This car is fun to drive, packed with the latest technology and can be controlled from your phone. It is good for the environment and is great value so be sure to watch this review all the way through and smash the like button if you enjoyed it and subscribe for more!
I was told that the car will charge with Tesla superchargers however it appears that this feature may no longer be available due to the way Tesla authenticates the cars when plugged in. The car can of course be charged on the other rapid and standard chargers.

What do you think of the VW ID.3? Let me know
FULL INFOTAINMENT GUIDE: ruclips.net/video/HLKrc8qoEFc/видео.html
I like it - it’s definitely growing on me 👍
It was lots of fun to drive and very different to the Polestar 2 and Tesla Model 3.
@@TechInTheCar How does it compare? Funnily enough I’m also considering the Polestar. I don’t like the build quality of the Tesla.
They are different cars. The Polestar 2 is a larger heavier car and I love the fact it runs on Android; the ID.3 is smaller and lighter and costs a lot less. The Polestar doesn’t feel as fun to drive but it feels quality like a Volvo; the ID.3 feels more sporty. I would say the answer for me would come down to how much you want to spend on the car.
My wife has an ID.3. Overall it's a very nice car. Software is still buggy and there's a little too much cheap-looking plastic inside, but overall the car is likable. It drives well, is very well built (it's not a Tesla !), is quiet and refined, has decent tech, and with current deals it's not too expensive. I'm a fan!
Great review😊
Thank you! 🤗
I like how the green light going across the dash tops up as a battery indicator while charging.
It looks cool I agree!
Test drove an Id 4 and was almost tempted......the ID 3 was next. A delight to drive. I get mine in a few days time.
Let me know how you find it! it is a great car.
@@TechInTheCar Looking forward to Tuesday.
I would be too. It is always exciting to get a car specially something like the id.3!
Life pro here! nice car!
Thanks! Right on!
Cool!
Thanks!
What tipped me away from an ID3: The fact that every single morning that I sit in, I would need to dig through menus to disable the lane assist. Tested on my rural roads and its more trouble than its worth.
Lane assist is a feature you have to get used to and you can adjust the sensitivity in the settings. I personally use it all the time as it adds extra safety but on rural roads with no lanes I imagine it might get confused and try moving you in the wrong direction
Great video thanks, I'm looking at getting the Business Pro Performance model, is it possible to remotely heat the car from the app for example?
Yes, absolutely - I wasn't able to demo it myself but it is a function of the app.
Hi, I just bought the car actually the exact same model as yours but i was just wondering what app are you talking about?
It make happy moment for me
I agree it is a super fun car to drive!
Can you compare an id3 with a Golf when it looks to be at least as big as a Passat then if not bigger especially on the outside
Jetta year model 2022 looks to have more luxurious Interior with higher quality. with for example wood panel
A large battery weighs more than a small battery, so a customer should have the opportunity to choose a version with more horsepower and more powerful torque. in addition, the iD3 does not weigh a bit either. And 10 years ago you could buy a new Volkswagen diesel with 240 horses
A large battery weighs more than a small battery, so a customer should have the opportunity to choose a version with more horsepower and more powerful torque. . You know horsepower in relation to weight
How did you you get the home button to on the r/h side of the infotainment system? On my ID3 it’s on the left which can be a bit of a stretch for r/h drive cars.
I had this question before - it was like that already. There isn’t a setting to move it either. I would assume this is a software update issue and it may be that your car will get an update to this but I can’t be sure. What is the version number of your car software?
@@TechInTheCar Thanks. Looks like it might come with big software update.
@@TechInTheCar The software is mu ID3 is V0570 and the display unit control panel software is V3078. I guess yours must be a later which moves the home button to the R/H side for R/H drive cars. I would be interested to know what your version is.
This is what I had on the car when I made the video:
Hardware: H20
Software: 0783
Display Unit Hardware: H41
Display Unit Software: 3078
The software appears to be the same; check the other version numbers I mentioned but if they are the same then I might suggest contacting your VW dealer.
@@TechInTheCar I think your software 0783 is the difference, I think that is the temporary update that has been installed before the big software update that will be applied to all ID3’s sometime in Jan/Feb this year. I hope that my when my car is updated the infotainment home button will change to the R/H side. Thanks for your help. Keep up the good work!
But both Golf GTI .Golf GTE and Golf R have more horsepower the question is whether golf E-golf had better acceleration as well
It won’t work with a Tesla rapid charger because it isn’t a Tesla. Under the front bonnet isn’t a frunk. The 1st in the UK is a 1st Plus and doesn’t have wireless phone charging. The smaller battery on sale later this year is 45kWh usable, not 48kWh.
Thanks for the corrections! I did mention in response to other comments that there was no frunk. As far as Tesla charging goes - it did work because Tesla didn't authenticate initially what was connected but they shut that down but let's hope maybe that will change in the future. Unfortunately I have no way of updating the video after I have published it or I would as I hate mistakes!
