rlex Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Would you like a Volkswagen ID.3 convertible? This is what the brand would like to know, before deciding whether or not to produce this version. That's it, the beautiful days are slowly returning, while spring is coming to the fore. And it is true that after several winter months, curfews and restrictions of all kinds, we only want one thing, to go out again and enjoy the sun. This can be seen, as the parks and gardens fill up at the slightest radius, and enthusiasts take out their cars to go for a weekend stroll. And while the good weather seems to be back, convertibles are more and more numerous on the roads, after months of sleep for some. But while the choice is increasingly limited today, while rare models remain such as the BMW Z4 and other Mazda MX-5, a manufacturer is considering investing in this segment, which is however losing ground. It is Volkswagen, which already markets the T-Roc convertible , and which wants to launch a completely different model, even more unusual. quiet, smooth, open: We're thinking about an e-convertible, maybe an # VWID3 convertible.

If the idea seems totally far-fetched, and almost looks like an astonishing bet made during a meeting at the manufacturer, the fact remains that it could gain ground. But on one condition: that the public agrees. Again on Twitter, this time it was Volkswagen's official account which shared an illustration of this hypothetical novelty, then asking for the opinion of Internet users on the subject through a survey. And in view of the first results, they seem enthusiastic to say the least! It must be said that the idea - certainly absurd - of an electric convertible can be somewhat attractive, and could appeal to some customers. A rare species Because discovering zero-emission vehicles don't really run the streets, the latest example being the Citroën E-Méhari, which has not really left any mark in the history of the automobile. For its part, the Tesla Roadster , as promising as it is still has not arrived, and should not do so until next year, although it would not compete with this Volkswagen ID.3 convertible anyway..
