The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 was one of the first of a new-generation of electric vehicles, but it's initial luster has waned quickly as rivals offer more range, more engaging performance and handling, better interiors and less frustrating controls, all for roughly the same money. Still, the ID.4 offers excellent in-car tech, driver aids and tons of space for people and cargo, and real-world range exceeded expectations.

Overview

Volkswagen debuted its ID.4 electric SUV just last year. In terms of size, it's a little bit smaller than the brand's Tiguan SUV. But thanks to the inherent design efficiencies of an EV, the ID.4 actually has a similarly spacious interior as the Tiguan and other small SUVs. It also boasts many of the same attributes, such as a roomy cargo area, available all-wheel drive and a raised seating position.

There are a few changes for the ID.4. First up is a slight boost to the ID.4's maximum range on a full charge. The EPA estimates the 2022 model will go 2-20 miles farther than last year, depending on the trim level. Our test team has yet to run a 2022 ID.4 through our real-world EV range test, but the car's updates should only add to the car's competitive distance. For example, we tested a 2021 ID.4 Pro with all-wheel drive and it went 272 miles on a full charge. That's similar to the results we've gotten from other all-electric small SUVs with AWD.
The ID.4 is also capable of slightly higher DC fast-charging speeds than before, which means you should be able to spend less time at one of these rapid chargers — assuming you're connected to one of the appropriate power output. Finally, VW says it has simplified the charging procedure at Electrify America stations. This is welcome news as we've previously found the process to be oddly cumbersome considering that VW owns Electrify America.
More and more electric SUVs are coming to the market. The Tesla Model Y is essentially a household name at this point, and Ford's Mustang Mach-E is sporty enough to warrant its iconic badge. Other compelling options are the new Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and upcoming Nissan Ariya. Read our test team's Expert Rating below to help you decide if this electric VW is best for you.
What's it like to live with?
We snagged a 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 for our long-term review fleet for a year and 20,000 miles of rigorous testing. We're driving Volkswagen's all-new electric vehicle all over town to find out what we like, what we don't like, and what might be deal-breakers in the one of the latest electric SUVs to hit the road.

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Jonathan Elfalan
Good
7.9
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the ID.4 drive? The rear-wheel-drive ID.4 splits the difference between your average mainstream EV and your average compact SUV. It's quick by SUV standards, needing only 7.7 seconds to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in our testing. Just know that other EVs are quicker still, such as the Hyundai Kona Electric (6.6 seconds) and Tesla Model Y Long Range (4.8 seconds). For a bit more fun, get the all-wheel-drive ID.4. Its dual-motor setup generates a lot more power than the standard model. It's still no electric Golf GTI, but it feels livelier than the base model.
Braking performance for the ID.4 is excellent in panic-stop situations. But the brake pedal requires a little too much finesse to smoothly stop in more casual scenarios. Also, we're disappointed that the ID.4 lacks full one-pedal driving capability. Lifting off the accelerator initiates regenerative braking, but you still have to put your foot on the brake pedal for a complete stop.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the ID.4? This is a comfortable EV. Most notably, the climate control system does a great job of keeping the cabin at a consistent temperature even in the Eco setting. There are even some fun temperature presets to choose from based on how you're feeling. It's also decently quiet. You'll hear some outside and road noise when driving, but the ID.4 proved to be just as quiet in our sound measurements as other top EVs.
The seats are cushy but could use a little more thigh support for drivers with long legs. We'd happily trade the seat massage function for a ventilated seat option, which isn't offered. Ride comfort is OK, but the ID.4's rather soft suspension tuning means you'll feel some pronounced up-and-down body motions when driving over bumps.

Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? The ID.4 has a spacious cabin that's easy to get in and out of. It's also easy to see out of. But we were disappointed with some of the unintuitive controls. Mundane things such as the window controls are way overcomplicated, incorporating a touch-sensitive button to switch between front and rear window operation, instead of just having one switch per window. Indicator lights for many of these controls also wash out in direct sunlight, making it hard to tell which mode you're in. Add in some laggy responses by the infotainment screen and you have a cocktail for frustration.
On the upside, the ID.4 allows you to just get in and drive. There's no ignition or power button to start the car with. You'll also appreciate the driver cluster that moves with the steering wheel, so it's always in your line of sight.

