VW ID.4 TEST DRIVE AND REVIEW BY MACH-E OWNERS

EV Channels Review

The VW ID.4 is reviewed by Mustang Mach-E owners, who found it to be a competent and comfortable electric SUV, though not without its compromises compared to their own vehicle. They praised its surprisingly tight turning radius, the integrated dash screen, and its compact feel despite ample interior space. The reviewers noted the ID.4's performance as 'zippy enough' and a 'nice level of performance' for many, contrasting it with the quicker Mach-E. However, they highlighted several drawbacks: the brake pedal feel was described as 'mushy' and less responsive, particularly at low speeds, leading to unexpected rolling. The infotainment screen, while functional, was found to require multiple interactions for simple tasks and felt smaller than the Mach-E's. Road noise and bumpiness were also noted as being more pronounced than in the Mach-E. The sunshade for the glass roof was appreciated, but the tint was deemed insufficient on a hot day, allowing significant glare. While acknowledging the ID.4's attractive price point and the benefit of three years of free Electrify America charging, the reviewers ultimately suggested that for those seeking a more premium feel, quicker acceleration, and better range, the Mustang Mach-E remains the preferred choice, especially in higher trims.
