Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S upgrades to latest software, faster charging and Harman Kardon audio options

Volkswagen has also equipped its new Pro S with the new infotainment UI that might also feature in cars based on the new ID. CODE concept for the Chinese market, with a new ChatGPT integration to boot...although its actual dashboard screen still has touch sliders. Then again, it also has an "enhanced" heads-up display and the separate drive-mode steering wheel paddle of the ID.7. 

A 12-channel 480W Harman Kardon system is also now an option for the ID.3 line in its Pro S iteration...as is the ability to "unlock" its motor upgrade from 150kW to 170kW - unless the buyer is in Germany, where the upgrade is standard.

The ID.3 Pro S is available to pre-order in Europe, at prices that might vary from country to country. However, all units available right now will have a 77kWh battery rated to get up to ~342 miles (559 kilometers) per charging session.

That aspect of its ownership might also improve thanks to a new DC charging rate that goes up to 175 kilowatts (kW), with the pre-conditioning that might address slowdowns in colder months.
