Small Hatch of the Year

Volkswagen ID.3

Volkswagen ID 3

“Volkswagen’s first purpose-built EV has everything that’s needed for the modern driver going electric,”

Chris Russon

 

“Electric, but useful enough for the daily grind – as long as you have the bigger battery. Looks fresh, and more striking than the sister-Golf,”

Tom Ford

 

“It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but the ID.3 drives well, has a practical layout in a compact footprint and has a range that makes it easier to switch to EV power,”

Paul Barker

 

“It may not be perfect, but as a demonstration of Volkswagen’s intent to democratise EV tech, it has to be applauded,”

Nat Barnes

 

“A brilliant family hatch in its own right, with a smart interior and plenty of space for a family. Yet it’s also an accessible, easy to use electric car that will surely bring electric motoring to the masses,”

Alex Robbins

 

“It’s always nice – but all too rare – when a concept car makes production with original design intent intact. The ID.3 is such a vehicle, with high-roofed hatchback silhouette present and correct – proportionally offset by large wheels – and with product design-influences galore,”

Guy Bird
