Just wondering why the bonnet isn't longer on the ID3, rather than having the black hump?

Presumably it houses the leaf guard and wiper motors - is it attached to the bonnet or the main body of the car below the windscreen.

Just seems an odd choice vs longer bonnet unless it's a critical part of an aerodynamic design.

Doesn't bother me, I just couldn't see an absolute need for it, except possibly bridging the gap between 2 very different gradients (bonnet and windscreen).

Although that Cupra looks a bit sportier/more aggressive at the front, it looks like Peugeot designed it, reminds me of a 308.

Very handy that slider. I still prefer the look of the ID3, hump and all. That's surprising to me as most of my cars have been aggressive looking VW hot hatches and the ID3 doesn't look aggressive at all (although the front end does look like a storm trooper's helmet in white, so maybe that's the appeal?

If VW are trying desperately to keep Golf sales going strong, why did they make the MK8 look a bit ugly and incorporate so many cost savings? The MK7.is a much better car IMO.

I can't see the appeal of the Golf over the ID3 in the non-performance variants, but someone wanting major performance and driving dynamics is still going to opt for an R or GTI. For every one of those sold they'll need an ID3 sold to offset it.
