My wife actually ruled out the Born due to the loud blinker sound. However the dealer claims that on cars produced from week 3 2022 the sound scheme will be changed to the same volume level as in the ID3. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the video!
Would be great news, if Cupra can change this.
Kinda strange that it's not adjustable. Our Renault Zoe 2020 model has the option to adjust the volume in 3 different levels.
@@tkskater1 its probably possible to change with vags own software. On my old car I could enable features with VAG-COM that the car officially does not have, but are just disabled in software. Like the meters on the dashboards moves up to full and back when you start (like on Lamborghinis :D
For cars made before 2022, will it be possible this is fixed during an update or those people are stuck with ridiculous loud blinker?
@@4lpina Not sure. One dealer mentioned that they will be able to update their demo cars. But I would like to see it before I believe it :) I'll soon be calling them again as it should be released around now.
For me the lack of matrix lights is the main reason not to like the el born. Better number but fixed leds not good , also I wish vw group would stop using these haptictouch buttons , a proper button or switch or dual will always be superior
In think we wil also buy one. I'm 95% convinced already. Waiting for a test drive to be sure
I'm glad you also have to press the rear electric windows button at least twice to get it to work on the Cupra Born, too :)
Yup, there should be an option to disable this button all together. When do I need to operate the back windows?
Basically, I think it's good that the VW Group has implemented a different design language with the Cupra, which appeals to new buyers. When it comes to the interior, I have the impression that design students were at work here. Fundamental comfort requirements were not considered there.
1:57 This is a good feature and among the other things that go on on that screen it is not really a distractor imho.
I’m so looking forward to the Born being released here in Australia later this year. I was hoping to buy an ID.3 here but it looks like the ID.3 won’t happen here until 2023 at least. Perhaps it’s VW Australia’s way of testing the water. Either way, I much prefer the look of the Born. Cupra already has a number of Borns here for testing. I can’t wait to drive one.
I checked Born in UK model this week. I was able to reduce the bongs with volume control in setting. May be software update!
With the sounds i´m total with you. Way to loud. With the Buttons that is (for me) not a problem.
would also botter me. Don't understand why they have spared the 2 buttons for the rear windows.
@@SwissOliver Be glad they gave you the second button for free! 😜
@@abraxastulammo9940 ha ha ha
Thanks for the video
My dad would have bought it purely for the loud blinker sound if he were still alive.
Oh no the middle consoll goes all the way?
Darn it, now i cant fit my legs and knees, thats the best with the ID3, so muuuuch leg room on the play button side.
TAhanks Chris,, 👍😎👍!
I drive my car 90% in daylight so the lights are a secondary consideration. I'm all for loud indicators....I often forget to cancel them...LOL Born interior v ID3....Born wins hands down...no piano black plastic
The rear kamera is protected behind the VW Logo. Much better than a kamera above the licence plat, which gets weet and dirty
But do you know how often I've cursed that thing when I wanted to open the trunk and it wouldn't let me?
I like the white car in the back.
I hope, this will be your next car? 😊
The sound when you click on the rear "windows" and stuff, you can turn that off complety in the system :) like on my Cupra Leon.
No, you cannot. Different software ln meb platform.
I also HATED the sound feedback from the controls one the car I test drove, but luckily you can turn it off. The haptic buttons are garbage in the ID as they are in the Cupra. Bring back normal buttons!
Perfect. No sliding!
Looks like the new ID3 have had an updated interior, more quality, but price has increased?. Thanks for your hard work 👍
Maybe you have told this, but does the touch buttons (steering wheel / infotainment-heating etc) work with gloves in winter?
I never did.
@@BatteryLife do buttons work with gloves work on your ID3?
I have always freezing hands and usually wear gloves from autumn till spring... :D
do you know what that color is called?, it looks amazing
Aurora blue
Does the born drive any different to the ID3 ?
I did not feel any difference.
Unfortunaly, the VWs are much more expansive than Seat / Cupra.
The only think where VW provides more is the quicker deployment of SW updates
That's a surprise, the Seat looks a little more premium than the VW
@@GaryJohnWalker1 Yeah, in my country VW is much more expansive.
Here the Cupra costs more
@@SwissOliver id.3 43k or 47k. cupra 43k or 48k. Are you comparing same spec cars ?
In Switzerland the ID3 is much more expensive than the Cupra. 58kWh full spec: ID3 52k, Born 45k
So it's better than the ID3 in a load of important ways and worse than the ID3 in some insignificant ways? What about the lower suspension set up? Firmer etc...
Did not feel any different in driving.
@@BatteryLife interesting. Other reviews saying it’s sportier, less body roll. I guess it’s only 10-15mm different.
Why nobody says to me how the rainbow colours can change by himself? like at home LED Band
I saw another video where you prefer your ID.3 to a BMW i3s as well. Makes you think - is it a real objective review or a very biased one?
And there are 2 other videos where I prefer the Id.3! It is just my opinion, does not have to be yours.
Id.3 fits my needs.
Born has a few advantages but the loud blinker sound is a "no" go for me.
If they fix that, it is a tie. Born looks better though!
My personel opinion: I don´t like aggressive designs. Exspecially whren the car goes only 160 or 170.
Roof in car colour ist fine.
Bigger screen for the infitainment ist fine.
Armrest not related to the seats - bullsh.t. My legs are not very long, so with that kind of armrest, I don´t have any armrest.
Buttons for the lights closer to the driver - fine.
Conclusion: I´m OK with my ID.3.
It looks way better than the ID3.
Das sind ja mal richtig kleine Probleme …
2.5 YRS OF COVID AND YOUR WORRIED ABOUT THE BLINKER NOISE -- Right !!!!!!
There are other topics like covid...
I like the BMW i3s better !
@@sebastianaaltonen1995 You can't get the range extender anymore in Europe. And it's only charging with 50kW which is outdated in my opinion.
Small things, cupra is a way nicer car!!
The car looks cool but overall VW tech does not impress me. This week I tested Volvo XC40 4x4, 300kW. This is the only other car (except for Tesla) where when I get out of the car, I did not have to ask whether I want it or not. It's a joy to drive it. But weight/aerodynamics/efficiency/range is disappointing. If Megane e-tech will not have a good efficiency, I will not test any other car and go for my favorite, Tesla 3. Hope German lobbyist will finally surrender and Tesla will be allowed to start production here.
Will Berlin produce the Model 3 in 2022 though or just the Model Y?
@@evboy4287 Unfortunately, it will start with just Y. Most probably no M3 in 2022. But I want to wait for first review of a car with 4680s (most probably first one will be from Austin) and see if it is a revolution or just an evolution. In the first case I will buy M3 with 4680 from whatever location. If reviews of Y from Berlin will be exceptionally good, I can imagine to go for that even though I don't need SUV.
So your argument is the sound? You can disable it. Useless
No you couldn't in 2.3 software. It is a system sound. Volume adjust did not affect it.
I don't know how it is in 3.0
So almost everything you dont like is software related and can be finxed. So why would you prefer then your ID3 ? hahahaha
If they fix we'll talk again ;)
I thought the same, very strange
