Ok mr reviewer
Why don’t you tell us less about WV’s strategy a more about how the car is.
Does it spy on you? What kind of EULA will I need to agree to? Does it have car play/android auto? Does it have a 4G antenna to connect to VW servers even if I don’t enable the feature? Does it have an app? In what ways is VW going to try to get subscription money from me? How much does servicing cost? How much will a set of brake pads cost? Does VW support 3rd party repair shops? Does VW try to lockdown parts and forbid 3rd party repairs? Can it be remotely disabled? By me, by VW, by law enforcement? What happens when the battery needs replacing? What is the visibility like? If it horrible does it have obstable detection?
Do you even need to ask? It’s in the name, ID every1!
Review what? It’s a concept. This is basically an ad. lol
Not to mention that VW lied to its customers before with the emissions scam…
Funny how you’re mostly asking questions that no real human cares about when shopping for car…
I’m a person, I care
Are you though? 🤔
What do your people ask then? “Does it come in red too?”
The average person doesn’t give a crap about all the privacy stuff, they care about range, how it drives, the warranty, the options.
People who care about privacy will never win this fight because normies will keep buying the cars.
Launches in 2027 lmao
By that time Chinese evs will be flying or smt
There are already affordable EVs in Europe, as an example the Dacia Spring which has the same 230km autonomy and even lower price (18-19.000€ retail final price to consumer in Portugal which has high taxes on new vehicles).
Not as snazzy looking though, that’s what’s really important! /s
I looked up the Dacia Spring and it says, that it’s manufactured in China.
The manufacturing county of the world is manufacturing this car?
Dacia is a small Romanian brand with a single plant, so learning that some are rebranded Renaults from China is quite surprising.
It might also surprise you to learn that Dacia is actually a large French conglomerate.
They’ve been fully owned by Renault for more than two decades.
I see, I guess their single plant can’t keep up with demand.
Is it just me or is that the worst name for a car in the history of the automobile?
It’s not great but ‘bad car names’ is a whole genre, one that vw in particular excels at. These are the guys that brought you the “Tiguan”. Look it up, that’s not some fancy Spanish word or something, they literally just jammed the words “tiger” and “iguana” together and thought that it’d be the perfect name for their new mom-car.
To be fair Tiguan when phonetically translated into Chinese is 踢館， which means “going to someone else’s house and kicking the shit out of them” which is kind of fire.
Hurray another EV that isn’t a sedan, with a stupid name, and is ugly too. Just what the market needs.
Looks really good. Let’s hope it’s more reliable than their disastrous id4
You can tell it’s a concept that isn’t in production because it has big wheels with thin tires and no tire-to-fender gap.
Concept images are just for hype.
There are currently no plans to ship this (or the slightly larger longer range model) in the US. 🙄
It’d be a decent deal now, but this launches in 2027, by which point this would be underwhelming.
No, it isn’t.
It might be, if Volkswagen actually come through on their promises, in 20whatever.
If this comes to the US I will trade in my ID.4 for this. Small = sexy.
They’ve gone out of their way to avoid showing the hatch opened. From the pictures they DO have there, it appears the hatch opening area is borderline useless. My question is WHY?
First world countries will be scrambling to replace their high tech industries as China eats their lunch.
I rather buy another Korean or Japanese car. As an European except for the electric r5 I have no interest in European car makers, much less from a company that should have disappeared after dieselgate.
I don’t mean to be an apologist for dieselgate - I’m not, it was scummy and I’m glad VW execs ended up in prison - but all carmakers had illegally high diesel emissions.

VW weren’t even close to the worst for it, either. Fiat, Hyundai, and Renault-Nissan (they partner for engine designs a lot) were the worst, VW was bizarrely one of the least over the legal limit for most engine designs.
We just affiliate it with VW more because they were not only the first to be tested, but the VW executives admitted to using cheat devices, whereas most others denied it. VW took the fall for an entire shady industry.
