Great all-electric SUV for the family.

New '22 ID.4. Great range,(280miles). Fast, extremely quiet. Spacious interior front and back. Charging is extremely quick. 20 minutes while in getting some groceries or a bagel and there's 120 miles of range back in the battery. Best turning radius of any car I've ever owned. The only disappointment is the infotainment system, but that has more to do with my preference for knobs and buttons. Otherwise, this is a great car. UPDATE: I've owned a '22 VW ID.4 Pro for 2 1/2 years and put 34K into it. This car has been 100% reliable. It is the smoothest, quietest car I've ever driven. The seats are comfortable, and the interior is spacious. Edmunds says you hear some road noise. I don't know what they're talking about, maybe its the tires they had on their test car, there's none at all in my ID.4. Additionally, there hasn't been a single squeek, or rattle. The ID.4 is listed as a "small SUV," but it feels large. There's plenty of legroom, shoulder room, and headroom in front and in back. Visibility from all sides is excellent. Power from the motor is smooth and instantaneous. Like Goldilocks, I find the ride is not too firm and not too soft. Handling is great for an SUV; the battery located beneath the floor makes for a low center of gravity. The car has two driving modes, D and B. B provides for one-pedal driving, and you rarely need to apply the brakes. One pedal driving, despite what some say, feels completely natural. I've been getting 250 miles and more of range, it depends mostly on temperature. The sweet spot is between 55 and 80 degrees. Range anxiety, can be a drawback, if you take lots of long trips. Then generally, you have to stop at least once at an Eletrify America station. You can usually expect to have to wait for someone else to finish charging. Once you're on though, the car will charge fairly quickly, from 20% battery to 80% in a half hour and about 200 more miles of range. The biggest negative is the infotainment system, but that's a problem with many cars these days. Auto makers are slowly learning most people want knobs and buttons back on the dash for AC and the radio. But contrast that with the fact that the car doesn't need any maintenance. The warranty requires you to take the car in once a year, where they usually have a software update. Other than that, there are no oil changes, no air filter, no belts, no hoses, no timing chain, no transmission oil or filter to service. With the one-pedal driving and regenerative braking, brakes will last for a hundred thousand miles. Overall this is one of the best cars I've ever owned. The only car I would replace it with if I could is the 1967 Mustang convertible I had back in high school in the 70s.

I was so excited to get the VW Id.4 First Edition!! Unfortuantely this has been a nightmare of a car for me. Since May my car has been in the dealership for 2-4 weeks per visit on three separate occasions for "observations". The problem is that my car periodically stops working and then works again for a while. Problems I have encountered are: the driver's seat totally reclines while driving, the back up screen appears when travelling 45 miles an hour, the entire screen turns itself off, the air conditioning shuts off while driving (a problem in Florida), the windows magically open themselves while I am away from the car and the car sometimes will simply not turn off. The dealership claims they can not find a problem, which is probably correct since the problems do not happen with any consistency. However the problems are real and the VW dealership has not been successful in diagnosing my car's issues. Further I have been in contact with VW Corporate and they continually repeat the mantra that since the dealership has found nothing wrong; the car is good. When I suggest that they take the car back and resell it since their dealership vouches for the reliability of the car, the conversation is quickly changed and they are not willing to take the car back. Very disappointing, I was very excited to get this car and my personal experience has been disappointing, a complete waste of time and a personal commitment never to buy another VW product again. A personal huge waste of time, effort and money!!

Superbly designed well balanced EV at a good price. Loving the white steering wheel, roomy interior, good acceleration (yes not as good as TESLA), comfortable seats. However would like to have Home-Link as a OEM option and not a add on. Overall great SUV that meets all my expectations for performance and comfort. The additional 7500 federal tax rebate is a plus.

There's too much hate in the 1-star reviews and too much praise on the 5-stars. I have been driving this ID.4 Pro from Las Vegas to San Francisco and back, on a regular basis. Yes, it does have some cheap plastics, and the software is quirky, but just like a Tesla, which my wife had before it hit a flashing roadway sign, I would say that the technology is not there yet. You really have to be involved in learning your car if you want to enjoy it. It is, by far, a very quiet and comfortable ride than most EVs and feels more stable that a lot of SUVs in its size category. Range can suffer if you're a lead foot going uphill against the wind, but will do well in city streets and flat to moderate rolling hills. If you're the guy that says you only get 100 miles per charge, you have a very serious issue with your driving, otherwise, you got the lemon ID.4. Range with any car, gas or electric, can depend on so many conditions. This car can do at least 200 miles on a full charge. With gas prices looming towards $5/gal in most places, the free complementary charging for 3 years is a no-brainer. EV charging takes planning so if you don't have the patience to charge, go back to a gas car. Acceleration is better than most gas cars but is just not as exhilarating as a Tesla or higher end EVs. It still gives that "punch" at a stand-still because of the instant torque. Safety features are standard and drivers must not be fully dependent on. The one behind the wheel is still the main operator: remember how you took that driving test. Overall, I think this is a good car. It is not perfect but it has most of the features and capabilities of what an EV can do, plus it does not break the bank. I would give it 4-stars just because it has room to improve.
It’s Amazing…

I’ve owned plenty of EVs from the original Chevy Bolt EV to my Model 3 Performance, and this VW is by far the most rounded option of the bunch! It’s German build quality through and through, and it’s so refined at higher speeds. When DC fast charging, it sustains 100kw+ all the way past 70% soc and is a perfect road trip machine with its reliable fast charging. I think it’s a great fit for most people, and is endlessly practical with room for four adults and weekends worth of stuff. I’ve had a hard time finding faults, but I’d say the audio system is about average, perhaps a Fender upgrade like the other VWs get would be a nice-to-have but now I’m just nitpicking. I bought this to replace my Subaru Outback, and I couldn’t be happier!
