It’s important to get buttons and knobs that you use to interact with a car right. You may like doing some things with voice control but I doubt that will be the way most people want to do everything. Sliders look cool but will anyone argue that they function better than buttons and knobs? How many people really like haptic buttons better than real buttons? Unfortunately VW has doubled down on this approach rather than fixing the things that most people disliked about the ID4. To be fair, they gave the car more horsepower and improved the infotainment system, so that was good. But they had to change the infotainment system, they had no choice. I’ve seen videos about the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and it looks like they corrected every thing that people didn’t like about the first version. It’s refreshing to see a manufacturer listen to its customers.
Are you sure about all the standard features you've listed? I thought things like the panoramic glass roof and AR display were optional extras? (on the non-GTX model).
Rather good video but oh my god how irritating those "notifications" about "want this content on your site?" Can you at least display it once or twice per video and not EVERY SINGLE MINUTE??? Please.
Very stylish looking car, great choice of colors and wheels!
Excellent review. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Good info....but video needed to be 30 minutes shorter😅

You’re right. My iD5 Match special edition hasn’t got the pano roof or travel assist
This review is woefully out of date. The style and tech trims have been replaced by just two trims. The base Match and the top of the range GTX.
