In a world where switching from a conventionally-powered car to an electrically powered one is full of bewildering choices, it’s good to find something as relatively straightforward, visually familiar - and easy to drive - as Volkswagen’s handsome ID5.
The name is a contrived confection (supposedly abbreviating VW’s ‘visionary’ aspirations) - but with its sloping rear end reminiscent of a coupe, sharp lines up front and pleasing performance, this can be forgiven. It’s also much sleeker than the rather boxy-looking ID.4.
