- Volkswagen has a bunch of electric cars coming to Australia and the ID.5 is one of them. We had the chance to test drive it in Germany before the ID.5 and ID.4 arrive in Australia mid-2024.

#volkswagen #id5 #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Can we take a moment to appreciate the effort Paul is going to review these vehicles overseas from Australia. I'm looking forward to seeing many more great reviews.
Poor Paul on a European gravy train, don't you feel sorry for him.
He is just doing his job and he doesn't even pay for his trips
Tall poppy syndrome hits again, greettings from Germany 😁
The backdrop at the start of the video with the sun on the lake is gorgeous. The car looks so-so.
Paul you’re a bloody great reviewer keep up the good work
I would take the ID5 instead of a Tesla Y, I purchased a Cupra Born instead of Tesla 3 and I am very happy with that. You can bet that the augmented realty won’t be on the ID5 just like it didn’t come on my fully specified Born. The reason for this is that it requires the northern hemisphere satellite system that cannot be accessed in Australia. I would have loved this on my Born but because we are in Australia it’s not an option. I will consider one of these if it comes fully equiped but I’m not holding my breath. Regarding the drum brakes they work really well on my born as they have put larger disks up front with the sports pack. You don’t see rear disks on a truck and when you consider you’re got 2 tons of car, it makes sense.
Of course this vehicle will have been fully brake tested extensively in the Alps. This is a modern vehicle so I'm confident the brakes will perform impecably.
The other big advantage of drum brakes is that they won't suffer from corrosion the way rear disk brakes do!
1:00 in. Gorgeous camera work. Kudos to production ✌
These drum brakes can no longer be compared with the old ones from before. In today's concept of electric vehicles, this is more than sufficient, even with a very sporty driving style. Finally, recuperation takes over the majority of the negative acceleration without putting any strain on the brakes. And with this front brake, any criticism is inappropriate anyway.
I love the buttons on the steering wheel makes things easier than fiddling with the screen while driving
When’s the midlife facelift due on this? The newer ev’s from VW are looking a lot sharper
Wow I'm definitely voting for more reviews filmed at the golden hour. Even a blob as boring looking as the iD5 looked stunning with that light and that deep red paint. Brilliant work as always from Paul, but my god what a soul crushingly boring looking car from the folks who make GTi's.
You seriously reckon that the id5 is a blob????
So what do you think of the frumpy Tesla Model Y ???
@@Nicholas.T I think very little of it, except for the dozens I have to see in my suburb daily. Just because Telsa is the undoubted leader in EV's doesn't mean they get a free pass in my books. The Model 3/Y have very little visual appeal to me, but they make up for it in plenty of other ways.
The ID range is already starting on the back foot IMO with things like those annoying interiors, bland and boring designs, cost cutting measures like the drum brakes, and frankly lackluster efficiency etc. The only way I can see VW making a dent in our market with these cars is if they significantly undercut Telsa on price and go for the Chinese competition, but I doubt that's going to happen when they're happily flogging off $90k Golf's to people with more sense than money right now.
@@shakeelali20$90k Golfs???
Where are $90k Golfs being sold ??
Overall good looking vehicle. The front of the vehicle could have taken a more aggressive look for a GTX trim. The rear brakes should definitely be disc brakes.
WTF is up with drum brakes on a new car??? Thought those died in the 90's?
drum brakes are more powerful and have less emissions. But they lose effectiveness when the heat up, and this is less of an issue on electric cars that use regerative breaking
The VW has a built-in sunshade. The Model Y is like an after market shade that needs to be installed manually. Completely different.
Yes Tesla really cheaped out on that.
Tesla are absolutely PATHETIC!!
You have to purchase an aftermarket sunshade from a 3rd party company, to be installed manually!!
Seriously??
The most “valuable” car company on earth cannot provide an integrated sunshade for the glass roof??
Something that you’ll find even in a $40k Kia !!
Shame on you Tesla.
SHAME!!
