Forget the car -- that landscape scenery in the background is so beautiful.
the entire interior looks cheap to be honest. Thank you for this enjoyable review ❤
As is the norm with VW.
Test drove an ID.4 and the interior looks Fisher-Price (children's toys for those not in the US). Really disgusting interior for those who remember the VW Golf Mk 6 interior.
Drove the ID3 and even my 11 years old niece laughed about the cheap interior and the plastic seats.
If you want a good interior take an Audi or BMW instead, but yes it should be better, the platform was designed like 4 years ago? At that time it was important to be different, let's say different they are but not better.
A far cry from the previous gen VW, a real shame.
I think the mountains look nicer 😜
Thanks for the review 😘
Way too expensive considering the Enyaq Coupe is thousands cheaper and looks better!
...just looks!
@@carlosramos992 and is more efficient
@@dragospahontu but the seats are nicer in the VW
@@SwissOliver that's subjective, but important.
The ID 5 GTX is more expensive and much more beautiful than the Skoda. All good.
It has adaptive recuperation. It’s set from the Assist-menu. It’s something like eco-assistance. It works when the ACC is off. It uses radar, speed signs and map info.
Love the background! Amazing location my man!!!!
In your service!
Excellent review. Thanks for explaining recharging in more detail.
highly appreciated! Please keep joining and recommend our channel :-)
Love the star wars references! and great work team as always 😉👍
😎👍
Thank you very much for showing us the view Thomas , it makes the channel even better than the competition .
👍😎 please recommend!
Hey Thomas, great video. I wanted to ask if it is possible for you to get access to Audi Exclusive and BMW Individual to view as many colors, trim pieces and other surprises you may have for us. I think it might be interesting to know what is out there for those willing to build something a little more special.
Thanks 🙏
Interesting idea!
That beautiful view, Thomas. That that beautiful view.💗🌺
😎
The ID4 and ID5 are just too similar... I don't understand why VW would spend tons of money to make this vehicle. It barely expands their addressable market.
Its just so they can flood the market wo 50 different models, when they are basically the same
They already make "coupé" versions of all the other cars on this platform; Enyaq coupé, Q4 Sportback, so making another one probably didn't cost much
Same as the Q4, which has a sport back version. Both are irrelevant when the Ioniq 5 exists
BMW, Mercedes, Audi and VW Skoda have been launching sporty coupe version of their main model to get more buyers and they have succeeded so why would they stop ? It s the same way ice cream vendor offering different flavour to their ice cream.
It surely expands, it is their only SPORTY Ev, i have egolf 2020 and planning to buy ID5
Adaptive regeneration is available, it works in D mode. My ID3 has it so this GTX certainly will have it too:
If you lift the "throttle" with a clear road ahead you will roll without regen. If you're comming up to slower traffic it will regen until it matches the speed, idem with upcoming sharp bends or roundabouts it will, in my experience, pretty much starts to regen where I normally would start to slow down as well.
even without cruise control activated?
@@autogefuehl Yes, works in Enyaq as well. Keep it mind you need to be in the normal diving mode so the D becomes an A on the display. So doesn't work in Eco or Sport
@@autogefuehl Yes, it's controlled by some setting. I'll look if I can find a video about it on YT
It's behavior is controlled by the setting "eco assistance" and it works in eco and confort mode.
A video about it: th-cam.com/video/a9w22O0Rvgk/w-d-xo.html (from about the 3:30 minute mark)
Yep, this is labelled “Eco assist” in uk models.
Really nice and complete review! Thank you for sharing!
4:10 this model also supports bidirectional charging! 🔌⚡🚘
thanks !!
Beautiful location ! You should have added the rack and mountain bike(s) ...... ID5 looks nice, but need the BUZZ for camping
I’m very happy for people with any of the VW EVs. We actually had an ID.4 on order for like 6 months. Ended up canceling it because of that interior. Just wasn’t for us. It was like the more we watched on the vehicle the more I began to not like it and I didn’t know why. It was my wife who actually gave voice to what it was. One day she said Doesn’t it kind of remind you of a Fisher Price plastic kids toy on the inside?? Couldn’t unsee it. Oh well, other people love it so it’s all good.
14:19 “I know you’re laughing”
Me: 😂😂🤣
😂
Thank you very much Thomas 👍🏻🌺
🙏🙏
Very nice exterior styling.
if it is about kings and emperors, is there also a drag Queen somwhere round?
Yes….. a frunk is wanted big time! Great video!
🙏🙏
A lot of glossy piano black. Wish they had an alternative.
