Volkswagen is practically entering the electric vehicle arena this year with their recently introduced new electric car, the ID.3 — yes the hatchback you see in weird wavy camouflage in the above and below photos released by the German automotive giant.

VW ID.3 will be officially launched in all its glory at the 2019 IAA auto show in September — but for the first time, Volkswagen Group started taking pre-orders for a €1,000 fee through their online pre-booking website — only available in select 29 European countries as of now including Norway, Netherlands, Germany, France, the UK, and Austria.

According to Volkswagen, they have received more than 15,000 pre-orders for the ID.3 electric hatchback which is the more expensive version of the car they have named ‘ID.3 1st Edition’ — starting price of the ID.3 1st is just under €40,000, the cheaper less than €30,000 variants will be launched later this year.

Volkswagen aims to produce only 30,000 ID.3 1st limited edition EVs with exclusive features like a full panoramic glass roof, larger wheel rims, bi-colored exterior, etc.
