Volkswagen rounds out electric SUV lineup with faster ID.4, cheaper ID.5
The already confirmed ID.4 Pro and ID.5 GTX are being joined by the ID.4 GTX and ID.5 Pro. All vehicles are available to order now, ahead of customer deliveries taking place in July.
The ID.4 GTX rings up at $69,990 before on-road costs, or $10,000 more than the previously announced ID.4 Pro.
Likewise, the entry-level Pro version of the ID.5 'coupe' SUV has been priced at $62,990 before on-road costs, or $10,000 less than the ID.5 GTX.

Volkswagen says the ID.4 GTX complements the new petrol-powered Tiguan 195TSI R-Line, which produces 195kW of power and 400Nm of torque from its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder for a 5.9-second 0-100km/h time. It's priced at $70,490 before on-roads.
The ID.4 GTX produces up to 250kW (+40kW over the Pro) and sends its power through a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, accelerating from 0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds.
These figures are identical to the ID.5 GTX, which also produces 679Nm of torque.
Claimed WLTP driving range for the ID.4 GTX is 511km, down from 528km for the ID.5 GTX and 544km for the rear-wheel drive ID.4 Pro. ID.5 Pro Credit: CarExpert
The ID.5 Pro, meanwhile, receives the rear-wheel drive powertrain of the ID.4 Pro, producing 210kW of power and 545Nm of torque. Its claimed 0-100km/h time is 6.7 seconds, while it can supposedly travel 543km on a charge on the WLTP cycle.
All use a battery with a net capacity of 77kWh, which can be charged at up to 175kW using a DC fast charger.
Inside, the ID.4 GTX gets the same treatment as the ID.5 GTX, with sports seats with integrated head rests, featuring 'GTX' embossing, red accents, and red stitching.
There's also 'GTX' badging on the steering wheel, while a premium Harman Kardon sound system has been added as standard. 20-inch alloy wheels are also fitted for GTX models over the 19-inch alloys fitted to Pro versions.
The ID.5 Pro mirrors the equivalent ID.4, and still includes niceties like Matrix LED headlights, a panoramic glass roof, ArtVelours upholstery, tri-zone climate control, and a 12.9-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. ID.5 Pro Credit: CarExpert
Safety gear for both includes Volkswagen Travel Assist with adaptive cruise control and active lane assist, oncoming vehicle braking when turning, proactive occupant protection, and a surround-view camera. Both the ID.4 and ID.5 wear five-star ANCAP safety ratings.
The ID.4 and ID.5 range benefits from Volkswagen Group Australia's 'On EV' initiative, which includes an eight-year, 160,000 km battery warranty, free battery health checks, and 'simplified charging solutions' with Ampol AmpCharge.
Both models are also backed by Volkswagen's standard five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.

Trump's family business to build tower block in Romania
The Trump Organization - US President Donald Trump's family business - will team up with Romanian real estate developer SDC Imobiliare to build a tower block with luxury apartments in the capital, Bucharest. "Trump Tower Bucharest will be developed in the heart of Romania's capital, one of Europe's most vibrant and dynamic emerging markets, bringing premium residences under the Trump brand to the region," the companies said in a statement on Saturday. They did not specify the location or start date for work on the tower block, which is being branded as luxury residential apartments in Romania, the region's second-biggest economy. Romania's economy stalled in the first quarter amid a drawn-out political crisis and worries about a potential downturn, underperforming most of its peers in central and eastern Europe. Romania, a European Union and NATO member state, has found itself at the centre of a dispute between Europe and the Trump administration over democratic principles after the constitutional court in December cancelled an ongoing presidential vote due to suspicions of Russian meddling, denied by Moscow. US Vice President JD Vance has said Romania's decision to cancel the election - in which a far-right, pro-Russian candidate was the frontrunner - based on what he called "flimsy evidence" meant Bucharest did not share American values. The country re-ran its presidential ballot in May and centrist President Nicusor Dan won, with Trump later congratulating him on his victory.

Renault Boreal: Global version of Dacia Bigster revealed
The Dacia Bigster — the budget brand's largest SUV to date — has been given a glow up and transformed into the Renault Boreal for sale in Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Mediterranean basin. With Dacia largely confined to Europe, Renault has rebadged many models from its Romanian marque for sale in other markets, primarily Africa and Latin America. Typically this involves swapping Dacia badges for Renault ones, and maybe tweaking the grille. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Boreal goes a step further by having completely distinct exterior panels, except for maybe the roof. Up front, the simple lines of the Bigster have given way for a split headlight treatment integrated into an egg-crate grille. Along the sides the Boreal has smoother surfacing, and a vast section of chiselled faux brushed metal trim on the D-pillar. At the back, the Boreal ditches the Bigster's awkward arrowhead tail-lights for a set that wouldn't look out of place on a Skoda. Despite these changes, the Boreal is clearly very closely related to Bigster with the two sharing the same overall shape, as well as door apertures, and both feature hidden rear door handles. The Boreal is 4556mm long, 1841mm wide, 1650mm tall, and rides on a 2702mm wheelbase. Boot space with a rear seats up is rated at 522 litres. The differences continue on the inside, with the Bigster having its own unique dashboard design where the 10.0-inch instrumentation screen flows into the 10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. While the Bigster's interior makes a virtue of its assortment of hard, but durable plastic, the Boreal's dash has soft-touch material. The Renault also features more realistic-looking faux metal elements, leather-look seats with contrast stitching, and more generously padded armrests, at least up front. The Boreal will be made in Brazil for Latin American markets from late 2025, and in Turkey for the Middle East and Mediterranean basin some time in 2026. While the Bigster is available with a choice of mild-hybrid and hybrid drivetrains, as well as the option of all-wheel drive and a manual transmission, the Boreal will be available exclusively with a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine matched with six-speed dual-clutch automated transmission. For Boreals made in Turkey the engine develops 103kW and 240Nm, while Brazil-made models are available in petrol or FlexFuel derivatives, the latter of which can use almost any mixture of petrol and alcohol. Brazilian petrol models make 116kW, and FlexFuel variants develop 122kW and 270Nm. Available features include dual-zone climate control, a refrigerated centre bin, and a Harmon Kardon sound system. The infotainment system runs on the Android Automotive operating system with built-in Google Maps for navigation and Google Assistant voice recognition, and has access to the Google Play app store. Safety items include blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assistance, traffic sign recognition, autonomous emergency braking, safe exit monitoring, and drowsiness alerts. The Dacia Bigster (above) was launched at the end of 2024. Closely related to the third-generation Dacia Duster, both cars use the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's CMF-B LS platform. While the Duster has been sold as a Renault in many global markets since the first generation, it has only just landed in Australia No word yet on whether the Boreal will be sold in Australia, but so far it doesn't look like the car will be produced in right-hand drive.
