VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 EV SUV DETAILED REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen ID.4 is presented as a crucial model for VW's EV strategy, aiming for mass-market appeal. The reviewer highlights its practical crossover/SUV dimensions, offering interior space comparable to larger vehicles like the Touareg, while being more compact externally. Key strengths include a comfortable ride, good body control despite its weight, and a spacious, practical interior with ample rear legroom. The reviewer praises the driving position and the quiet cabin at speed. However, criticisms are leveled at the interior material quality in some areas, the dated-looking infotainment screen, and the disappointing inclusion of rear drum brakes. The reviewer also notes the '1ST Edition' is well-equipped but suggests waiting for standard models due to cost and perceived tackiness. While the ID.4 performs competently, particularly in its 201hp RWD configuration, it's overshadowed by the anticipation of rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which is expected to offer superior performance and aesthetics.
