I thought Up! and Polo were similar size, so there you go, complete failure of the old naming scheme.
Without prior knowledge, the Up! might as well be bigger than a T-Roc.
But the ID2 is advertised as having as much space as a Golf!?
So I guess it depends if you measure exterior or interior, although I don’t see much sense in measuring on the exterior?
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

And it’s the 2nd point.
Means spacious as a Golf.
I tried to find it in English, but apparently VW doesn’t let you choose language?
But it seems to me the ID3 is obviously bigger than than the Golf?
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

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.
