Volkswagen Introduces Horsepower Subscription in ID.3

August 18, 2025

Volkswagen has introduced a horsepower subscription in the ID.3 electric car. For £16.5 a month, a boost of an additional 27 horsepower is offered, which are blocked by default: the car has a total of 228 horsepower, but originally only 201 are active. There is also an option for a one-time payment for permanent unlocking. The subscription has been launched only in the UK so far, but it could be available in other countries in the future.
