Of the three reviews of the VZ on CZcams, yours is the only one to correctly state that the car is RWD

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Is it true the Tavascan is more sporty because the Born cuts the power too early (if it detects unsafe driving)?

[@JohnPadgett]

So good, you almost threw up 🤢 impressive!

[@Roll_the_Bones]

Since you're focusing on performance, the comparison is still only with the basic Tesla M3 RWD. Which is quite a bit less costly to buy. Given the option between MEB or Tesla, at this point, I'd take the MEB vehicle, at the same price, assuming matching performance. Sadly, for the spend required on the Born VZ, plus the required extra heat pump, we've reached the price level of the TM3LR, which is a full level higher than the VZ. If the purchase price would be brought down a bit, so it was a viable choice over the M3 RWD, for not too much extra cost, then the VZ could out-sell Tesla, I'm sure of it.

It's a shame, cheaper than most other hatchbacks, but still priced higher than a Tesla, they need to wake up to the fact that some of us don't want a huge car, but feel forced to get one because Tesla is priced more reasonably, plus it grants you access to their chargers, which is something that needs to be factored in too, all the "old brands" are pricing themselves out of consideration.

MY25, new screen size with illuminated indication, and the drive selector moved to windscreen wash stalk

[@bryanduncan6178]

How have Cupra been allowed to launch this before VW launch the ID.3 GTX?!
You'd think that VW would want to get their version out first?!

[@teunlll]

Cupra is vw

[@tommyjakobsen5504]

you need to drive the MG4 Xpower.. you will have more power and enjoy that. you will scrap that Wanabee beetle (ID3)

[@RB-lt8kt]

Like all electric cars it will drop off a cliff in value.
