So in this quick video I'm going to tell you my thoughts about the VW ID Three
compared to this the VW E Up because I've got both of them at the moment and I've
spent probably now three or 4000 miles miles driving the VW ID Three and in this
car now probably about 400 miles in the E Up.
So yeah, I'm in a fairly good position
to tell you what I feel about it and it's only my opinion.
I'm not a car expert review or anything like that.
But what I can tell you is
that the VW ID Three feels a lot kind of more chunkier and firmer and heavier.
It's a good car and it's quite fun car to drive, but not compared to the E Up.
I love the E Up.
It is, as I've said in another video, it is my guilty pleasure.
It's just so much fun to drive because
the steering is super light and it feels like you're in a little go cart.
For that reason, I just find it an awful
lot more fun than the VW ID Three to drive, but different deal.
The VW ID Three is bigger,
aims at that kind of three series range of cars.
It's a more sensible vehicle for journeys.
This has limited range compared to the VW ID Three.
I think the VW ID Three is 255 and this is 166.
So this is really more of a car for a city driving, staying within the town.
It's one for someone who just doesn't really go on mega long drives anywhere.
But you can. But you just have to plan ahead.
With the VW E Up, you have to plan ahead.
One of the ways to do that, by the way,
that I found really good is to use Zap Map.
It's a free app that you can get on your phone.
I don't know, pretty sure they do it for Android as well as Apple.
And what that does is it allows you to put
in where you want to go, how many stops you might want to have
on the way, and it will calculate it all for you as well.
So if you put in I have a VWE up, it's fully charged and then it will go right.
Okay.
If you're going to London, you're going to need to use this charger on the way.
You can choose your networks and things as
well that you're able to use and then you can successfully plan your journey so you
don't run out of charge and there's no problems.
So there is that if you didn't want to do a journey in the VW up, you can.
But obviously the Volkswagen ID Three
definitely has the sort of benefit there of that extra range.
Size wise, of course, this is an awful lot smaller.
The boots tiny,
really, just good for a few shopping bags.
That's about it.
Whereas the ID Three has got fair or bit
of space and also in mine, which is the VW ID Three Family Life Pro.
You can take the bottom out of the boot which gives you extra storage as well.
I quite easily managed to get my dog,
which is a Hungarian Vizla, that medium sized dog in the back of the VW ID Three.
I wouldn't even try it in here really.
I think she would not be happy with me trying to squash her in there.
But the seats do go back in this car.
If you ever want to carry anything quite large or it was just you driving around,
you could put the seats down and you'd have a fair old bit of room in the back
there if you need to do a little tip run or anything or you did want to have your
dog in the back, you could, but you'd have to put the seats down if it
was a sort of medium dog really in my opinion.
So yeah, that's my overall thoughts really on the VW ID Three compared to this.
The VW E up.
This is smaller, lighter, more fun to drive.
Hasn't got the range of the VW ID Three.
The VW ID Three is what I would sort
of call a proper car if you like, where you can go anywhere,
journeys without too much worry of charging compared to this and it just
feels a lot more solid and build quality, I suppose a little bit.
This is a little bit cheaper.
Obviously it hasn't got a fancy sat NAV in here like the VW ID Three does.
Has a really nice unit and you can use
your Android and Apple car Play and stuff on that car, but you can't miss the system
inside here is very basic on the infotainment area.
But you know what,
I got it in seconds and that's something else I really liked about this car.
I jumped in and it was like old school buttons.
Everything was dead simple.
You've even got heated seats in this car by the way, which is really cool heated
and the heated front mirror, I mean front windscreen.
I haven't had a car that does that.
It's a Range Rover, so even the VW ID Three doesn't have that.
A heated front screen.
That was a really nice touch this morning because the whole car was frozen over
and it was nice to just press that button and do that.
You've got like a heated steering wheel
in the VW ID Three, which you don't have a niche, but hey,
at the end of the day I'd rather be out of sea than have a warm hand.
Yeah, all the controls in here were just dead simple.
I hooked up my phone on Bluetooth in here in seconds, whereas the VW ID Three
infotainment center obviously does an awful lot more.
But it's also quite confusing and a bit annoying to try and work out and use.
So for simplicity's sake,
I actually really love this car as well and it's got like this cool.
You can't see it but I'm going to do
an interior tour of this so by the way subscribe to this channel if you want
to see more videos about electric cars I subscribe to all sorts of them.
I do it through a company called onto and you can find out more about
that and underneath this video if you want to get £50 off but yeah I'm going to do
another video of this on the inside and some other videos about the VW up if
you want to find out more probably be showing you one at the end of this video
as a recommended video to watch and like and subscribe to the channel if you like.
I'm just a normal guy who just likes
talking about cars when I have them and not a pro reviewer so please do
apologize in advance for the quality of the video and my rambling but I hope
you like it anyway and thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.
Have a great day.
