I think all the IDs are bigger than their ICE equivalents, A quick check shows https://www.automobiledimension.com/model/volkswagen/id-3 https://www.automobiledimension.com/model/volkswagen/golf
The golf is longer but the ID. 3 is wider and taller (not by much)
Honestly the fact that I’m having to google this proves your point that the numbers are easier for non experts to understand.
Maybe there’s a compromise where they can call it “ID.3 Golf” lets the golf users know what they need to look at and if they want to go up or down in relative size they can easily do so
I like easy. 😀
That could work, but if it's actually more roomy, it seems a bit diminishing to the car to call it a Golf.
