2021 Volkswagen ID.4: Here?s a Closer Look at VW?s First All-Electric SUV
The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 is a natural evolution of the VW I.D. Crozz concept we first saw at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. The newest ID.4 compact SUV is VW?s first long-range EV to be sold stateside, and it comes after denying us its first all-electric vehicle, the VW ID.3 hatchback. When you think about it, Americans are head-over-heels in love with SUVs nowadays, and VW wants a slice of the pie with the ID.4 electric SUV.
?The ID.4 was engineered, loaded and priced to win the hearts of SUV owners who are simply ready to go electric – and fall in love with Volkswagen again,? said Scott Keogh, CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. ?It drives like a GTI, it has the packaging of a Tiguan, and the purpose of the Beetle. All the best things about VW in one package.?
What Is The VW ID.4"
The 2021 ID.4 is Volkswagen?s first all-electric SUV. The aerodynamically-optimized body is sitting on the German automaker?s newest MEB platform, making it 4.6 inches shorter than an equivalent VW Tiguan. Despite this, the wheelbase is only 0.9 inches shorter than a Tiguan to offer more room for both people and cargo.
To give you an idea, the VW ID.4 is around 1.9 inches lower than a Tiguan, but it?s also half-an-inch wider. The VW ID.4 is strictly a five-seat SUV with 99.9 cubic feet of passenger volume and 30.3 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats. Fold the seats down, and you have 64.2 cubic feet of space to carry larger items.
