Deliveries to retail customers began in Germany in September 2020.

The production version of the ID.3 was unveiled on September 9, 2019, at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA), along with the new Volkswagen logo and branding. The cars are assembled at Volkswagen's Zwickau factory, where the company expects full plant capacity to produce electric cars based on the MEB platform for the Volkswagen Group from 2021 onwards. In 2021, an additional ID.3 production line was started at the Transparent Factory in Dresden. A facelift was released in March 2023 with a redesigned front bumper and air intakes, improved interior material quality, and launched in Australasia alongside other models in mid-2024. In April 2026, Volkswagen presented a substantially revised version of the ID.3 under the new name ID.3 Neo.
