More substance, and I don't really trust consumption figures that claim better numbers than Tesla's. Electric cars need to be driven differently from model to model to achieve the best efficiency… So in the various tests the biggest difference is made by the driver…

ID.3 catches less wind. It's more pleasant, especially on the highway. Also: more economical, lighter and with the same step‑in height.

Great all rounder, surprisingly spacious cabin. Rapid and refined. Not quiet enough space in the boot for a bike, could use more ground clearance.