Enjoyed this review and there were some funny bits that made me laugh out loud. Love the Austrian landscape too.
👌😉
Volkswagen need to change their interior trim team. Too many cars have very odd trim combinations.
VW has gone wrong with interiors since Ferdinand Piëch retired.
6:00 i always get rubber key covers on Amazon for my VAG keys.
Again fantastic review, I always enjoy watching Thomas’s review, but these VW EVs, meh, it’s better to just buy the cheapest version or Enyaq, these “high performance” versions don’t have uniqueness, it’s a big problem.
Highly appreciated! Feel free to share 😎
The ID 4 and ID 3 are fine and have many happy owners, they are unique unlike any previous VW and has own charm unlike other generic EVs like Enyaq, even Enyaq are fine too.
The ID line will be like Beetle, or Transporter van, not the fanciest or the fastest but are practical and excel greatly in what they are expected to do, also have own charm. I bet they will age well. I ve driven the ID 4, very study and comfortable car.
@@jonpetter8921 ...and far too expensive as the price performance ratio is a joke in my opinion. I drove the ID3 and the interior was cheap and mainly hard plastic stuff.
@@rallefreifahrt6630 A car is not only about acceleration, not everyone want neck snapping acceleration and to be honest ID 3 is fast enough for the masses. Also it excels better in practicality: Roomier interior compared to Tesla, superior turning radius compared to Tesla, also better ride quality compared to Tesla, and a lot quieter.
"Cheap" interior is relative. There is plastic in th ID 3 but its high quality plastic. Also the interior layout is well put: simplistic and futuristic. Also i don t see the problem with plastic because you barely touch the plastic part. the seat and hand support in the iD 3 is good enough.
@@jonpetter8921 I never talked about acceleration.
6.3 sec for GTX electric version is too slow. The minimum for any sport version should be sub 5 sec imho. Especially considering that you can get Tesla model y performance, similar car for similar price but with serious performance of 3.7 sec. And you even don't have to wait a whole year to get it. For me it is a no brainer but hey...everybody has their own taste.
absolutely agree. supposedly a "sport" version but is slower than the slowest Tesla (model 3 standard range)
Dude sport doesn't mean fast, it means agile and fun. This thing is a boat at 2T
Brilliant, death star!, :) :) VW strike back after diesel gate, brilliant. Love your calm reviews with relevant data and features. Excellent info on your videos.
👍👍🙏😎
Thomas it looks like a well sorted EV 👌 from VW I do not think it needs a trunk under the bonnet which models do you see it competing against? Keith
defo these: th-cam.com/video/dEQubj8fETE/w-d-xo.html
No rear wiper?
Thomas it's getting very complicated, also how do VW get 349 miles range from the iD3 Tour
VW ID5 GTX EV SUV Coupé looks good in maroon/black exterior colors ! Prefer regular roofline over coupe' ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
Thanks Thomas! When can we get it without that horrible blue interior trim? I wanted a dark grey or black ID4 GTX but it had to have blue interior door cards... Looks like a nasty combo
Ya
design wise lately VW is nailing it
Capacitive buttons are terrible for colder climates where you need to wear gloves when starting to drive at far below freezing point temperatures.
Amazing car
Thomas , were you colour matching your outfit to the mountains ? 😎😎
😄👍👍👍
I'd prefer VRS Enyaq package inside and outside vs the VW. Same underneath so.....
First, thanks for another good video. Thomas rocks it.
I think the ID.5 are a really bad design. there are no harmony in it. square big bottom and a too low top for than square. The front and rear end stick out and prevent that smoothness that Mercedes get on the CLA.
Still just another MEB platform and too close to the ID.4.
Where to put your dirty cables when on vacation with full bagage.. no frunk, so in with your clothes..😂
Thanks Henrik!!
Thomas, the UK cost is £60k €70k is this a viable cost base for EVs going forward for the industry? Keith
Seems atm :/
Thomas I will wait for the facelift to buy the iD3 and get it totally animal free.
👌
Cheers,, 🍻😎👍
Why do they put the charging port on the right?
@Stefan D. On the left is closer to the driver
In Europe you drive on the "right" side of the road.
In UK we drive on the "correct" side ;-)
Great review thanks Thomas and crew!
=)
I hope more EV cars get introduced in India 🇮🇳. I bought one but not happy with it (TATA Nexon EV) ..
Range is the issue & way less charging stations.
The import taxes for products from outside India is ridiculous. Only way is to manufacture in India….say no more.
