I'm waiting for the facelift/next version with physical buttons.
They’re really not that hard to use. I know he goes on about them in every video but I got the hang of it very quickly
I think you’re gonna wait long and hard 😂😂
@@gabriellundmarkyou are effectively saying that touch typing on a projector keyboard is fine, instead of advocating for physical keys. Just becuase you've learnt how to not get annoyed at it, doesn't mean it isn't still unacceptable
@@gabriellundmark I've had my id3, 2.5 years, it's absolute shit interior, infotainment etc, give me manual climate any day with big knobs.
There's a reason VW sales are down 20% , people who want tesla like shit interior buy tesla, people who buy VW don't expect such a radical change of interior and a shit interface, they expect buttons, knobs etc, they expect proper ergonomic sensible German interior, instead they get a big tablet and digital instrument cluster.
Anyway, I am leaving VW trying to get rid of this piece of shit id3 but surprise surprise, no one wants it as trade in ! I'm going back to manual petrol !
Thomas you are such a hard-working man! A lot of videos in a really short time and all of them are great!
thanks so much !!
Lets all applause and appreciate Thomas for his perfect reviews, very good insights and etc. Real auto enthusiast :)
highly appreciated !!
@@autogefuehl P.S. I am also button/oldstyle maniac. You are not alone 😁👍

The ID3 is brilliant, on my second one now, perhaps the GTX will be my third :)
Why get two of the same model? And it's so expensive anyways, I'm not a Tesla fan but the standard ID.3 being so close to a Tesla model 3 with half the performance and smaller car and range is not ok.
Ive been driving one every 2nd day as part of car sharing in Germany. Its nothing close to brilliant. It's average at best. No wonder it flopped in China
I agree. Great car.
I drove one for 8 months and 20k , loved it 204 hp / rwd / good range. Hope to spend Some time with the gtx when its out
I actually like this ID.3 GTX. I'm a Golf GTI fanatic, so I guess it's not too surprising that I'd like seeing the GTI formula applied to the ID.3. I like the idea of a performance tuned compact hatch with rwd and ample power. With the SSP Mk9 electric Golf GTI going back to front wheel drive, this is likely to be the only Golf sized rwd hot hatch from VW ever. Thanks, Thomas, for another informative and in-depth review. Can't wait for the driving video.
Everytime I see it, I see a VW Up in the front
yes, size are close to VW UP and price are much closer to C class mercedes
@@Mr11ESSE111It's much much bigger than an up. It's close to a golf in size.
its around Polo or Fabia ,Corsa and similar but you can get Fabia for around 15000 euro and it will keep pretty fine value for 10 years too while any EV for 10 years will be basically worthless @@zondaboy6493
ugh. Here in the U.S. all I can do is watch in sadness until the GTiD arrives. That's what I believe it should be called :)
What's the D ? 🍆
Attention Volkswagen: Bring this to North America!!
No no no, America. You only get the god awful ugly econobox crossovers.
They are getting round to fixing all the flaws with the ID3. It is exactly the form factor I would like to get. I was disappointed when saw the cheap interior at launch. It is starting to get there. Here in Malta the price will probably remain ridiculously high.
The fact that it is rwd instead of awd is pretty sweet.
I disagree. AWD is better.
Maybe when the R version arrives... :-)
for granddads yes
True! Saves a lot of weight.
@@N1ckZAWD increases weight and cost. Therefore go for the RWD.
This looks pretty good actually (surprisingly), but still would go for the Golf GTI!
It still doesn't look as sporty as a Cupra Born.
Yeh seat killed the styling for sure
I think that is on purpose. Cupra is, I think, for younger people or who prefer a more agressive look. VW on the other hand more toned down/conservative.
The Cupra looks like a gaudy gaming car - no thanks.
Depends on your personal taste….😊
The cupra brand seems to have been marketed to give transportation to nolife geeks.
Thomas, if you could FedEx one to the USA, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for the review!
Hello from California. Great content as usual.
My brother owns an ID.3 he got before Tesla started cutting prices. It's a pretty neat car. A lot of the so called software issues either are well in the past or were overblown to begin with. But today the value just isn't there. You have to severely dislike Tesla's form factors or the MG4 to contemplate one.
Yes, it's a very good and reliable car.
Wish this would come to the US...
The front could be more aggressive. But the interior is cool.
Another great and detailed video. Cheers.
Thomas, super erwähnst Du das mit dem 5. Plätzen. Ist aus meiner Sicht ein riesen pluspunkt beim GTX
Amazing vídeo, Thomas. :-)
A little more time and I really believe that the R version's turn will also come.
Being electric, who knows and it will be called 'Re'... :-)
Good new styling imo. Great review too.
Why can they replace the rear axle, but they can't replace the buttons on the steering wheel? They even have a suitable steering wheel with physical buttons available, the one used on Skoda Enyaq.
Just be grateful it actually has some
Buttons!
I like that you are adding the phrase "DC peak" when mentioning an EVs DC charging rate
The original iD3 was as exciting as a refrigerator. This one is as exciting as a red refrigerator
Finally, I think I found the car that will make me switch to an EV.