On the infotainment screen it shows 158 miles at 79%, so is the range for this car 200 miles. I mean if it was 80% that would be about 164 miles and do the math. I'm asking since this is the First Edition it seems would be the higher range. Over all, I want to know about the range, the real range of the ID.3 both options I believe one is 200 miles and the other is around 260.
The range of the first edition is meant to be 260 miles WLTP range, however we know that these ranges (just like the fuel economy numbers) are typically not quite accurate.
I didn’t drive the car for long enough to be able to comment on it’s true range and the truth is I would have had to drive it for around 2-3 weeks to even get down to needing to charge again.
In reality range is determined by how you drive, where you drive and the weather. If it is colder where you live the range is less. I would say 200 miles range when it is cold is a good estimate of real world use. If it was warmer then it would be closer to the 260. I hope that helps!
You said it will work with Tesla rapid chargers - it won't. You also said it has a Frunk - wrong on that one too - there's just a jumble of gubbins under the bonnet, no storage at all.
You are correct. Two things I got wrong. The frunk doesn’t exist as you said. As for Tesla chargers it DID work but it stopped working. However this was I believe an error at Teslas end and not a feature. The dealer told me it worked with Tesla chargers.
I do try to edit out things like this but sometimes it just isn’t possible to do that. But your absolutely right.
However this doesn’t change the fact that the car is great and fun and that you can still do rapid charging on the other chargers.
Yep you were quite correct - Tesla screwed up and for a time ALL electric cars could charge at their superchargers. There were humorous videos posted showing the free for all that many took full advantage of while it lasted.
Elon did say they were willing to open up the Tesla superchargers and clearly they are compatible so hopefully this will happen eventually! Unfortunately there are no superchargers near me or I would have tried it myself.
@@TechInTheCar Yes, Elon sort of said that, but I'm sure if there was a deal done with any of the other manufacturers it would be big news.
I hope that it does happen as it would create competition with charging points as well. The reason Tesla chargers are considered to be the best is along was the speed and how many of them that are around the country; is also that they always work and reliable.
We have an ID.3 Business and a Mini electric. Whilst I agree in the main with your comments on the ID.3 when it comes to choosing what car to drive, my wife, daughter and myself will jump into the Mini electric first - now that is a fun car and is entitled to wear the Cooper S badging. We live in a rural area with a 10 mile drive on "B" roads to the nearest town, and the Mini comes into its own on those roads. However the ID.3 is mighty impressive with its quality, features tech and drivability and will improve with over the air updates and the dog likes the view from the back.
Thank you for your thoughts. I really appreciate it and I welcome that insight. I haven’t driven the Mini electric yet so I can’t compare them but I hope that I will be able to drive it too. I imagine that the tech side is different as you said as they are a different generation in electric cars with the ID.3 being purpose built as an electric car. It will be interesting to see what Mini do next as far as electric is concerned! and as a dog owner myself I’m glad your dog likes the view!
@@TechInTheCar we bought the Mini electric based upon the retro style and proven power train from the BMW i3, it has excelled and It’s been faultless over the past 9 months.
Sounds great! I will see if I can get one to drive and make a video when lockdown finishes...
Test driving this tomorrow. One thing I completely disagree with is that you feel this looks better than a golf. Imo - I completely disagree. I personally hate the rounded front. The golf has more of a straight linear design to it as opposed to this. But I'm a straight line guy. I current have a 2020 polo which is very linear. I also love the hyundai ioniq 5 - looks dangerous.
Everyone has different tastes that is why there are different car designs. I am not a huge fan of the look of the new Golf; but what isn't in doubt is that both are good cars and I am sure you will enjoy the ID.3!
you must be the only person not to like one foot driving, lots of reviewers like the one foot driving like in the Bmw i3
One foot driving is a change that you get used to and just like every car the more you drive it the better it gets.
How does it compare to other electric cars like a tesla
As it is rear wheel drive it’s a lot more fun to drive.
@@TechInTheCar but does it have "games"
No - there are no games or extra fun apps. Only the Tesla cars have those right now.
My old sport car slk200 193hp was so slow compare to my id3, i think id3 is real sport car.
It is fast and really pushes you from behind being rear wheel drive!
theres no "frunk"
I misspoke; you are indeed correct. There is no space under there at all but there is plenty of space in rear.
@@TechInTheCar sounds like a Boris Johnsonism...
It will not charge at Tesla Superchargers
You are right! and I have replied to this several times here in the comments.
It did work at the Superchargers because Tesla didn't have any way of telling the difference between a Tesla and any other type of car. Tesla realised this and fixed it and now it won't work.
You can’t charge at Tesla chargers
I added a comment on this is the description. I was told it works with them however after doing research into this it appears that it did work for a while but no longer works now. But I wouldn’t let this put me off. If there is a Tesla charger there is going to be other chargers you can use with this car as well in most cases. And the built in maps show charger locations as well.
I have to disagree on a couple of points here. I have one of these cars and I find the quality of the interior is very low rent as other people have pointed out too. Also, this car in no way looks cool. I would say it is very bland.
Design is down to personal choice. I would say that the new CUPRA Born looks better and has a better interior and is based on the same platform now - check out my videos on it! Thanks for the feedback!
