It pairs a 64kWh battery with a 210kW rear motor and claims roughly 320km of range, though that figure is derived from European data rather than a firm VW Australia number. It supports 125kW DC fast charging and can still tow a braked 2,300kg. Priced from $83,590 before on-road costs, it is on sale now. There is no ANCAP rating.
