Volkswagen has an exciting new addition to its 2021 lineup – a small, fully electric-powered SUV called the ID.4. Offering incredible range and efficiency, this compact SUV definitely has VW fans talking. Read on to learn more about the amazing Volkswagen ID.4!

VW’s First Fully Electric-Powered SUV

Winner of the prestigious 2021 World Car of the Year award, the ID.4 is giving electric vehicle shoppers plenty to be excited about. With the capacity to drive up to 250 miles before needing a recharge, this single-motor, rear-wheel-drive SUV delivers 201 horsepower and an impressive towing capacity of 2700 pounds.

Powered by an 82-kWh battery pack, the ID.4 provides a peppy and responsive ride by compact crossover standards. Drivers will also enjoy the smooth handling and comfortable layout of this stylish SUV.

Pricing on the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4

The entry-level Pro model starts at $41,190 and is a great value with a full suite of premium driver-assist features. You will also find some other quality touches (think dual-zone climate control and heated seats) that are often “extra” on competing brands.

For about $4,000 more, the mid-range 1st Edition includes the optional Statement and Gradient packages that would otherwise add a total of $5,000+ to the price. So, if you want these deluxe packages it makes sense to go with the 1st Edition as opposed to adding them as options to the Pro.  If you want leather upholstery and some other luxury cosmetic touches, you’ll need to go with the Pro S model ($45,690).

Features We Love

The ID.4 is smaller than the Volkswagen Tiguan, but still somehow manages to fit in about the same amount of passenger and cargo space.  This SUV can comfortably seat five people with legroom to spare.

We also love the contemporary design of this vehicle, which is chock full of high-tech features and modern design touches. The interior is beautifully laid out, with premium elements such as ambient lighting and power-adjustable front seats that have massage and memory functions.

Range and Battery Life

If you’re in the market for an electric vehicle, then your #1 question is likely “How far can I go on one charge?” Volkswagen says the ID.4’s 82 kWh battery pack will keep you going for 250 miles, which is a very competitive rating compared to other electric vehicles on the market. The battery can be charged on a 110- or 240-volt connection and is also capable of DC fast charging.

Driver-Assist Features

The ID.4 comes with an impressive list of safety and driver-assist technology.  You will find that even the most advanced features, such as automated emergency braking and lane-departure warning, come standard on the base Pro model.

Other features include blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode. LED adaptive headlights are available on the Pro S model.
