Compare the Volkswagen ID.3 Neo vs Volkswagen ID. Polo
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Volkswagen ID.3 Neo and the Volkswagen ID. Polo benefit from cabin overhauls that reintroduce physical buttons and switches, ditching frustrating touch-only controls. However, both hatchbacks also share interiors that err on the dull side, wrapped in dark, plain plastics. For performance enthusiasts, both models have a dedicated GTI version on the way with a sharper focus on fun and thrills. Where practicalities are concerned, the ID.3 Neo is the longer car of the two, yet it is the smaller ID. Polo that actually offers the bigger boot. Deciding between them comes down to whether you prioritise the ID.3 Neo's greater length or the ID. Polo's outright luggage space.
