Both versions of the ID 3 have 201bhp fed to the rear wheels, but performance depends on whether you go for the Pro or the heavier Pro S version.

150kW

Hatchback

The VW Group famously spends more money on research and development than any rival – and as a result, perhaps it should be no surprise that our testers rate its cars so consistently highly.

The fact that many of those cars use the same underpinnings also helps, because it means that if they get it right once, they have the foundations to keep on getting it right.

However, the Volkswagen brand faces plenty of tough competition, often from within, because the rapidly rising Seat and Skoda brands that are also part of the group have access to the same technology.

VOLKSWAGEN

ID.3

If you can spend a little extra, we think Pro Match is the one to go for. It doesn’t cost much more but adds plenty of niceties, including alloy wheels, wireless phone charging, heated front seats and dual-zone air conditioning.

Volkswagen ID 3

The Volkswagen ID 3 is decent to drive, comfortable and even nippy in Pro guise. It’s quite expensive though, making it hard to justify over the MG4 EV Long Range or, if you're considering the Pro S version, the Tesla Model 3. If you do buy an ID 3, we recommend going for Pro Match version to prioritise driver fun over battery range, or one of the Pro S versions if you need to go further on a charge.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Sufficient range between charges to fit in with most people’s lifestyles – and in the real world, not on some far-fetched official test </li> <li>Quick charging times and compatibility with the most ubiquitous types of public charging points </li> <li>Priced to be within the grasp of more than just the privileged few </li> <li>As with any car, ride comfort, practicality and ownership costs can’t be ignored</li></ul>

We define an electric car as one that runs purely on battery power and has no tailpipe to puff out nasty chemicals.

The best of the breed offer sufficient range between charges to fit in with most people’s lifestyles – and in the real world, not on some far-fetched official test cycle.
