Choosing between these electric hatchbacks comes down to how much character you want alongside day-to-day usability. While the Hyundai Ioniq 3 arrives with sharp styling, Volkswagen has definitely played things safe with the ID Polo's exterior. Inside, both cars retain physical controls for key adjustments, with buttons remaining beneath the screen in the Hyundai and real switches and knobs featured in the Volkswagen.
