Sentiment Score 58%The VW ID.3 feels entirely like the car to carry VW into the next era. It's fast, smooth, comfortable, quiet, full of tech and cheaper than the Leaf with more incentives to buy, too. It boasts great practicality and plenty of usable range, so feels like the Golf for a new generation when the Golf seems to have gone off the boil.

Pros
- Great practicality
- Good range
Cons
- Lack of tech
- Not as comfortable as rivals
autoexpress[2]
Sentiment Score 69%VW will reveal the final car at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. The ID.3 is one centimetre shorter than a Golf, at 4.26 metres. It is two centimetres wider and, thanks to the batteries under the floor, a full 17cm taller. The boot capacity is 390 litres – only 10 litres more than the Golf's.

Pros
- Flexible infotainment system
- Decent range
Cons
- Small turning circle
- Small boot
autoexpress[3]
Sentiment Score 77%The Volkswagen ID.3 is an accomplished all-electric family hatchback. It gets the basics right with competitive pricing, desirable looks and great levels of comfort - all wrapped up in a practical package. On-board tech is also a plus point, but the touch-sensitive infotainment screen could divide opinion and some might find the harder interior plastics slightly disappointing.

Pros
- Excellent looks
- Competitively priced
- Good standard equipment
Cons
- Lacklustre infotainment
autoexpress[4]
Sentiment Score 82%VW's first bespoke EV is a great start, boasting comfort, usable range and lots of technology. It rides and handles well and proves this is the direction family cars are heading in, thanks to great practicality and refinement compared with an ICE model. While £35,880 after the £3,000 plug-in car grant is still a significant sum, it's cheaper than a Nissan Leaf e+ in top-spec Tekna trim.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of tech
- Good range
Cons
- Expensive compared to ICE models
autoexpress[5]
Sentiment Score 79%The ID.3 is a five-door family hatchback – Golf-sized, which is no coincidence. It sits on MEB, the VW Group's modular fully electric platform. The Tour Pro S has the same 201bhp rear-mounted electric motor as the bulk of the range, while carrying extra kilos due to its bigger battery. Its kerbweight is more than 1,900kg. It's a comfortable cruiser and swift enough, particularly when accelerating from rest.

Pros
- Sleek cabin tech
- Lots of standard equipment
Cons
- Expensive for what you get
- No adaptive dampers
autoexpress[6]
Sentiment Score 77%The impressive Volkswagen ID.3 EV joins our fleet fresh from winning an award from our sister title Carbuyer. It was judged the Best Small Company Car, as it was in the Auto Express New Car Awards in July. The boot capacity is five litres bigger than you’ll find in a petrol VW Golf, but that’s with the movable floor in its lowest position.

Pros
- Sleek design
- Good range
- Lots of standard kit
Cons
- Bundled boot
- No front trunk
carwow[7]
Sentiment Score 69%VW reckons the ID3 is a bit like the iPhone in 2007. It could be the car that convinces the masses that electric transportation is the future. VW has form in this kind of transformation, providing the transport for the masses with the VW Beetle, then the Golf. The ID3 will eventually be available with three battery sizes – 48kWh, a 58kWh and 77kWh. All have a 204hp electric motor.

Pros
- Fantastic range
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent infotainment system
Cons
- No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
- Expensive for what you get
digitaltrends[8]
Sentiment Score 75%The ID.3 is best enjoyed when driven in a calm, relaxed manner. It delivers linear acceleration, partly because the motor spins the rear wheels through a fixed-ratio gearbox that never changes gears. The only noise in the cabin comes from the wind and from the tires, but neither is excessive or annoying.

Pros
- Easy-to-navigate user interface
- Easy to drive
- Solid performance
Cons
- Expensive compared to a comparable hatchback
- Disappointing infotainment system
