Volkswagen has entered the dedicated EV market with the ID.4, one of several electric vehicle offerings they are marketing worldwide. In the US, with its compact crossover design, the ID.4 has already proven to be very popular with the crowd VW was aiming for: an EV alternative to the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, two of the best selling compact crossovers in the US. In fact, it has been so popular with consumers that VW actually has sold out of them for the 2022 model year! With its sculpted lines, distinctive front end lighting, and generous cargo capacity for its size, the ID.4 brings exactly what buyers in this segment are looking for. Plus, a starting price in the low 40s means VW has quite a winner for their first dedicated EV.

A standout feature on the interior is what VW calls “ID. Light,” an interactive light bar that reacts to inputs inside and outside the vehicle, sort of making the ID.4 feel “alive.” It communicates functions like driver assistance features, infotainment inputs, and voice commands. Located where the windshield meets the dash, it’s definitely a unique feature in the EV space. As one of the most affordable ways to get an EV with AWD, VW has offered it in a variety of trims and with a range of up to 240 miles and three years of Electrify America charging included, it’s easy to see why the ID.4 has proven to be so popular.
