The ID3, which was launched in Europe in September, was VW Group s most popular full-electric car last year with sales of 56,500.
FRANKFURT Volkswagen Group said higher sales of battery-powered and plug-in hybrid vehicles helped to offset plunging demand in its global markets in 2020 caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Global deliveries fell 15 percent to 9.3 million last year, VW said in a statement.
The figure includes sales of the VW, Audi, Porsche, Skoda and Seat brands, as well as its VW commercial vehicles, Scania and MAN heavy truck units.