When will manufacturers learn to *NOT* put glossy plastic on surfaces that are frequently touched
i dont watch his videos for 2-3 weeks and he grows from 6,1 to 6,2"
😅😅
Not a fan of the new electric cars from VW. That dashboard reflection would make me crazy in short time of usage. Same as the shiny plastics that will be very ugly filled with scratches in no time. Have also to mention the hard plastic on the back doors and the manual stick keeping the hood up (for safety they say, but at audi + other more expensive, have gas struts). A very cheap ugly car, with a very cheap interior, at a very high price. Still can't believe people prefer VW ID's over other makers. Sad to see so little logical thinking about the price/quality ratio. Great video by the way, only the car i don't like!
Daca te plangi de plastic, iti sugerez sa incerci o tesla. Acolo plastic cum nu intalnesti nici macar la Renault/Dacia! Mi-am comandat un id4 gtx, nu e masina perfecta, dar ofera decenta. Designul este discutabil, mie imi place.
Am testat multe electrice, eqc a fost cea mai faina, polestar 2 iarasi buna dar tesla a fost de departe cea mai slaba masina. Dupa ce treci de „senzatia“ acceleratiei atunci ramai cu un plastic ordinar si urat!
@@cristianmihai1744 este foarte clar ca majoritatea au o gramada de plastic ieftin in interior, pentru ca trebuie sa faca profit. Totusi, la VW este utilizat de zici ca vor sa-si bata joc de tine, pe fata. Mai ales ca situatia sta altfel la gama audi de exemplu. Iar diferentele de bani nu mai sunt la fel de mari ca acum cativa ani. Pentru mine, sunt masini extrem de neatragatoare, atat in interior cat si in exterior, exact ca si golful 8. Au si masini extrem de frumoase, cum ar fi noul passat sau arteon-ul. Daca tie iti place ce ti-ai luat, sa fii sanatos, este limpede ca gusturile nu se discuta. Sper doar ca au rezolvat la toate masinile sistemul software, altfel iarna astepti sa se incalzeasca masina ca sa ai acces la el.
@@iulianbosneanu nah nu stiu cu ce antichitati ai mers, dar la gama electrica iti dai drumul din telefon la incalzire. Trecand peste design, concurenta e tot acolo si ca range si ca putere ( sigur + / - ).
Tot insisti pe plastic, are plastic mult e adevarat, dar incearca o tesla unde inclusiv volan e plasticat si cu probleme ca nu se imbina cum trebuie si simti „denivelari“ pe spita de jos a volanului ( gen pe lateralele spitei ). Asa plastic doar pe dacia 1310 am prins. Vorbesc de model 3 2021 performance, plus multe alte defecte ( aproape lipsa vopsea pe interioara a elementelor caroseriei, la fel ca la volan, plasticele ce acopera stalpii nu se imbin perfect etc. Sigurul avantaj e acceleratia, dar de cate ori pleci sprint intr-o zi?
Cum ai spus, sanatate sa fie si la tine ;)
@@cristianmihai1744 problema plasticului este alta. M-am referit la faptul ca au taiat cat de mult au putut la costuri, iar un aspect nesimtit e acela ca in spate este plasticul diferit de fata. Copiii mei stau toata ziua cu mana pe acel plastic si este jenant sa pui in fata moale si in spate pietroi. Mai degraba puneau invers. Iar la audi este moale si in fata si in spate. Nu-i problema ca e plastic, ci doar din punct de vedere principial. Din punct de vedere software, masinile vw stau foarte prost. Am inteles ca ce iese acum au ceva modificari atat la hardware cat si software mai nou care a cam rezolvat mare parte din probleme, care nu erau deloc putine. In fine, mie mi se pare ca raportul pret/calitate nu este satisfacator la majoritatea electricelor vw in momentul de fata. Luna viitoare voi cumpara un e-up pentru sotie, strict pentru oras. Plastic de cea mai proasta calitate, peste tot. Dar scopul este altul, deplasarea in oras, la costuri cat mai mici si parcarea usoara, totul la un pret rezonabil. Pentru iesit din oras, in cel mai bun caz mi-as cumpara o hibrida, dar inca prefer benzinarele 100%. Toate cele bune.
As a family man with two young kids, what is it with these coupe versions of SUV’s, and before someone mentions sizes in litres, it’s also about the shape of the load space for bulky items.
If you want a sports car, buy a sports car, if you want an SUV buy an SUV. All I see with this is something that is compromised at both and prohibitively expensive on top.
