From Battery Life.
Description
The 2026 Volkswagen ID.5 GTX gets a big tech update — Software 5.4 is here! In this video, I go through all the new features, design changes, infotainment updates, and driving improvements of the latest ID.5 GTX.
You’ll see how the new AP550 rear motor, battery preheating, and revised controls improve the experience. Plus, I’ll test acceleration, top speed, and show what’s new inside the infotainment and head-up display.
