Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of an electric car:- The ID.3 is VW's first full-production car on a bespoke electric platform.
- VW aims for mainstream success, wanting many to like and buy it.
- The design doesn’t wildly abandon the traditional hatchback look.
- The car has roughly the same footprint as a Golf.
- The front end is stubbier due to the lack of an engine.
- The interior has a futuristic, minimalist, open, and spacious feel.
- Every ID.3 has a digital driver pod and rotary dial gear selector.
- The driver display is connected to the steering column.
- Seats are comfortable, but lack side support when cornering.
- VW has gotten rid of most buttons, resulting in awkward slider climate control buttons.
- The software is not as slick as rivals, especially the Tesla Model 3; it is style over substance.
- VW's quality interiors have been downgraded.
- Leg room is very spacious in the front and rear.
- The car’s boot should match the Kia e-Niro for luggage space.
- There are three battery sizes available. The first edition comes with a 58kWh battery, a 201bhp motor, and a 261-mile range.
- The 0-62 mph acceleration is done in 7.3 seconds.
- It feels smooth on urban roads because the brakes and regenerative braking are well judged.
- Steering is accurate and weighted.
- The steering is accurate and reasonably weighted in the default comfort driving mode.
- It will twitch at the rear if you back off the accelerator abruptly mid-corner.
- A lighter regular hatchback is a more thrilling experience.
- The main criticism is the ride, which is choppy over pot holes and broken roads due to the stiff suspension.
- The ID.3 can take sales away from the Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf.
- The car is regarded as one of the better electric family cars to buy.
