Not sure how this compares to Tesla but certainly lower priced than similarly equipped. Software needs work and UI is not intuitive and slightly buggy. Otherwise it's an amazing car and had a great experience driving 500 miles in a day. Charging network is great in California and never felt I would run out of juice.

I have read the Edmunds review and many EV’s and I drove quite a few, Hybrid’s and EV’s. I decided to purchase the Pro S front drive only ID.4……I would give it a 9.5. It is extremely quick and so fun to drive. It is a solid vehicle and hugs the road like it is glued down. I think if you compare to a $100,000 EV yea there will be a difference in power, but frankly you do not need it. I have owned BMW’s, Porsche’s, Lexus, Audi’s, Infinities and driven race cars. Anymore power is basically dangerous for most drivers to understand and control a vehicle that goes 0-60 in under 5 seconds. I am not sure how Edmunds does their “real world” mileage but using the regenerating feature on the ID.4 when I charge to 100% I have a range of 340 miles! I to me definitely is one of the best looking small SUV EV’s. Many look quirky and down right ugly, as if they are trying not to look like a gas vehicle. Loads of room inside, and I am 6’3 250lbs and have no issue in and out as well as headroom, shoulder room etc. We have a car seat in the back for our 2 yr old grandson and the front seat has room for a person t sit it in it unlike the Lincoln Aviator I used to have! All in all best car I have purchased for a while and enjoy driving of instead of my other $135,000 vehicle.

Have a 2023 ID.4 Pro S with the SK battery and have owned it for a bit over 6k miles now. Absolutely love it, it’s an excellent vehicle, roomy, quiet, comfortable, great ev range and battery charging speeds. Really nothing to complain about, no issues with the car, the infotainment issues are over stated especially with the newer software, the software on this car is just as good as any other car software I’ve tried, never had any issues with it. Cross shopped Ioniq 5, EV6, Mach-E and Model Y and ended up going with the ID.4, the ride in the ID.4 is just excellent better than any of those cars especially the Model Y and Mach-E. The software is not an issue like I said before and the controls aren’t really either, you get used to them almost immediately. The only issue I have is that the middle controls are not illuminated at night, but I got used to it within a couple minutes of driving at night. The value of the ID.4 was also some of the best out of all of those cars, it also has the full tax credit which the Ioniq 5 and EV6 don’t have. The only other criticism I have is the audio system isn’t the best thing in the world, it’s fine but not great. But aside that and the illuminated controls I have absolutely no other issues with the car. I love it. Would absolutely recommend.

Our ID.4 has a good range and is comfortable to drive. That said, there are a few issues that would make me rethink the purchase decision if I had it to do over. A spare tire should be an essential item. One was not provided with our car. An independent tire company told us that you couldn't get one. We called the dealer and found that this was not true. They will sell us a kit, including the tire, wrench and jack for only $700. Wow! I hope that they are managing to make a profit on that. The car has been designed to maximize its range. This is good, but not at the expense of the owner. The front and rear tires are different sizes. You can't rotate them. The rear ones are wearing more quickly than the front. We will just have to change them at different times. Another major nuisance. I just love spending the afternoon in the tire store. There are no 12 volt outlets in the front of the car. I wanted to install a dash-cam, but would have to run a wire to the rear of the car to provide power. It has had a few software glitches. We were on a highway and the four-ways started blinking and the horn was honking. Fortunately no one shot us. We took it to the dealer but they had no idea as to what went wrong. All-in-all, it's a decent car, but it could easily be improved on.

ID4 vs Tesla model Y

I got my id4 pro 12 days ago . In average , I drive about 100 miles a day. I’ve been charging my car 8 times in the last 12 days . I found out that the range is not accurate ! I live in los angeles and it get hot here a lot. when the car shows 140 miles battery left , If I turn on the air condition , it drops down to 105 miles . My previous Tesla model Y used to drop only 7 miles in 100 mile range . keep in mind that when you drive an ev , you always want to have at least 100 miles range before you charge it again. all thought that id 4 looks nice and drive well but Range and charging is very disappointing. I have to bear with it for another 36 months, but definitely this is not a car that I will lease , buy or keep. I hope this review becomes helpful to those who want to make the decision to purchase a new EV car.
