Reviews VW ID.3

Overall impression: owners tend to view the ID.3 as a refined, efficient and comfortable electric hatch that feels quick and well-suited to everyday driving. Typical positives often mention a surprisingly spacious cabin, strong performance and good efficiency, while some owners note limited boot space for larger items and wish for a bit more ground clearance; a few also point out that real-world efficiency depends on driving style. The feedback is generally favorable but drawn from relatively short comments and comparisons, so these patterns should be taken as indicative rather than definitive.

The VW ID.3 is superior in every aspect... The performance isn't even comparable, the electric has fantastic punch... Durability? I'd like to see the complexity of a hybrid system compared to the simplicity of an electric motor... There's no comparison

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.

Owners tend to be very positive about the G9, frequently praising its tech-rich cabin, ride comfort and strong performance that many compare favorably with established luxury models. Common positives include spaciousness, regular software updates, fast charging and low running costs, while some owners mention flaky voice recognition, occasionally intrusive driver-assist behavior and limited ventilation control for rear passengers. The overall tone is consistently enthusiastic, though many comments are brief so longer-term or broader reliability nuances are less detailed.

I drove the Mercedes EQS and the Xpeng G9 Performance. The Xpeng is an ultra-modern, voice-controlled car with excellent build quality, a superior sound system and air suspension. I now understand why VW invested €700 million to buy a 5% stake in Xpeng. VW cars in China now run on Xpeng technology.

I've seen and driven both cars. The XPeng 9 makes more of an impression. The Zeekr 7x's interior color is limited to black — a real shame! For a nicer contrast you'll have to have it wrapped in a different color. But that's a matter of taste! Otherwise the cars are comparable, noting that the XPeng is a proper SUV while the Zeekr 7x is a crossover.
