VW reveals new GTX variants


Volkswagen has revealed GTX sporty versions of their ID.3 and ID.7 Tourer electric cars, which will arrive in Ireland in the second half of the year, writes Brian Byrne.

The GTX grade includes individual front and rear light signatures as well as other exterior and interior details. The GTX suffix has a similar ethos as GT has had for combustion engined cars such as the GTI, GTD and GTE.

The ID.3 GTX will come in two specification levels, the upper Performance one emulating the Golf GTI Clubsport and coming with adaptive chassis control. Distinguishing features include a specific front bumper, high-gloss black elements, and bespoke side sills and rear diffuser.

Similar treatment goes to the ID.7 Tourer GTX, the standard version of which only went on pre-sale last week.

Volkswagen sold about 394,000 electric vehicles last year.