Gloss black as the door handle is really not a good idea.
Other than that, I really like it.
I personally like capacitive buttons.
Anyway, I’d buy it for sure if they brought to the US.
I'm sure there's one or two more of you. After all, the guy that came up with the idea and the one that approved it are on that list. But the vast majority find them insufferable.
I would like a volume knob but the touchpads on the steering wheel are great
Love it. Excellent review👍
The vertical lights in the lower front bumper give the car a smart aleck smirk.
Thanks for thr review. Its exciting to keep seeing the new ev cars that are coming out so thank you .
I wish it had a more golf like interior myself. And they’re starting to get the idea with buttons. Slowly.
I like this car, it has the look of a petrol GTI, i'm very tempted.
I think VW has learnt a lot from the disappointment of the ID3 (to be fair they aren't bad just very medium). The efficiency improvements and slowly making interior changes that are needed. Still sad to see they aren't in place yet. I heard that the Cupra Born Vz will have regen paddles.
Looks nice, but does the software really work - especially with the remote apps on phones? VW has struggled with their connectivity and (lack of) over the air updates for the last couple of years, I would like to think that they have finally sorted out all of the bugs and gremlins as their customer service has been exceptionally poor in responding to customer's issues.
Looks awesome! 😍
LOVE ID
Will the non-GTX versions also get the new infotainment HW and SW at some point?
yes ... this is kind of a "2nd facelift" for all ID.3s , this time changes on the Battery/powertrain/Interior ...
Would buy if in USA! Have the Chattanooga ID4, Pro. VW would sell many of these GTXs here?
I’d drive one if I could 🇺🇸🫣 another great video 😊
Nice update, but quite shocked they didn’t also focus on improving cold weather and high-speed efficiency! It’s the most important thing in EVs
Great review.
VW have so nearly got this right. From the outside it looks wonderful. The interior works at a practical level for space and seating. It is a shame VW have not yet completed their transition back to a good UI/UX and I wish they do away with the iPad on the dashboard and do something more integrated with the dashboard as say BMW does. The car should go well. This is the size and style of car I like, but I will have to wait for the next generation or maybe just facelift inside. VW really do need to watch out for the various Geely sub brands in this sector.
Is the performance version also RWD?
If people like him would have something to say, we all would still run around with 10 buttons on our phones.
I love the sliders.
Looks pretty good actually, minus the steering wheel buttons.
"Tell me something about Mallorca" - Thomas being his most German self :))
The Harman Kardon sound systems currently installed in VW vehicles either need significant improvement or should be replaced entirely. Personally, I find them lacking. Reintroducing the Fender or Dynaudio systems would be a welcomed improvement, as both were superior options.

The Scrolling rear indicators should also be on the front
Did I see, there were no air-conditioning vents for the rear passengers?
I LOVE this color!
Nice BUT will we here in North America? Some of us still like sport cars and of a reasonable size.
Send one to Seattle in 'Off Road Grey' color, and I will buy it!!! ❤❤❤
Third time's the charm. This looks like a great car!
I have an id3 tech but much as these things are nice the way vw has failed so badly with software and updates means there’s no way I’m upgrading to another id vw :(
Regardless of the ice v ev debate
I think it looks fantastic in the red/ blck combo.😊
Its the most popular color combination tend right now. All the auto manufactures have it. From Toyota Corolla to the Ferrari Purosangue.
It's beautiful!
It takes some parts from the Cupra Born, seats and bonnet etc. I thought the larger battery packs removed the 5th seat due to weight limit of the chassis and this was for he pano roof as well ? Good to hear haptic buttons will be removed. Will the newer battery pack fit the older cars or can it be fitted to the older 58 kwh cars ?
yes as I said, they worked on the rear axle, re-check the first couple of minutes of the video about the details
no retrofitting
@@autogefuehl Oh OK so is the battery completely different ?
Not completely but they wont exchange it
I really don’t like that they place your towbar at the buttom of the trunk. They should make space available for it in the frunk.
You’ll always need that stuff when the trunk is full.
Its a bike rack mount, not a tow bar.
@@krane15 totally irrelevant but I ment the towbar to be towed. However, yes the bikerack mounting pin should also be there.
Ps: I bet the bikerack mounting pin has the exact same productnumber as an actual towbar.
This should be the standard trim exterior. Just like an iPhone or Tesla they have all versions which have a similar exterior. By creating a lower trim version which looks cheaper you damage the brand and the entire range.
Why is the ID.3 not sold in the US?
One word: market. Same for the Touareg
Is there a glovebox in this car?
I think the main problem that remains with this car is the price. Its estimated price in Germany is just over €50k which is outrageous for a car this size. The user interface is mostly an annoyance, but it doesn't help in the context of price. If it dropped to €40k, that would still be high but getting there. The larger battery and the more efficient electric motor brought WLTP estimate to 600 km, which is excellent for a car of this size (400-450 km is common for the segment as of now) and the main way this car stands out, as of currently. The strengthened rear axle is the single most important update in my opinion due to the bike rack + 5 seats and it massively improves the value proposition and prospective customer base.
