Uploaded 3 years ago by Bjørn Nyland

Video Summary

- The ID.5 is more aerodynamic and efficient than the ID.4.
- The car has two PTC units, a good range, and good traction as an all-wheel drive.
- The suspension offers a customizable level of ride comfort.
- Its peak charging power hits 175 kW initially.

- The interior has good design and space for passengers.
- The steering wheel's haptic feedback buttons are clumsy and can cause misclicks.
- The lack of the battery percentage is a con. The display shows kilometers per minute for charging speed.

- The adaptive headlights, turning functionality, quiet ride, and large interior for a smaller car are positives.
- Due to its efficient all-wheel drive platform, its electricity consumption compares to Tesla's Model Y.
