EV Channels Review

This installment of the 'Race to Vegas' series focuses on the Volkswagen ID.4's performance and strategy during a challenging leg of the EV road trip. The reviewer highlights the ID.4's reliable native navigation system, praising its accuracy for route planning, especially concerning real-time traffic and elevation changes. The vehicle's comfort and driving dynamics are noted positively, with the reviewer expressing a strong preference for its interior feel and seating position compared to competitors like the Ariya and Mach-E. However, the ID.4's brake pedal feel and lack of true one-pedal driving are identified as significant drawbacks. The review also touches on the usability of its steering wheel buttons and window controls, acknowledging criticisms but offering workarounds. Despite these issues, the ID.4 is presented as a strong contender, particularly given its attractive monthly lease price, making it a compelling option for daily commuting and road-tripping, especially when run to low states of charge.
