There's been a lot of hype about the latest VW concept cars
and it's time to take a closer look at a fan favorite, the Volkswagen ID.4. The VW ID.4 electric SUV has a lot to offer, which is why we want to
look at all the data we currently have on it. From the VW ID.4 price to the
VW ID.4 range, we will examine necessary details such as performance
specifications, interior features, advanced technology, upcoming release dates,
and more.

We have received word that there will be a VW ID.4 released in
the United States as Volkswagen declined to bring the VW ID.3 to the States
after its European debut. This VW ID.4 model will be produced in Chattanooga,
Tennessee. Currently, we anticipate the official VW ID.4 release date to be
towards the end of 2020 or even into early 2021.
Volkswagen hasn't released the official VW electric SUV price yet or the specific trim levels. There has been speculation of the standard three levels that we've seen on Volkswagen models for years, starting with the S trim. Some projections put the estimated VW ID.4 prices around these numbers:
While we haven't seen the actual interior of the new VW ID.4
set for the US yet, we do expect it to resemble the ID.4 concept interior cabin
that debuted a while back. This ID.4 concept interior featured sliding rear
doors and a retractable steering wheel. There is also plenty of passenger and
cargo space because of the minimalistic EV packaging. Standard features will
likely include equipment such as Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, wireless phone
charging, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a large center touch screen much like the one
seen in the upcoming VW ID.BUZZ.
When the VW ID.4 first hits the market in 2020-2021,
it will only be available as a single-motor rear-wheel drive model. However,
all-wheel drive is expected to come later. The rear electric motor mounted
above the rear axle, produces 201 horsepower. Once VW adds the front electric motor
for AWD capability, this should increase the HP by another 101 horses.
The VW ID.4 EV in the USA will have a 310-mile electric
range, putting it ahead of the Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Kona Electric. The ID.4
will be built on the MEB platform and should have similar MPGe ratings to the ID.3
models. The VW ID.3 comes with 3 EV battery choices: 45 kWh with 205mi range, 58 kWh
with 261mi range, and 77 kWh with 341mi range. That is an estimated 146-153
MPGe rating on average between all 3 batteries. We don't have the EPA-estimated
MPGe yet for the new VW ID.4 but we will update this section as soon as that
information becomes available.
As of now, we do know that the VW ID.4 will measure bigger
than the ID.3, most likely a bit longer and taller for more cargo area space, making
it more comparable in size to the Volkswagen Tiguan. Exact ID.4 exterior
dimensions are still unknown, but the ID.3 is 167.8" L x 71.2" W x 61.1" H whereas
the 2020 Tiguan is 185" L x 72" W x 66" H. The new ID.4 will likely have a length
close to 180-inches, a width around 72-inches, and a height approaching
65-inches. There isn't any word on the exterior color choices yet for the ID.4,
but we expect to see many ID-inspired vibrant color options or duo-tone color
options as seen on the ID.3 and ID.BUZZ.
The new VW ID.4 hasn't been rated by the NHTSA or IIHS
safety organizations yet, but it will come with plenty of advanced safety technology.
At some point, the ID.4 might even include the ID. Pilot, which is Volkswagen's
first autonomous drive mode, relying on sensors and laser scanners to drive
itself. Other standard safety features will likely include automated emergency
braking, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, lane keep assist, and
more non-disclosed driver-assist technologies.
Enthusiasts can't say enough about the new VW ID.4. Car and Driver
states that the "attractive styling should make it a desirable SUV," while CNET
states "VW ID.4 is the production ID.4 electric crossover we've been
expecting for a while." Since this is the first-ever VW ID model to hit the
states, these levels of excitement and anticipation are very much warranted.
