    The id3 is understated but very attractive imo - more so than say any recent Golf

    Thankyou for pointing this out - I think this is the best looking ID.3 and I love a hatchback; unfortunately I'm leaning towards the Cupra Born VZ or Cupra Born after my ID.3 Life - I'm ever so slightly grumpy after falling in to the phase when they limited the options on the ID.3 (though the spec of my ID.3 is still good with the reversing camera and parking), then a few months later the facelift arrived but somehow the Cupra interior manages to be nicer.

    Isn't an AWD Model 3 50k? So this is thousands more? Good luck VW.

      It SELLS. Like almost half as good as Model 3 ! And considering this one is the same price as the normal Pro S, it's gonna sell even better.

      Starting price for ID3 in Germany with VW bonus is 33k. So thousands less compared to cheapest Model 3. Kona with Hyundai bonus also around 34k. Cheapest Volvo EX30 is 35k. So this is competitive in german market.

      @@binflydushy don’t get me wrong, I really don’t like Elon, and I probably wouldn’t buy a Model 3 because of the “no stalks” design approach but many people love Tesla and it seems to be the go to EV. I’m surprised the new design isn’t selling well if that’s true. I test drove one and at least the build quality and ride are much improved.

    Competitors offer faster AWD cars at cheaper price. Tesla, Volvo, etc. Also ID.2 is coming soon and it has bigger trunk, folding front seat for long cargo (2m IKEA boxes) and towing pick. If 450km range battery ID.2 costs 30keur, VW is going to have hard time selling these 50keur+ ID.3 models. It has more tech toys, but no AWD and many compromises.

    • @sebbbi2
      @sebbbi2 Před 3 měsíci

      How do VW intend to differentiate ID.2 and ID.3? ID.3 has slightly more legroom, but smaller trunk and less room for long cargo (no folding front seat). And ID.2 has a towing pick too, so it is better for hauling. ID.3 is sacrificing a lot of trunk space for rear motor and rear axle. This sacrifice would make sense for AWD design. RWD is not a big selling point over FWD, especially with VWs overly eager traction control that you can’t disable. ID3.X prototype had front motor too, there’s space for that in the chassis which is still unused. It’s a big missed opportunity.
      600km range is of course better than 450km. It’s nice to have a 600km car in this size class. But you will be paying ~20keur extra for that over big battery ID.2.
      New ID.3 Life and Pro are dead on arrival if ID.2 450km battery version sells for 30keur. You don’t get much with that extra 10keur. If ID.2 hits the promised 450km range, then it beats those ID.3 models in range too.
      Interesting to see how this pans out. ID.3 hasn’t been a top seller lately. I would have expected more competitive pricing as there’s faster AWD rivals now and ID.2 coming next year with much more competitive price. AWD would have been a way to differentiate. Now there’s not much point in ID.3 anymore. Except 600km range, which is nice.

      I bought a ID4 4motion 2024 with all the options he selected and it cost me 50k so yeah ALL the GTX models don't make sense. ID4 GTX is 70k... that is 20k more for what? 0.5 seconds faster on the 0-100km/h? That red trim on the seats? Yeahhhhhhhhh ok.... next.

      It's not about straight line speed once you are at 60 under 6 seconds . It’s about handling.

    • @mariosprah6643
      @mariosprah6643 Před 3 měsíci

      @Chris_1024_ 42 cents/km is only possible if you charge at home during night. If you use fast chargers cost is 82-88 cents per kW and with average consumption for tipical EV (aprox 20-25kW/100km) it is around 2 times more expensive to travel with EV. A lot of people can't charge at home, don't forget this fact. But this is another topic. In my opinion, if EV should be mass accepted, prices must be aprox 25-30000€ for a Golf sized EV with 300-350 km of real range and with 0.5-0.6€/kW on fastcharge.
