What would you change about the ID.3? 🤔

[sargfowler]

Bit of a hit and miss then? Shame the stupid touch buttons didn't get ditched.

[hometechUK]

Unfortunately as the steering wheel STILL has capacitive buttons (Allegedly changing to physical buttons but won't believe until changed) & the UK not getting the 12" screen till sometime 2024 it's STILL a definite no.

[markscrivener]

It wasn’t good enough before and it won’t be until it has a proper and complete overhaul.

[DragoonGalaxy]

So they didn't actually fix the main problems?

[akaflash]

How could the first generation ID3 be described as an exceptional electric car with all of those significant issues? The ridiculous non-backlit sliding controls are remaining. Perhaps it's a potentially exceptional electric car, should they actually resolve all of the issues.

[jor_R]

Great improvements but they did not get rid of the touch sensitive buttons which creates haptic feedback. I thought VW will fix this issue because of so many documented complaints from Id3, id4.... owners. For me its a big disappointment, not enough to consider buying this updated version. Great review 👍

[toyotaprius]

No update/price reduction on the e-UP?

[Scarbir]

Big changes... Except the ones most needed. Such incompetence.

[beefsuprem]

Seems they've tinkered and done a rebrand but left the main issue in place!
Whilst removing the cheap car and upselling you🎉👏👏
Well done VW

[AndrewKNI]

Nice improvements and looks great but are the heating slider controls back lit at night?

[TL-xwfh]

Daytime running lights in the tail lights?

[PakaBubi]

Currently I am driving a golf mkv 8 (love it) but thinking to ditch it in 2 years time for an ID3

[bbar]

Get rid of those buttons and put actual ones or just touchscreen

[mikeymike]

Can't help but feel the original ID3 was essentially a beta test people spent tens of thousands to be part of.

[richardjansen]

Fix the software problems, ID 4 is an excuse, sold mine and was lucky to get a buyer

[michaelherlihy]

Over 70, 000km done in my ID.3. Only thing I would like is to have timed charging that works reliably like I had in my eGolf with 100, 000km done on cheap night rate electricity €1 per 100km.

[Goodman-]

Skip to 4:09 and you'll find that VW didn't address the only concern you'll have with any current VW product. You're welcome.

[stevenbarrett]

The average interior plus buggy software and not so wonderful range put me right off, went with Tesla and never looked back

[Olliebobalong]

Getting rid of the black plastic on the bonnet is a welcome change. Longer bonnets look far better, and it served no purpose. Better quality materials were needed. The new infotainment with backlit buttons aren’t due until next year due to this facelift launching a year earlier than scheduled.
