Volkswagen’s conducting a quizzical teaser campaign for the refreshed ID.3 that debuts tomorrow. It started with a sketches of the coming subcompact hatchback. As such drawings usually do, they exaggerated the proportions and wheel sizes, revealing small adjustments to the front fascia and inside architecture. Then VW teased the new taillights that element two-aspect reversing segments — a change you would need to have to be deep into the car’s lore to register. Now it is completed the exact with the headlights, publishing a shorter, quickly-paced clip of the optional Matrix units. All over again, we come to feel like we might will need to operate the “Enrich” plan to figure out what is happened the place. And there is certainly the point that VW engineers have now been tests uncamouflaged prototypes in the Arctic, so VW’s exhibiting us the items we now know about.
