By / 3 years ago / UK News / No Comments

The Volkswagen e-up!, ID.3 and ID.4 fully electric cars are now available through the Onto subscription service, expanding the choice of electric cars on the fleet.

The ID.3 is available through Onto in ‘Life’ and ‘Family’ trims and with the 58kWh ‘Pro Performance’ battery

The cars can be booked for a fixed monthly fee, starting from as little as £339 a month and including 1,000 monthly miles, insurance, breakdown cover and charging at more than 11,000 points.

Onto has ordered a mix of e-up!, ID.3 and ID.4 models, which are expected to prove very popular with customers. The existing ID.3 Family Pro Performance models were all booked within 48 hours of joining the Onto fleet in September and the brand is currently one of the top three choices for Onto users; it now accounts for 18% of vehicles on the fleet.

The new additions will provide Onto customers with access to the ID.4 in Life Pro Performance configuration with a WLTP range of up to 322 miles and equipment including LED headlights, Adaptive Cruise Control with City Emergency Braking System, 30-colour interior ambient lighting and a Discover Navigation Pro touch-screen navigation infotainment system with 10-inch display.

The ID.3 is available through Onto in ‘Life’ and ‘Family’ trims and with the 58kWh ‘Pro Performance’ battery, giving a WLTP range of 264 miles. Standard equipment across every ID.3 includes LED headlights, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, Car2X, Natural Voice Control, parking sensors front and rear, and wheels from 18 inches up. All models also have navigation with a 10-inch touch screen, while keyless start, Driver Profile Selection, climate control and the ID.Light function are also available.

The e-up! features a 32.3kWh lithium-ion battery pack, giving a WLTP range of 159 miles and with a package of driver assistance, safety and connectivity technologies including a multifunction camera with Lane Assist, curtain airbags and smartphone integration cradle. Convenience features include heated front seats and a heated windscreen, climate control, rain-sensing wipers and electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors, while cruise control is also standard-fit.

Nick O’Neill, head of fleet at Volkswagen UK, said: “I’m so excited for this contract with Onto to be fulfilled – not only will this complete a key fleet deal this year, but once the cars are delivered, Onto customers will get to enjoy Volkswagen e-mobility, with countless more seeing the ID. models on our screens again, when Onto’s TV campaign goes live.

“That’s what it’s all about: enabling even more people to see just how good our models are – whether that’s by their use on the Onto fleet by customers who may go on to purchase a Volkswagen electric vehicle of their own, or by giving the models more exposure on UK roads and on TV.”
