Even though the ID.5 takes the shape of an SUV, its curved roofline and sweeping body make it more of a coupé than the traditional boxy design of an SUV. Volkswagen have made no compromises inside, however, even with the sloping rear, there’s still plenty of headroom for passengers in the rear-seats.
