A Nostalgic Yet Modern Design

The ID.3 GTX Fire & Ice reimagines the cult classic Golf Mk2 Fire and Ice for the electric era. Its ultra-violet metallic paint, developed specifically for this model, mirrors the vibrant hue of its predecessor. The geometric F+I pattern on the C-pillar and 20-inch Locarno alloy wheels with a diamond-turned finish add a sporty flair. Red roof strips, tinted LED tail lights, and GTX lettering on the tailgate enhance its bold exterior. Unique puddle lights—depicting fire on the passenger side and ice on the driver’s side—along with the retro Fire & Ice logo on the roof spoiler, nod to its heritage.

Inside, the Flame red and Floxal blue color scheme continues the hot-and-cold theme. The sports seats, inspired by BOGNER’s FIRE+ICE collections, feature quilted designs resembling down jackets, complete with the FIRE+ICE logo. Custom stitching and logos adorn the steering wheel, instrument panel, door trims, and floor mats, creating a cohesive and luxurious interior.