I think it's nearly inevitable though that the whole ID.3 range, including this trim, will get significant price cuts in the future beyond existing rebates. The Kia EV3 has the same range, more practicality, better UX and ability to tow while also going to be much cheaper, which will significantly limit the competitiveness of this car.
I love how this car looks! It looks like Golf of the future! very nice car!
I know. And people are saying it looks so ugly. Well it looks just like a Golf.
Love this id3 GTX
This looks like what I expected Toyota to do with their updated Prius.
Just make it lighter (forget the heavy panoramic roof) or the Cupra Born kicks its arse as quality and the Tesla 3 2024 in all aspects but the lack of HUD.
Je préfère attendre sa cousine, la nouvelle Cupra Born VZ de 325ch qui devrait arriver cet été 😍😍
300 hp rwd hot hatch might be a fun drifter in the winter!
They will never let you switch off ESP 😂 We have 2024. Fun is not allowed anymore.
You cant turn of ESP in ID cars which means no drifting.
Wonder why they don't have the gtx badge on the front like GTi usually has
I frankly love VW's subtle use of badging. Mercedes slather it name/logo on ever surface. U.S. manufacturer like Cadillac is even worse
I want buy the bumper , please give me link
Just cannot wait for the future when cars will have actual physical buttons! Hope they are released in my time! 😁
its like the honda jazz had a baby with the golf
ewww
That is surprisingly accurate 😂
Real buttons on the steering wheel are honestly not better at all. You have genuinely helped to force a backwards step
Not even if you gave it away for free!
Bring back the awesome music 🎶 from the VR6!!!!
FJB
Nice car
Really waiting for the new Cupra Born Vz variant of this platform. Prefer the that styling over the top of this one.
wireless charging or #bscharging
So the lights and wipers are all on the same stalk now?
Yes
One day I hope to experience Thomas' full length
Why not sell it in Canada?
They better call it the "GTX-line". Please don't call it an Performance EV when there al a lot of EV's much faster and NOT pretending to be an perfomance model. I like the styling tho.
Glove box Sir?
Is it going to be cheaper than a model 3 rwd?
I wouldn’t give far right extremist Musk my money. Thanks.
Penso que está tudo à espera de uma versão de base, barata sem metade da tecnologia, com preços ate 20 000 euros.
The standard car should have that face but mesh body color'd and same daylight running lights cause it looks frumpy.
Finally ❤💯
Price......?
If VW would fit it with a real towing hook for trailer and a proper arm rest in the front and I’ll be trading in my Tesla
Full length. Full width. Full frame rate.
Its a Cupra born in VW colours!
tbh 0-100 in 5.6 for top of the range performance version is not something to be proud of in 2024 EV
They are for sure proud about the entire car not the stubid discussion about, who ist the fastest.
VW holds the record for electric and all Cars including ICEs to pikes Peak and could add more Power if they are really planning it.
This acceleration is similiar to entry 911s some years ago, which tells how idiotic this discussion is.
@@josefv8708Well that's the issue with this ID3. Even as a whole package it is not something extraordinary. Especially in the EV segment when you consider the pricing of the ID3.
I'm really afraid that prices for these sporty versions will be ridiculous. (and the sales figures already showed that it is not so successful model so far)
Therefore I would expect at leaast something more special from this performance oriented variant if it can't compete on the other fronts.
However I do agree with you about this ridiculousness of the acceleration numbers and I totally dig vehicles such as Toyota GR86.
I even own the vehicle from VW group, so I watch them closely. However I do have an impression that they are really struggling with their EV lineup identity and on some fronts they are years behind (such as laggy infotainment and terrible UX). Hopefully they will catch up soon, so they don't became obsolete in the next decade.
A Mil is a thousandth of an inch?
I think you meant Millimeter instead.
Looks good.
What is the price. Price has been the main problem with Vw EVs, simply to high for what you get every time
Good update from VW, they are nearly back (just change the controls on the steering wheel and for the rear windows, stop using this shiny black materials, make a trunk and let some physical controls for volume and heat come back).
Did you mean to say a frunk? If so, why? I'm trying to understand why it's so important for people to have a frunk. Isn't it just a bit annoying having to split your luggage between two places?
@@Koff33y seems not to be hard to create a space in front of the car where you can leave your cables. Other manufacturers can do this, so why not ?
@@peterpoppe4855 Oh, I didn't think of the cables. That's a good point! I would love to be able to store my cables somewhere else than in the trunk.
I've tried so hard to like VW EVs but the interiors are just rank!
Now if it could tow like 1000kg, then I'd upgrade my current id3 with this one
The side mirrors are so big when compared to the size of the car
Until you need to see what's behind you.
215 tires are too small if they use EV ecoTires like with the cupra born. These cars weight like 2t with 200kw+ of wheel power.
I would have liked to replace my e-Golf with an ID.3, but VW had little to over, so now it'll be a Volvo EX30
The Volvo is much smaller with no drivers screen or buttons. That’s a no for me.
