Not only is the ID.4 a brand new nameplate for the Volkswagen brand, it's also the first in a series of all-electric models that will combine to create the ID sub-brand.
While all-wheel drive models will eventually be a part of the ID.4 lineup, the single-motor rear-wheel drive models will be the first to launch. The rear-mounted motor makes 201 horsepower but the dual-motor all-wheel drive model will make a stout 302. Regenerative braking helps recapture energy when slowing the vehicle, and the ID.4 is capable of towing up to 2700 pounds. We haven't had the chance to test the ID.4 at our test track but when we do we will update this story with more information on its performance.
Volkswagen says the ID.4's 82 kWh battery pack holds enough juice to power the SUV up to 250 miles between charges, which puts it in the mix with other electric SUVs such as the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Kia Niro EV. Unfortunately for VW, that's far less than the 316 miles of EPA estimated range for the Tesla Model Y. The battery can be charged at home on 110- or 240-volt connections, of course, but is also capable of DC fast charging.
The ID.4 comes standard with a 10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen that can be upgraded to a larger 12.0-inch display with the optional Statement package. Navigation is standard with both displays and we expect popular smartphone connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be standard as well. All ID.4 models also come with a 5.3-inch reconfigurable digital gauge display and voice recognition capability.
