EV Channels Review
The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 is presented as an affordable EV option, focusing on practicality and comfort over performance. While its 201 horsepower and 250-mile range are deemed adequate for commuting, the reviewer notes a lack of driving excitement. The MEB platform contributes to a balanced chassis and comfortable ride, but the interior's haptic controls and infotainment system are criticized for being unintuitive and laggy. The white steering wheel is a unique aesthetic highlight, though its long-term durability is questioned. The ID.4's rear-wheel-drive architecture is a notable feature, with an all-wheel-drive option offering more power. Ultimately, the ID.4 is seen as falling short compared to the Ford Mustang Mach-E, particularly in driving dynamics, technology interface, and overall appeal.
