Hurray another EV that isn’t a sedan, with a stupid name, and is ugly too. Just what the market needs.
Tbf hatchbacks take up the same amount of space but have better cargo capacity. Best of both worlds. I love that I can toss my ebike and lots of camping gear in my tiny Bolt and take it camping. Not possible in a sedan.
It’s tiny though, that gives it a lot of slack
If this comes to the US I will trade in my ID.4 for this. Small = sexy.
First world countries will be scrambling to replace their high tech industries as China eats their lunch.
Launches in 2027 lmao
By that time Chinese evs will be flying or smt
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!
The car he’s reviewing does not exist. He has some technical specs and a few renders to review.
Does it spy on you?
All new cars do and this one doesn’t even hide it, it’s called “id everyone”.
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.
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.
Mazda’s Laputa translates to “the bitch” in Spanish.
There’s also Ford’s Probe…
But yeah ID.EVERY1 is a mediocre name.
Audi’s Etron translates to “turd” in French.
Also, marica, moco, pajero, borrego… there is like a competition
It’s much worse than that. Perra means bitch but puta is closer to prostitute. Lol
They should produce a Beetle EV.
The Volkswagen Bug Zapper.
Beetle EV
The Karmann Ghia EV conversions are stunning. Go see the most gorgeous thing VW ever made do 0-60 in 3 seconds.
So, as someone who drove three different classic beetles in the past, you know the KG is still my vote.
Meh. Retro car design on a modern car is just lazy.
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
Not as snazzy looking though
I doubt the production version will look that snazzy, I bet it’ll end up being much taller and look more like this:
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.
This is why I’m more looking forward to the id.2, this actually looks like a good one for the price https://www.volkswagen.nl/modellen/id-2all
They won’t stop until even the pedals are touch buttons, are they?
I really don’t mind it, having driven a Tesla for a year it wasn’t bad at all.
Well I drive a heavily touch-screenified car, and I hate it. Have had the damn thing for almost a year but I still get nervous when I have to adjust the A/C.
Understandable, most car companies have garbage software (the Yaris I drive now included). Tesla is just leagues ahead at this point and I hope VW is gonna improve a lot looking at their mockups
It’d be a decent deal now, but this launches in 2027, by which point this would be underwhelming.
155 mile range, well that’s a local commuter car, that’s it. The masses need things besides a local commuter car.
There’s also an ID.2all that’s more geared towards the masses: https://www.volkswagen.nl/modellen/id-2all
Personally this car would cover any drive I do except going to my parents and back (where I’d have to charge… at home here and at my parents there… so still fine really)
That’s 2 days of the longest work commute I’ve ever had. If the owner drives their daily then comes home and plugs it in I doubt it will ever be a problem. I’ve never heard range complaints from anyone that actually owns an ev either. There’s also a lot of people that have brought up road trips but none of the ones I know IRL have gone on road trips with their gas cars. I can’t see it as much more than people just don’t want to give up their cancer fumes.
It’s totally fine if it works for people, but I regularly drive long distance, and limited range means planning everything around that.
I have been looking at aptera, which might have longer range due to being aerodynamic and efficient. That’s what I want to see offered more for EVs. Problem is, it’s not a reality until it’s available for sale.
I commute 63 miles one way, every day.
The Volvo EX30 looks good as well but its super plastic and low quality inside. This car will probably follow the same pattern since they need make money on these ones too.
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?
There are currently no plans to ship this (or the slightly larger longer range model) in the US. 🙄
Why would you ship a small car to a country in love with the biggest streetpanzers?
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.
