.

A new era for Volkswagen is beginning with the ID.3. This is the first model in an entire family of full-electric vehicles which the brand will be introducing to make e-mobility attractive and affordable for many people. While the base price of the ID.3 series model in Germany will be under €30,000 (recommended retail price) for the smallest version, the price of the exclusive pre-booking edition ID.3 1ST is under €40,000, in each case before the state subsidy is deducted. The ID.3 1ST has a range of up to 420 kilometers (WLTP).

In addition to a variety of additional features and exclusive design details, purchasers of the special launch edition ID.3 1ST will also receive free-of-charge electric power for one year up to a maximum of 2,000 kWh – at all public charging points connected to Volkswagen’s WeCharge charging app as well as on the IONITY pan-European fast charging network. The ID.3 will be delivered to customers with a neutral carbon balance.

In the fall and the spring, things will become more concrete for pre-bookers when they enter the ordering phase with their preferred dealer to select the version of the ID.3 1ST which they wish to purchase.

”People who are still interested in an ID.3 1ST or an early model in the ID.3 production series should still register with us,” says Sales Board Member Jürgen Stackmann. “Our markets are keeping waiting lists for potential purchasers. Experience indicates that there may still be some movement on the waiting list up to the deadline for binding orders.” Reservations can still be placed on the portal http://www.volkswagen.com/id-prebooking or at Volkswagen’s IAA stand. Production of the ID.3 1ST is to start at the end of 2019, as planned. The first vehicles will be delivered in mid-2020.

This year, Volkswagen’s IAA presentation will focus on the ID.3 and e-mobility. Visitors will be able to take a first look at the next model in the ID. family and to see what the next stage after the ID.3 will be. In addition, Volkswagen will have an entirely redesigned stand, at its usual place in Hall 3, based on the new brand design, which is also making its world debut. The ID.3 will be the first new model to be unveiled with the brand’s new logo.
