The Volkswagen ID.3 GTX may seem like just another electric vehicle (EV) at first, but appearances can be deceiving. Recently captured on camera, the black prototype showcased more than a striking exterior.

There are speculations that Volkswagen might make an announcement regarding ID.4 and 5

Its design features are a mix of subtle and bold changes that help the car stand out from its regular ID.3 siblings. Noteworthy is the new rocker panel that adds a grounded, aggressive look to the car. It’s not just about aesthetics, though; the ID.3 GTX is expected to carry an all-wheel-drive and a dual-motor layout. If rumors hold true, this car could boast up to 300 horsepower, a significant jump from the standard ID.3’s 201 hp.

Volkswagen is teasing fans and critics alike by covering specific design elements with distracting stickers, leaving much to the imagination. These likely hide additional design cues tying the GTX to its other GTX family members, the ID.4 and ID.5.

This isn’t just a solitary move by Volkswagen. The ID.3 GTX is part of a broader strategy by the automaker to diversify its electric hatchback line. Just recently, the company showcased the ID. GTI concept, which is set for a 2026 release and focuses on a front-motor, front-wheel-drive layout. It seems Volkswagen is pushing hard to meet the varying tastes of EV buyers.

As we transition to greener modes of transport, the ID.3 GTX could be the sporty, high-performance alternative many consumers didn’t know they were waiting for. While VW remains tight-lipped about the full details, it’s evident that the ID.3 GTX is set to be much more than just another addition to the growing electric vehicle market. It aims to be a game-changer, offering both style and substance.