I’m not picking on this VW specifically but I just don’t understand the appeal. The one saving grace with this being an EV is possible efficiency savings due to the shape but other than that, there is no Utility in this “SUV”
The ID Buzz however, I think they absolutely nailed that and I want one. 👍
You didn't sit in the backseats, you were leaning forward and it looked like you wouldn't be able to lean back because of lack of headspace.
Please show headroom in the back row...
Beautiful site for the presentation! Excellent choice! Concerning the branding « GTX » not allowed in North America is because Buick had a GTX that I presume been trad marked.
👍👍
They will call it RTX, probably.
I made a little mistake. It is not Buick but Plymouth in North America that used the branding « GTX »
Sharp looking too....
6.3 sec...in the sporty version? That seems noticeably slower than all of its competition, even excluding the Model Y Performance, Mach E GT, and Polestar 2. Even the non-sporty AWD versions of the competition are quite a bit faster and there's no doubt VW will charge the same for this as those. I guess GTX is just an appearance package.
I agree. 6.3 sec for GTX version especially for e-car is too slow. The minimum for any sport version should be sub 5 sec imho.
Interesting...simliar like a GTI and anyone is calling it a Sporty Car.
Most people do not really care at all...it is fast enough.
All EVs are usally fast at 100...it does not matter if you are after 5 or 9 second at 120km/h, since you cannot drive faster in an EV due to limited range.
This is kind of complete useless discussion.
Hello, Thomas. In need of a well-executed review of Tesla autopilot in Europe right now (basic and self-lane changing enabled). Controversial info about its operation appearing all over twitter. Need to see a real picture!
We will check it out
Thomas, was that a VW guy driving with you? :-)
Cameraman Cornelius 😎
@@autogefuehl ha ha sorry :-)
came form Electroheads and they also shot at Austria...
so i guess these vehicles were in Austria fro review purposes
Yes Thomas left is right lol
I really dont like the styling choices made on the ID range. They were named ID supposedly as they are significant next phase cars for VW like the Beetle and the Golf were. Whilst that may be true, both those cars were innovative and forward thinking while the ID range seems to be retro influenced in the external styling and only average in their class. The ENYAQs are way better looking, more modern designs inside and out, as is the Cupra. This GTX seems a bit of a desperate attempt to inject some desirability into a very dull car. I dont know whether its the fall out of diesel gate but the cars just look cheap to my eyes. As you can tell, would not be on my shopping list for an EV but at least the software appears to work now ...... finally.
I'm waiting for the ID 4 GTX but it''s taking a lot of time to deliver it and I wish that the dealership would provide more information. Because I see a lot of rumors about people now getting their cars and they ordered after me. Which makes me wonder what the f**** VW are doing. And it may be that I'm asking too much but i find other people who even get to know what number in the production line they are and how long the estimate for that given number is in time.
But with VW it seems like they are just giving me the middle finger, and that's not a nice experience.
i wish there was an option for a normal steering wheel...without the shit touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel
I have Tiguan SEL-R 2022 and these touch buttons look really cheap, majority of consumers don't like that design and yet VW keep implementing it into the vehicles. ID5 is so far the only ev I would get but these buttons......Atlas has beautifully designed push buttons, you can feel them and they upgrade the look of a car.
.
They didn't try much to change it from the ID4.
Also nothing Volks about a vagen costing that much. This car is unaffordable for the vast majority of people.
Still the hideous blue door and dashboard surfaces. And I believe there is no options to choose a different color. That was the case when I testdrived the ID 4 GTX and asked an offer from it. VW really have to fire that guy whos responsible for this decision 😅. They are really a big turn off for me. And touch capacitive buttons on the steering wheel + all the piano black on the interior 👎👎. So I went with the Enyaq sportline and with black interior design 👌
Thank you for the review, superb as always 🤜🤛
Appreciated !
It is a question of taste.I like the ID 4 better even if I like my diesel SUV better which can be tanked in 2 minutes an d have a range more than 800 km !
VW has perfect steering wheel in Caddy, Multivan with real buttons, just use it in all models - ID BUzz as well:) and use some lights under climate and volume controls ASAP, not 2023:) Ev without the frunk is OEM being lazy especially interior is not bigger than Tiguan for example.
Not a bad car for everyday driving I guess but ergonomy and some design details show a non-mature aspect of this New VW layout. I prefer the old era with Golf 7 as the representant.
Golf 4 to 7 with bad ergonomy..... screen dangerously low. Takes eyes from road.
Thomas you broke it
Better looking than the Q4 sportback.
Same ugly😁
Same garbage
I’m here only to enjoy beautiful Austrian nature and great presentation of the boring and cheap looking electric VW😁
😂
Can we just call it a 'Voltswaggen' now?
i dont get why people always reference it having no frunk! I don't want to open a dirty bonnet to get my lead. its tethered at home. and if i charge on street then ill open the boot to get my lead.
