VW ID.4 1ST EDITION - REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition is reviewed as a competent and well-built electric SUV, offering significant interior space and a comfortable ride. The reviewer praises its excellent build quality, ample storage, and the spaciousness afforded by clever engineering, particularly the HVAC system placement. The exterior styling is also highlighted as a strong point. However, criticisms include the placement and perceived waste of space in the central console's cup holders, the regenerative braking system being less aggressive than desired for one-pedal driving, and the absence of advanced driver assistance features on the 1st Edition model. While the handling is deemed surprisingly good for its size and weight, the ride is considered a touch too soft for the reviewer's personal preference, though it effectively soaks up road imperfections. Ultimately, while the ID.4 is acknowledged as a fantastic vehicle that many buyers will appreciate, the reviewer would not trade their Tesla for it, citing personal preference for a firmer ride and a different vehicle type (non-SUV).
