2021 Volkswagen ID.4

2021 Volkswagen ID 4 1st Edition

The ID.4 may not look like the Microbus-inspired ID. Buzz, but it's just as crucial to VW's electric car plans.

Additionally, it's the first of a line of all-electric cars that together will form the ID sub-brand. Soon, a 295-hp ID.4 GTX model should be added to the range.

The ID.4 will only be available in Pro, 1st Edition, and Pro S trim levels rather than Volkswagen's conventional S, SE, and SEL trim hierarchy.

The Statement and Gradient packages, which ordinarily cost $4500 and $1500, are included as standard in the 1st Edition, making it a good deal.

The ID.4's acceleration performance is improved by choosing the more potent all-wheel drive variant, as shown by its 5.4-second sprint to 60 mph on our test course.

The ID.4 handles less precisely than some other EVs, but we still like how quiet the inside is and how smoothly and elegantly it rides.

The battery may, of course, be charged at home using 110- or 240-volt connectors, but it also has a DC fast charging capability.
