Volkswagen ID.4
The ID.4 was, after the Mach-E over at Ford, the second mass-market all-electric compact crossover to hit the market in 2021. In the next year those two models will find this field getting far more crowded, however, as the likes of the Nissan Ariya, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and others join the fray.
From Benoit Charette:
Here we have Volkswagen’s first vehicle meant, designed and engineered as a 100-percent electric vehicle. Before it there was the e-Golf, essentially a Golf with the combustion engine switched out for one with an electric motor and batteries. But the 2021 ID.4 is built electric, and it offers a healthy range of around 400 km.
Now, Volkswagen is marketing it as an SUV simply because it's fashionable and more apt to generate sales.
The ID.4 delivers great range and it hits the nail on the head with features like a heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors and heated windshield and washer nozzles. A standard integrated heat pump reduces the dependence of the electric heating system on resistive heating, helping to improve the ID.4's range on really cold days.
