NEW 2025 VW ID.3 REVIEW | ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THE MG4?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 VW ID.3, following its recent facelift, has significantly improved its interior quality and exterior styling, addressing key criticisms of the pre-facelift model. Reviewers highlight the more aggressive and purposeful exterior design and a markedly better interior with improved materials and a more premium feel. While the infotainment system's unilluminated climate controls remain a drawback for right-hand drive markets, the overall cabin experience is now more competitive. The driving dynamics are described as competent and comfortable, suitable for everyday use, though not thrilling. The rear-wheel-drive setup with a 58 kWh battery offers a real-world range of approximately 230 miles, which is deemed adequate for its segment. Despite a higher price point than rivals like the MG4, the ID.3 now justifies its cost with its enhanced premium feel and build quality, positioning itself as the more refined, albeit less exciting, choice in the C-segment electric hatchback market.
