2021 Volkswagen ID.4 Electric Vehicle Review

Design

Go Bold

Clean lines and aerodynamic elements create a striking silhouette–it’s an EV SUV that doesn’t make you sacrifice form for function. And with the optional Gradient package, a black roof, silver roof trim, silver accents and silver roof rails give it a bold look–with 20″ wheels to complete the look.

Get a new view

This expansive panoramic fixed glass roof lets the light in, providing a sweeping view of the sky. It can help keep the light out too, thanks to an electric sunshade that’s prompted with the swipe of your finger.

A brighter future

Talk about a glow up–with LED taillights, and illuminated door handles, the ID.4 practically radiates. And with the Pro S, Premium LED projector headlights and a beautifully illuminated front Volkswagen logo and light line in the grille adds a touch of style to its face.

So good it’s gone

With exclusive 1st Edition badging, stunning white interior accents, contrasting black mirror caps and play/pause pedals – it’s no wonder the ID.4 1st Edition is sold out.

Technology

Range

The Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S and 1st Edition electric vehicles can take you where you need to go with an EPA Estimated Range of 250 miles5. Range for all other versions is not yet available and will vary.

Drive confidently

The addition of all-wheel-drive in a typical SUV helps give the driver more traction. But the Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle is anything but typical. Available all-wheel-drive means getting a second electric motor at the front wheels–giving you quicker acceleration and intelligent handling that distributes all that power where it’s needed most.

Electric doesn’t have to mean sacrifice.

Not to worry, rev-heads, the ID.4 delivers on exhilaration… and then some. From the moment you hit the pedal, you’ll feel the instant torque. And while acceleration is much quieter than a combustion engine, we can’t promise you won’t break the silence with a few oohs and ahhs. This EV shatters expectations, even when it comes to fun.

 Take Charge

Goodbye gas. Hello range.

Hallelujah! Going EV means never getting gas again. It also means thinking about driving differently. You’ll think in range rather than MPG. Instead of filling your tank, you’ll charge your battery. And there are so many different ways to charge your Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle.

Your charging home base

The most practical way to charge your Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle at home is with a L2 wallbox charger (sold separately). Your VW ID.4 will include a L1 charging cable but charging times will be longer than a L2 wallbox.

17,000+ chargers nationwide

Public charging is a great option when you’re on-the-go, and with an ever-growing network of more than 17,000 chargers nationwide, it’s a convenient one too.

Have charge will travel

The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 comes with 3 years of unlimited charging at Electrify America DC Fast Chargers at no additional cost.9 Electrify America chargers can be found along most major highways.
The ID.4 is capable of charging:
-60 miles in about 10 minutes at a public DC fast charger.
-5% to 80% charge in about 38 minutes at a public DC fast charger.

Smarter than ever.

Car talk reimagined

Think of the ID. Light as the way your ID.4 communicates with you. An intuitive light bar that runs across the dashboard, the ID. Light uses glowing visual and acoustic cues to telegraph incoming calls, brake warnings, charge status and more.

Ready to Drive

The ID.4 senses your presence and intuitively starts when you have your key fob and you sit in the driver’s seat, “waking up” automatically. Screens blink on, and the car is ready for the road.

Intelligent by design.

In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags, the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights. It helps react if you might not be able to.

12” Touchscreen Display

Your central hub for your drive, this touchscreen with voice control is equipped with smart features like interactive navigation, climate control and more. So you can get where you’re going, and stay comfortable along the way.

Charge and Connect

Say goodbye to tangled cords with wireless charging and App-Connect with wireless capabilities10 for compatible phones. Whether you need to charge your phone or connect music to your car, you can do it seamlessly with wireless connectivity.

More than an app

Get the most out of your VW with Remote Access11, Emergency Assistance12, remote battery charge, Wi-Fi Hotspot13 and more. And with the ID.4, Car-Net makes going electric even easier when you can check your charge status remotely and find charging stations nearby or en route.