Technology
9/10
How’s the tech? There is a lot of great technology packed into the ID.4. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard (you can still plug in if you prefer), and there are plenty of USB-C ports to go around. There's also a spot reserved for wireless phone charging. If you're not into using smartphone integration for navigating, the onboard navigation system is quite good and easy to use. The sound system won't blow you away, but that's about the only downside here.
All ID.4s benefit from a suite of standard advanced driving aids, from adaptive cruise control with lane keeping to blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The systems proved to be well tuned and useful in our testing, especially in slow-moving traffic.

Storage
8.5/10
How’s the storage? This is one of the more versatile EVs around. It offers a substantial 30.3 cubic feet of luggage space behind the rear seat. The rear seats are split 60/40 and fold forward flat for 64.2 cubic feet of space. This is more than what you'll get from something like a Hyundai Kona Electric but not as much as what the Model Y offers. If you don't need that flat area, you can drop the rear cargo floor down a level for slightly more space. The small underfloor storage area is a great place for the mobile charging cord.
The ID.4's real genius shows in its interior storage accommodations. A smart, configurable center console area with removable cupholders and partitions makes for an ultra-flexible front cabin. The door pockets are generously sized too. And the rear seat room makes this the best mainstream EV for car seats, with easy-access anchors. This is a very family-friendly EV.

Range and Efficiency
8.5/10
How are the range and efficiency? [Editor's note: The following relates to the 2021 ID.4, which is what we tested. EPA range and efficiency estimates have changed slightly since then, but our general takeaways still apply.] Rear-drive ID.4s have an EPA-estimated range of 260 miles for the Pro trim or 250 miles for the Pro S. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive models have a slightly reduced range. In this case the EPA says to expect 249 miles for the Pro and 240 miles for the Pro S.
We ran a rear-drive ID.4 on Edmunds' real-world range loop on a 100% battery charge (a charge of 80% is recommended for daily use), and it went a total of 287 miles and consumed less energy than its official rating at just 28.8 kWh per 100 miles. That's just marginally less efficient than a Nissan Leaf and an admirable result for a vehicle that's quite a bit bigger.

That's just marginally less efficient than a Nissan Leaf and an admirable result for a vehicle that's quite a bit bigger.
Value
8/10
Is the ID.4 a good value? The ID.4's appeal comes from its combination of a roomy size, reasonable price and helpful real-world range. Interior build quality is a bit hit-and-miss — some of the high touchpoint areas are made out of hard, cheap-feeling plastic — but for what you're paying, the ID.4 is well equipped.
New owners get three years of unlimited fast charging at all Electrify America stations, and Volkswagen provides basic and powertrain warranty coverage for four years/50,000 miles, covering the battery for eight years/100,000 miles. You also get two years/20,000 miles of free maintenance, which probably won't amount to much work for an EV, but it's still nice to have.

Wildcard
8/10
The ID.4 has a lot of high points. Features including gesture control, massaging seats, a full suite of advanced driving aids and rear-wheel-drive architecture are just a few of the enticing items. Unfortunately, not everything is executed as well as it needs to be, which can be worse than if they weren't offered at all. But the ID.4 has so much else going for it that most of those issues can be overlooked. Its spaciousness, practicality and a healthy driving range make it very appealing to the masses.
Rear-drive models are relatively underwhelming from a fun-to-drive perspective, but the added power provided by the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model makes things significantly better. And the ID.4 is comfortable during daily driving. As one of the more spacious vehicles in the class with a decent amount of real-world range, it can certainly get you places where fun can be had.

