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.

The interior is fairly spacious, despite several defects — bodywork and interior — and two consecutive breakdowns caused by the same air‑conditioning compressor problem. Very long waiting times for spare parts and for warranty repairs. In the end, I no longer have this vehicle because I was very disappointed.
