2021 VW ID.4 - ROAD TRIP

EV Channels Review

Tyler embarks on an extensive 1,000-mile road trip in the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition, providing a comprehensive real-world test. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's exceptional comfort, particularly praising the massaging seats and the Travel Assist system for making long drives less fatiguing, despite occasional steering jerkiness on poorly marked roads. Efficiency is noted as a strong point, averaging 3.3-3.5 miles per kilowatt-hour, which is considered superior to the Chevy Bolt on similar routes. The Electrify America charging network is utilized throughout, with the reviewer appreciating the free charging benefit for ID.4 owners. A key aspect explored is the possibility of camping inside the ID.4, with mixed results; while possible, the climate control's limited duration without being plugged in proved challenging, suggesting a need for a dedicated 'camp mode' feature. Overall, the ID.4 is lauded as a favorite vehicle for road trips, offering a comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable driving experience.
