    Very nice review their Rene. Looks good in white. It’s making me look again at the ID3, like you say it doesn’t hurt to have a test drive and give it a good look over.

    Yeah, availability assumed, we’ll go for a Max in white and those wheels (they’re the £650 option, the steelies look awful imho and £1200 for 19″ or 1800 for 20″ and a spoiled ride isn’t worth it).

    The boot was actually quite spacious too. It does have a bit of a lip that i didn’t like, but my wife isn’t loading/unloading anything and i’m able to overlook that, so if you decide to take a look, make sure that you check that too.

    Other than that, yeah. Test drive it, and in the end go for the EV that suits you best.

    Very comprehensive review. Both the Kona and ID.3 are good cars and often in the end it comes down to personal preference. I look forward to testing both.

    Cheers, and yes i’d agree. I’ll take back my comments for now about the Konas interior considering how i misjudged the interior of the ID3 – i’m open minded, i’ll book a test drive for the Kona at some point next week, give that a shot, and then stick with whatever we like better.

    Anyone in the market for an EV should drive both before making a decision – even if it seems that you don’t like something, you might be surprised. As i said, we certainly were wrong with almost all our prejudices.
