THE VOLKSWAGEN ID.3 TAKES ON THE NÜRBURGRING!

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pro, equipped with a 62kWh battery, was put to the test on the Nürburgring. While not designed as a performance car, the ID.3 demonstrated surprising agility and balance, making for an enjoyable, albeit slow, lap. The reviewer highlighted its comfortable interior and ease of living with, contrasting it with its less dynamic nature compared to sportier EVs. A significant drawback identified was the braking system's inability to cope with repeated hard use, leading to overheating and warning lights. Despite this, the chassis was praised for its composure. The reviewer concluded that with upgraded brakes and suspension, the ID.3 could be a much more capable performance vehicle, especially in a hypothetical 'hot hatch' variant.
