Very bad impression of customer service. New car delivered with dashboard errors, dealership unable to fix the problem for 2 months, no response from customer service despite 4 messages... this scares me for what’s to come....

The Sealion is better finished and of higher quality. But it has higher consumption and charges noticeably slower.

VW ID.Polo

The VW ID.Polo brings classic Polo sensibility to the EV age with a calm, refined ride, an unusually large boot, and refreshingly simple controls with real buttons. It favors easygoing efficiency and family-friendly practicality over playful handling or high-speed autobahn pace, and the smaller-battery versions ask for a bit more planning on long trips.