2021 Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition 4dr SUV (electric DD)
First, this is NOT a Tesla, if your primary consideration is to compare it with a Model Y, then you may be disappointed. I bought a ID.4 First Edition. It is a wonderful compact SUV, but its primary target audience is not Tesla buyers, it is RAV4, CRV, and other small SUV buyers. When compared to that group, I feel you can't go wrong with the ID.4. You get a competent, well laid out SUV … that happens to run on electric.
Here are the positives
- Electric range is 250 miles according to the EPA, I have found in real life if you stick to the speed limits you will achieve this easily. Temperature can impact this, but I have found the range to be adequate. Using a 125KW charger at Electrify America, the vehicle can recharge from 5% to 80% in about a half hour. That gives you about 200 miles of range. As a bonus, 3 years of charging at EA stations is included free for 3 years.
- Driving, I enjoy driving this car very much. It is extremely quiet and smooth, acceleration is on par with other small SUVs. Torque is instant and will throw you back in your seat. Since the center of gravity is low, and VW includes wide tires, this vehicle handles better than you would expect. This vehicle is extremely comfortable, the seats have great padding. Cargo room is about what you would expect in a small SUV. My First Edition has a HUGE fixed moon roof that is an awesome feature.
- Operating costs are phenomenal. I live in Ohio and charging this from 5% to 80% takes about 6 hours on a level 2 charger at 40 amps. It costs about $5 and nets about 200 miles of range. At 30 MPG in a traditional SUV that would cost about $20 at $3 a gallon. *Remember you can charge at Electrify America stations for FREE. There is no real maintenance to speak of except routine inspections and air filter changes.
- Technology, here is where I take away half a star. The infotainment system and vehicle controls work well, but there is a learning curve. Don't skip the orientation at the dealership. Expect to take about two hours to go through your vehicle with the dealer. There is A LOT to learn. Once you understand how the system and controls operate, they are actually quite fun to use. Being an early release, there are some obvious improvements that need to be made. One of them is in the navigation system. It is just downright awful. It will add charging stations to your trip as needed, but they often are slow level 2 chargers and not the DC fast charging that would be a better option. While this is a big miss, you can use your choice of third party navigation apps through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Using the Plugshare app, will help you plot charging stations along your route. It is an extra step that I hope VW resolves with an upcoming update. By the way, this car is completely capable of over the air updates. Which means that no trip to the dealer is required to update the software and enable new features.
In summary, I am very pleased that I made the choice to purchase this car. It has exceeded my expectations and I actually look forward to driving it. VW did a great job and in true VW fashion, the build quality is excellent. I think this is a solid choice for someone looking for an electric suv. With the $7500 tax credit, this vehicle is an amazing value. I encourage you to put it on your list and go test drive it.
Move Over, Elon. You've Got Competition

2021 Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition 4dr SUV (electric DD)
We've never been VW fans. Each time we test-drove one, the vehicle fell short of the competition. However, the ID.4 not being your typical Volkswagen, we pursued a possible purchase. We drove a demo, and were impressed. The general consensus from three dealerships was that we'd have to order one to our specs online, then wait for it to be built and shipped from Germany. The fourth dealer … in the area showed one available.
By the quirk of luck, a model (1st Edition) dressed exactly as we would have ordered it was sitting on that showroom's floor. Apparently, the purchaser declined delivery, and we were able to buy it.
For starters, it doesn't look like any EV on the road ... no funny shape (looks just the same as a standard SUV) or cheesy interiors (actually borders on the upscale). Range is just over 250 miles, three years of free charging through Electrify America, $7500 tax credit (provided you owe that much on your return) ... priced fairly (MSRP $45,100, we paid $44,400).
Driving is a pleasure, smooth without being sloppy, plenty of pickup (entered the freeway with no problem), responsive handling, comfortable seating, not to mention quiet. We've also driven a Tesla Model Y ... no comparison whatsoever. If you can get to drive an ID.4, do it. You'll be impressed, too.
Update: After ten months of ownership, nothing about this vehicle has changed our opinion. It remains an outstanding EV. My wife is the primary driver, and raves about it to whomever will listen (and some folks who won't). We have a 220/240 setup in the garage, so charging is not an issue. No regrets about the purchase.
My Favorite Of ALL Car's I've Owned
5 out of 5 starsLee Rothman, 06/21/2021
2021 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S (Statement) 4dr SUV (electric DD)
Considering I've owned 17 new cars since 1969, some of which were premium vehicles. I have certainly had the experience of quality in my driving career. For 10 years I traveled 17 states for a living from Ohio to the West Coast in a 1994 Volvo 850, a superb vehicle for comfort and safety. I never fully intended to visit the idea of ID4 ownership until I happened into my dealer with a … 2020 Tiguan SEL, another fine vehicle. I was however getting very tired of shelling out for gas with the prices steadily rising.
So lets get to the meat of the matter. I took the test drive and found the following. The ride quality and ability to absorb road defects was the finest I have had the opportunity to experience including all of what Honda, Nissan, Mazda and Toyota have to offer having driven them recently. Here's another kicker. The seats were by far the finest I've sat in no matter HOW much the vehicles cost and I'm talking up to $80k cars and SUV's I've checked out along the way. They are so comfortable and adjustable beyond compare. The Infotainment system is much criticized but let me just say that once you've seen a few good Youtube video's on how to customize and use it, it's a breeze, and the sound is darned good for not being a super premium system. The details it provides on the car and all the settings you can customize is staggering but welcome. Another thing that in noted almost immediately was the choice of materials used inside and fit and finish are top flight as in a luxury vehicle. That sure won me over. Every aspect of the vehicles design and operation from the mechanics to the seats and storage is classic German engineering, not the plasticky Japanese inspired stuff. I love the nice 19" tires of my Pro S which also came with about all the added features you can get. The suspension is also remarkable in it's suppleness and also the shear flat handling in corners at speeds which I was not used to. All the safety features work so well I was able to go 30 miles on a rural highway without touching a pedal. The wonderful Adaptive Cruise allowed me to effortlessly follow a car in front of me at a very good distance, and when we came to reduced speed corners my vehicle slowed perfectly to negotiate the turns. I LOVE that brake regenerative mode to drive as I rarely need to touch the brake. It is smooth and NOT abrupt like some seem to think it should be. NO thanks this is great. All the lighting and adaptive front lights keep up with the latest in safety and competency for night driving scenarios. I love the beefy, solid and tight steering wheel and love it's accuracy with NO slop. Closing the doors provide that wonderful solid bank vault type of thunk. The auto up and down back hatch is also a real delight. Storage space is simply outstanding and the hidden compartments are a real joy as well being so cleverly applied. All in all this vehicle is flat out fun to drive and I can't wait to get into it and go somewhere. I'm using only the supplied 110v charging cord and it's all I need as we often don't go anywhere for several days at a time so it's perfect, no need for a Level 2 charging system. I can only say to drive this vehicle is to love it. It rides and handles like a dream.
Game changer for VW, Tesla better watch its back!!

