The model
Read full Volkswagen ID 3 reviewThe Volkswagen ID 3 is decent to drive, comfortable and even nippy in Pro guise. It’s quite expensive though, making it hard to justify over the MG4 EV Long Range or, if you're considering the Pro S version, the Tesla Model 3. If you do buy an ID 3, we recommend going for Pro Match version to prioritise driver fun over battery range, or one of the Pro S versions if you need to go further on a charge.
The trim
See full equipmentEntry-level Pro Essential covers all the basics and just a little more, giving you the likes of 18in steel wheels, adaptive cruise control, heated washer jets and rain-sensing wipers.
The engine
See full engine specsBoth versions of the ID 3 have 201bhp fed to the rear wheels, but performance depends on whether you go for the Pro or the heavier Pro S version.
