I love the style. Finally they're breaking their idiotic EV styling they came up with years ago. The ID.3 is just plain ugly.

Ok mr reviewer
Why don't you tell us less about WV's strategy a more about how the car is.
Does it spy on you?
What kind of EULA will I need to agree to?
Does it have car play/android auto?
Does it have a 4G antenna to connect to VW servers even if I don't enable the feature?
Does it have an app?
In what ways is VW going to try to get subscription money from me?
How much does servicing cost?
How much will a set of brake pads cost?
Does VW support 3rd party repair shops?
Does VW try to lockdown parts and forbid 3rd party repairs?
Can it be remotely disabled? By me, by VW, by law enforcement?
What happens when the battery needs replacing? -
Looks really good. Let's hope it's more reliable than their disastrous id4
-
It's a concept car; none of those things are actually known or knowable yet.
-
I rather buy another Korean or Japanese car.
-
Do you even need to ask? It's in the name, ID every1!

I don't get thesr automakers, who is this made for, don't they see that tesla is killing it with their largr batteries. Why can't they put a 600miles battery with 2 motors for awd, get some fake noises/feels when changing gears, get some smaller rims with more rubber and put the best brake system for an 18" wheel - which I think is the Brembo Sensify. Keep the physical buttons for important features for easy access, add a huge lcd panel for navigation and include carplay/android auto wirelessly - done deal. Make it cost as much as a full blown tesla model s and call it a day - you just stole 90% of the market. Add quick charging system and then you just gotta start building better charging stations.
Wait tesla is killing them and if it wasn't for Musk going full adolf, he could have had the universal people's car.

I don't mean to be an apologist for dieselgate - I'm not, it was scummy and I'm glad VW execs ended up in prison - but all carmakers had illegally high diesel emissions.

VW weren't even close to the worst for it, either. Fiat, Hyundai, and Renault-Nissan (they partner for engine designs a lot) were the worst, VW was bizarrely one of the least over the legal limit.
We just affiliate it with VW more because they were not only the first to be tested, but the VW executives admitted to using cheat devices, whereas most others denied it.

There are currently no plans to ship this in the US.
-
No, it isn't.
It might be, if Volkswagen actually come through on their promises, in 20whatever.
-
You can tell it's a concept that isn't in production because it has big wheels with thin tires and no tire-to-fender gap.
Concept images are just for hype.
-
Review what? It's a concept. This is basically an ad. lol
-
VW lost the plot on product names years ago.
-
Any car company can draw pretty cars. lol
-
EVs don’t need fancy brakes because they use regenerative braking.
-
But starting anew with a bad concept is still a bad start.
-
Very true.

There's that, but the problem is weight, with a 600mile range battery it's gonna be a heavy car, with small 18 inch tires and more rubber to make the ride softer you can't fit large piston brakes, so you need to make changes to improve the overall experience - think about a system that stops a small EV with the weight of a large SUV faster than a sports car. It would make for an amazing driving experience as EVs have great acceleration, just not the best weight balance, even though it's mostly kept to the floor for a lower point of gravity. Not to mention you would be saving lives in the case of an accident.