2021 Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition 4dr SUV (electric DD)
Got my ID4 1st Edition at VW Boston last week. I have to say that this vehicle feels by far like the best purchase for value of any vehicle out there if you are looking for a gas-saver EV with good range without settling for a cube/drab looking transportation pods (the case for most EVs out there except for Tesla). First, gas savings. I commuted in my SUV over 200 miles daily. I will … now save $600 a month in gas. Second, I get a $7,500 credit from Uncle Sam and a $2,500 check from the State of Massachusetts for getting an EV. For me, I am essentially net out of pocket zero for the first three years that I get to own this excellent piece of German engineering that the ID4 is. Range: I'm getting about 280 on a charge as long as I keep my highway speed between 60-65. Your range will decrease as you increase your speed. Safety features galore. Anything that is out there the ID4 has. Luxury features, too many to mention. My favorite one: seat massage on both the driver and passenger side. Panoramic Moonroof, CarPlay/Android, Semi Autonomous Driving (car seems ready on the hardware side of things for full auto- software blocked for now to semi-autonomous with warnings and system triggered to brake and park car if it does not detect a driver). Stop and go Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Braking etc. I could go on and on about all the features in this vehicle. Slight negatives, voice control lags 2 or 3 seconds too long something that I am sure will improve over time with over the air updates. Slight negative turned into a positive- tactile touch screen was unresponsive on day one. I scheduled service with VW Boston, gave me a loaner (Jetta SEL-nice car for the the price point), ordered a new computer for my infotainment and I picked up car two days later. Infotainment works great now- lagging is gone and touch screen responds to tactile commands easily. I believe the use of the touchscreen for basically almost every command for the car features may be a little bit of a hassle for those who prefer buttons but I've found myself getting used to it easily over the course of several days. Charging- I've used Electrify America for the fast charge and gotten about the reported 80% in 35 minutes. Did this while shopping at the Home Depot where they had the charging stations in the parking lot. I also get to charge in my condo where we have free charging stations. Btw, VW gives you 3 years of free charging too. If you are looking for an EV mid-size SUV with everything going for it the ID4 I feel is by fat the best choice. I considered Tesla Y, but the ID4 with its German Engineering DNA has a better fit and finish. This VW surpasses all of the companies previous products, more in line with Audi-like finish. My bet is that the ID4 will compete head to head against the Tesla Y and the Mustang EV in sales and win. TY VW you put out a great product. Tesla is going to have to up their game now and this can only benefit all consumers.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4, so we've included reviews for other years of the ID.4 since its last redesign.
