Volkswagen ID.3 (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Futuristic looks meet family-friendly space	Not as energy-efficient as some rivals
Good range of battery and engine options	Not quite as premium-feeling as you'd hope
Well equipped	Infotainment system glitchy and flawed

Quick Summary

The Volkswagen ID.3 (2020-present) is a well-rounded family electric hatchback that combines futuristic design with practical family-friendly space. Launched in 2020 with a choice of battery sizes, the ID.3 offers a bespoke electric platform rather than simply adapting an existing model. The 2023 facelift refined the range to two battery options, with the 77kWh model delivering up to 347 miles of range. With a spacious 385-litre boot, comfortable driving position, and rear-wheel-drive layout providing excellent cabin space, the ID.3 feels well-built and comfortable for families and commuters alike.

The ID.3 delivers a calm, predictable driving experience with 201bhp of power sent to the rear wheels, offering instant torque and good refinement. Charging times vary by battery size and charger type, with rapid charging delivering a 100-mile top-up in 15–30 minutes. Running costs are competitive, especially with affordable home electricity tariffs, and servicing intervals are longer than most rivals. However, real-world efficiency of around 3.1 miles/kWh lags behind some competitors, and the infotainment system, whilst feature-rich, can be unintuitive. The ID Light is a neat touch that adds to the car's futuristic appeal.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped electric hatchback with futuristic styling, those with access to home charging, and buyers prioritising comfort and practicality over outright efficiency.

Not ideal for: Those requiring maximum energy efficiency, buyers expecting premium interior quality throughout, or those who prefer simpler, more intuitive infotainment systems.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ID.3 if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped electric hatchback with futuristic styling, have access to home charging, and prioritise comfort and practicality over outright efficiency.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum energy efficiency, expect premium interior quality throughout, or prefer simpler, more intuitive infotainment systems.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen ID.3 is a strong contender in the family electric hatchback market, offering excellent space, comfort, and design. Whilst the Kia Niro EV scores higher overall and the MG4 offers better value, the ID.3 remains a well-rounded choice for those prioritising practicality and futuristic appeal. Its longer servicing intervals and comprehensive equipment levels are notable advantages, though rivals like the Kia deliver superior efficiency and the MG4 provides better value for money. The ID.3 is best suited to buyers who value design, space, and brand heritage alongside electric motoring credentials.
