Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford E-Tourneo Courier or the VW ID.5?
The two are within 24 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 548 mm of total clearance for the VW ID.5 and about 524 mm of total clearance for the Ford E-Tourneo Courier. The VW ID.5 also turns in a 0.5 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford E-Tourneo Courier or the VW ID.5?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Ford E-Tourneo Courier and 84% for the VW ID.5.