Nice car with white technologies.
Nice, but completely unobtainable. VW haven't released a single EV here and suspect we will be subject to a huge price premium over other markets when they eventually do.
Where are you living?
frunk would be good.
ICE is a strange akrinim as using an ICE vehicle melts the ice.
For a car in this price range that infotaimnet system should be much faster. For this price, this car is a no go.
VW cost cutting interior/tech has me immediately writing its new vehicles off. The touch capacitive everything is poor at best. Happy they worked on some of the lag the infotainment system had but still not fully fixed. Not sure how some of there half baled tech ideas of VW made it into there production vehicles.
Good morning, Thomas!
I hope VW come to their senses and move away from #capacitiveBS and toward high quality physical controls. Backlit or not, nobody likes the sliders. Just ask Honda.
Indeed
Not sure why you are reviewing VWs you can’t place orders for the cars due to the supply issues.
So we should only review used cars at this moment?
@@autogefuehl good idea 👍 and cars you can actually order
That joke in the first minute. 🤣
=)
There's no point to any of these ID vehicles until they fix the window switches and dashboard switchgear to be actually usable
One more FL and will be Ok 😉
The GTI / Golf R are the most successful and longest lasting VW models since the Beetle. But VW has done everything possible to kill them with recent poor quality and over complicated needless electronics that can be imagined. And terrible uniformity in dealer pricing in the USA. Looks like they are doing the same thing in this EV. Why not simply duplicated the GTI styling and develop an EV model with the original characteristics of the GTI (performance, handling, reliability at reasonable price). And dont get me started on how VW totally misread the USA market for the Passat and caused its failure by not having the 6 Cylinder engine in a stylish and reasonable priced package. VW wants to be BMW/Mercedes when its American customers want it to be Beetle......not gonna work.
Inside not up to the Kia
I kinda liked the recent VW ICE cars, design wise. But all the ID. cars just don't look good to me at all.
I have been taking for a ride to often by the VAG concern (Touran) i am done with them!!
Why
Hm, backlit (👎🏼) bs sliders?? I don’t think we yet have the technology… 🤪
❤️👍👍😉
God, Austria is beautiful
indeed !
I really love electric cars of Volkswagen but y r they making good looking cars with a less acceleration figures compared to the competition 😡😡😡😡
If not having a frunk means more interior space for passengers, then not having one makes sense. And in a small car, you want as much passenger space as possible. BTW, Thomas always has the best scenery!
Sort of X4 made by VW.
Not a fan of this coupeish style in the SUV or crossover world.
The way temperature and volume are set is simply stupid! Zero ergonomics in that infotainment system!
IMHO, they failed with the GTX model. IF your going to make a GTX is should be able to 0-6 in at least 4 seconds.
Looks like a Jetta that got stung by a bee.
Don’t know why they don’t deal with Lucid since there motors are tiny and batteries range is claimed 500 miles …no brainier . Plus at end the day if the infer structure re charging is not same as Tesla then…. IMO still don’t see the point of electric cars as still got be Convinced it makes TOTAL environmentally sense from getting raw materials to the tech of batteries.
Check out our Lucid Air review: th-cam.com/video/ZWoWdyfGFzg/w-d-xo.html
EVs are cheaper to run, this is a good reason to get one.
hard plastics, capacitive buttons, piano black everywhere… VW continues it’s trend to put cheap VW up! interiors into cars twice the price…
At least it has ambient lighting 😂
Hmm, piano Black is Not Cheap. You need special Tools to get this surface, which is expensive.
And slush skin to have a soft surface is an Energy an with this a CO2 footprint nightmare.
Don't understand why soft is better...it is just Hard plastic, a foam, and plastic foil on top...3 Layers of plastic instead of one...about 15kg more weight for a car.
@@josefv8708 piano black LOOKS cheap.
it’s not lacquered wood, it’s plastic and they never really get THAT look right. also it gets scratched really easily, which makes it look even worse (cheaper), fast. as for soft materials: again, it’s mostly about the look. use fabric, faux suede, metal, anything: but hard plastic just looks cheap. also, haptics play a role, surfaces that you actually have physical contact with - feel nicer if soft.
No clear different between id4 and id5, wonder why vw is doing this
Since all SUVs have a Coupe Version of the same at the Moment...just fashion...any OEM is doing this since the ugly Beast BMW X6 was introduced.
i like the id4 and 6, not a fan of this one
