VerdictLet's just forget what used to be: the Volkswagen ID.3 Neo absolutely delivers, and it does so properly. Crucially, the new, more frugal electric motor makes the smaller battery packs far more attractive to buyers than they ever were before. The all-electric Golf equivalent arrived early, making its grand debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show back in September 2019. But in doing so, Volkswagen ran the immediate risk of alienating its fiercely loyal clientele. When it first arrived, the cabin quality, glitchy software and the frustrating ergonomics didn’t meet the high expectations VW buyers had long held, costing the company a lot of goodwill and trust.