A shade? So first we add a problem for no reason whatsoever and then try solving it? How about making the utterly idiotic glass roof a paid for OPTION only? Half of people do not care about stupid glass roofs AT ALL. The other half who THINK they like the idea, realize after 1st week that they have ZERO use of it too.
Great work Paul.
This car imo (and major markets like Europe/US/China) isn't competitive against MY.
I honest think they need to significantly undercut the $65k MY base price if they are to be in the conversation. But considering that the Born starts at over $60k once you include optional (but essential) interior package just to get heated and powered s eats (amongst a few other additions) I doubt they can achieve this price offset necessary to compete.
Looks great
Not sure it has any chance of performing as well as my 2014 103TDI Tiguan on the beach, in t he sand dunes or on my prospecting trips in the bush. Ability to be raised and fitted with 70 aspect ratio tyres for the Bush driving will be very important to me.
VW just changed the whole software and main screen of the ID4. The shifter was moved to a stock. And they changed the motor to give it a lot more HP and a huge bump in torque. This vehicle is DOA.
Drum brakes on a EV? Sure you might not need to brake alot in an EV but when you definitely need to stop a 2.7t vehicle you want to stop.
the car also brake by using its own electric motor so installing drum brakes on the rear wheels is to save money. Tbf its braking distance is quite alright.
Ok for Europe. But totally impractical for Australia, no spare, lack of charging facilities and range hopeless unless you don't leave town.
So 7 seconds to 100 is fast and Tesla standard range Y’s 6.9 seconds is slow? How does that work out?
Lol, no storage up the front.
Every reporter keeps on rambling about those buttons on the steering wheel. Living with an ID.3 for 2 years now I never had a problem with those buttons. They are OK in my book.
VW with electric cars has a historic opportunity to shed the image of the consumption and pollution liars they are best known for, but it looks like they have continued to lie about consumption in this case of electric cars. The wolf changes its coat, but not its temper!
Tesla has been in trouble for this already
What is sad that most EV are overprized about 30-35% , as you probably know battery production cost went down in 2023 to about 50% but electric vehicles still cost the same money what in late 2023 :) ! They ssucking our money without mercy ! within 6-8 Months there will be a cost cutting on EV price , no doubt
That's not Germany. That's Hintersteinersee in Austria
Looks too safe - like an ICE car imo. I like the Ioniq 5 or EV9 over this
Very, very smart move from Volkswagen with providing 2 options - one with sloping roof and another without it. Sloping roofs absolutely DESTROY practicality of an SUV. Severely reduced storage space at the back. ZERO visibility through rear glass. No rear wipers. And the advantage of a sloping roof in aero dynamics is negligible.
VW could be selling the ID4, ID3 and ID5 in Australia for more than double the price they are getting for their EVs in China, and they would still be Australia's cheapest EVs. The ID3 retails for $16kUS in China, about $21k AUD.
As Confucious says: VW, You not very smart!
Its a decent start, but I'd wait for their next generation of EV's.
Even VW themselves have in more business-oriented (ass covering) words, said that the interiors on these are shit. Granted they still look functionally better than a Tesla, but certainly nowhere near the functionality that one would expect from a VW.
I'm honestly unsure what you mean with interior functionality considering recent VW/VAG interiors i.e. touch/haptic piano black plastics bs as far as the eye can see.
@@Valks-22 Yeah the entire Volkswagen line-up is like that at the moment. I just meant historically Volkswagen has famously focused on functionality,
Pity about the reliability of VW cars
So much for Arteon and Golf R wagon with AWD and disc brakes would disappear to make room for these electric ID models with regressed RWD and monotonous rear drum brakes.
I don't understand this so-called electric VW why regressed with drum brakes so obsolete and monotonous ended up like late Mazda Tributes? Speaking of drum brakes not only put off by burning brake shoes risk of brake failure, prone to rust and unreliable complex mechanics with baneful beyond repairs but should get investigated by the ADR. Reap what you sow…
This is the cheapest looking EV design I've seen so far, many tiers below the Chinese EVs. It looks like it was designed in 2006.
Kia EV6GT way better and faster
Just a shame its so ugly
WHY EV cars are ugly? What they are thinking??
