Assistant

The touch sliders used to control the interior temperatures and volume are unfortunately still present, located underneath the touchscreen. If you hate using them, VW implies you should use the IDA voice assistant, which can “operate with natural language.”

This not only lets you change car controls but can also answer questions by accessing online databases like Wikipedia, and it supports ChatGPT too. There’s a new wellness app in the car, which you might need to use multiple times a day if the touchscreen controls are as convoluted as the last generation’s were.

It’s billed as providing “increased well-being while driving or during breaks” and uses background lighting, sound, and air conditioning to achieve that. Three wellness modes will be available upon launch: Fresh Up, Calm Down, and Power Break.

They can be customized with, for example, a Spotify playlist instead of the pre-programmed sounds. Speaking of which, the ID.3 Pro S now has an optional 480W Harman Kardon 12-channel sound system with four presets and a customizable EQ.

New systems include remote parking via a smartphone app, enhanced Travel Assist with swarm data utilization, which enables assisted longitudinal and lateral guidance over the entire speed range and assisted lane changing on motorways, and an exit warning system that can briefly prevent a door from being opened if a vehicle is approaching from behind.
