Milton Keynes, UK – Volkswagen is turning up the style dial on its all-electric SUV range with the introduction of the ID.4 and ID.5 Black Edition trims, available in the UK from Thursday, 29 May. The new models build on the popular Match trim levels with a suite of desirable upgrades—delivering enhanced style, added comfort and strong value for money.
Designed to appeal to drivers seeking greater visual distinction and premium interior appointments, the Black Edition specification brings £4,625 worth of extra equipment, yet commands a modest increase of just £1,780 over their Match counterparts.
Sophisticated Styling, Inside and Out
Visually, the Black Edition trims stand apart with a host of high-gloss black design elements. 19-inch Onyx black alloy wheels, black exterior mirror housings, and a panoramic glass sunroof lend a commanding presence, while subtle high-gloss black finishes on the roof trim, rear pillars, and nameplates complete the bold exterior package.
Inside, the upgrades continue with Volkswagen’s Top-Sport ‘Plus’ Interior Pack, transforming the cabin into a more indulgent and supportive space. Front occupants benefit from ArtVelours microfleece sport seats with integrated head restraints, electric lumbar adjustment, and even a massage function—features typically reserved for higher-priced vehicles.
Electric Performance Without Compromise
Beneath the stylish enhancements, the new Black Edition trims retain the robust underpinnings of their respective ID.4 and ID.5 siblings. All models are powered by a 77 kWh battery delivering 286 PS, resulting in confident acceleration and competitive driving range.
- ID.4 Black Edition – £46,180 OTR / 336-mile WLTP range
- ID.4 Black Edition 4MOTION – £47,900 OTR / 322-mile WLTP range
- ID.5 Black Edition – £47,680 OTR / 341-mile WLTP range
These figures ensure the Black Edition variants remain practical long-distance electric vehicles while offering an elevated ownership experience.
Style Meets Value
With a striking new look, comfort-oriented upgrades and a modest price increase relative to the options they include, Volkswagen’s latest Black Edition trims offer compelling value. Whether you’re drawn to the spacious ID.4 or the sleek coupe-like lines of the ID.5, these new editions provide a compelling blend of elegance, equipment, and electric efficiency.
The ID.4 and ID.5 Black Edition models are available to order from 29 May 2025 at Volkswagen retailers across the UK.
