The ID.3 is almost exclusively operated using touch-sensitive buttons and surfaces or the intelligent Natural Voice control.

Gross touch buttons!

VW has already announced they’re getting away from touch controls. They weren’t very popular with customers.

VW is also working on an ID.2 (smaller and cheaper) but again won’t sell it in the US.
