It is 4.26 metres long, 1.8 metres wide and 1.58 metres tall and there is 2.77 of space between the front and rear axle. Unfortunately, in this ununited Europe, countries are not singing from the same hymn sheet and whether the TCO adds up is a very local matter.Īesthetically, the ID3 clearly expresses its VW DNA, but not without revisiting some of the brand’s style codes. Things look a lot different, though, if you consider the tax advantages bestowed upon this all-electric car, not least in Germany. That’s not to say that a list price of at least €30k excluding VAT makes it a cheap car, or at least not “Beetle-cheap”.
