If this comes to the US I will trade in my ID.4 for this. Small = sexy.

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
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?
It's a concept car; none of those things are actually known or knowable yet.
I feel like the title of the article should really be future tense.
Fair

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...

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.

Sounds like a model name for American police cars.
VW lost the plot on product names years ago.

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

It'd be a decent deal now, but this launches in 2027, by which point this would be underwhelming.
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.
