From Battery Life.
Description:
In this video, I test the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance Fire & Ice in a real-world winter range test at 110 km/h.
The Fire & Ice Edition is purely a design variant — technically identical to the normal ID.3 GTX Performance. What makes this test interesting is the winter condition and the 110 km/h speed, which represents a mix of Autobahn and country road driving.
Test conditions:
Temperature around −3 °C
Constant 110 km/h GPS speed
79 kWh battery, rear-wheel drive, 240 kW
20-inch wheels (215)
Heat pump, Comfort mode
Cabin temperature 22 °C
In the video you’ll see:
Real winter consumption at 110 km/h
Stable range calculation over the entire drive
Noise & comfort comparison vs 130 km/h
Steering assist behavior on long drives
Volkswagen navigation quirks (SOC at arrival)
DC charging performance after the test
This is not a lab test — it’s driven exactly how many people use their EVs in winter.
