The body’s black elements have a sleek, high-gloss finish. The same high-gloss finish carries over to the redesigned side sills and the updated lower rear end with the diffuser. Additionally, the 20-inch Skagen alloy wheels come standard.
Equipped as standard, the premium sports seats, crafted with an ergonomic design using fabric and leatherette, highlight the sporty character of the ID.3 models.
Adding to its aesthetic, the GTX model features red decorative stitching on the seats and a multi-function steering wheel. Moreover, the high-performance ID.3 GTX variant comes with DCC adaptive chassis control.
