Car A

Volkswagen ID.3 1ST Max

The Volkswagen ID.3 1ST Max is a compact electric car well suited to city driving and small-family duty, blending lively power with usable range. It ranks strongly for horsepower and safety in its class, but limited cargo space and a 160 km/h cap mean it isn’t for performance or cargo-heavy needs.
