Okay, configured the ID5 GTX with some extras and note that it is not as good as a Passat… and I am way above 65k in Germany.
This is too expensive for a Volkswagen. Even if it is the GTX. Those cars will only go into leasing if you ask me.
Why is it so expensive in Germany? In the US the ID.4 tops out around 55k USD for fully loaded AWD Pro S Plus, and I’d say the refresh will only add 1000-2000 to the list price at most. The version to get in my opinion is a well equipped RWD which would be just under 50k USD here in the states. With some light haggling with the dealer and taking the 7500 lease EV credit which VWoA passes along to the customer, you could get it for a net price of just under 40k which is fairly competitive.
Germans are willing to pay more than Americans. Many German cars are cheaper in the USA than in Germany and some cars aren’t offered here like the VW Atlas.
