From Battery Life.
Description:
In this video, I test the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance Fire & Ice in a real-world winter Autobahn range test at 130 km/h.
Temperatures are between −7 °C and −3 °C, the car was preheated, and the battery was warmed as much as possible — exactly how many EV drivers use their cars in winter.
This test shows:
Real winter consumption at 130 km/h
How much range the 79 kWh battery actually delivers
The impact of cold temperatures and battery heating
Comfort, noise, and ride quality on 20-inch winter tires
Charging performance after a high-speed winter drive
Direct comparison context vs Tesla Model 3 winter testing
The Fire & Ice Edition is purely a design variant — technically identical to the normal ID.3 GTX Performance. This test focuses on efficiency, range, and daily Autobahn usability in winter, not lab numbers.
