Electric cars, imho, need rear wheel drive/all wheel drive. Preferably rear wheel drive – no torque steer (zero), usually better turning radius, and more traction. The ID3 goes like a horse stung by a bee in sport mode.
Rene, you really should drive the Kona before making guess, as you found, the ID3 has already been a much better car than you expected.
The Kona now is fitted with decent tires, most videos are on horrible Nexans, now they fit Michelin tires, wheel spin is much reduced, but you can get it i’ll admit.
The handling though for front wheel drive is really good, and the performance, well I’d happily watch you in the rear view mirror at the traffic lights if you were in the ID3. Both great cars, and both with things that could be improved, but the Kona is seriously hard to beat on the scheme as everything is standard.
Looking forward to hearing your views on the Kona once you’ve actually driven it.
