The compact SUV ID.4 2024 stands out from the competition, particularly in terms of its efficient range. Since its arrival on the Canadian market in 2021, it has been steadily gaining popularity.
The German electric vehicle has numerous advantages and its many innovative features make it unique. The following comparison highlights the strengths of this electric SUV with other models of the same class. Don’t miss the following for an informed choice!
If the Wolfsburg manufacturer is constantly pushing the boundaries, it does so with the ID.4 in terms of range. In 2022, with the Pro PR engine, the vehicle's range reached 400 km. In 2024, this range is now 443 km.
The ID.4 is delivered either with a 62.0 kWh battery (base engine) or with an enlarged 82.0 kWh battery (Pro PR and Pro TI).
The charging time will vary according to the charging station used. It will be 7.5 hours with a Level 2 charger (240V) and about 30 minutes from 10% to 80% with a fast DC charger (400V).
While the ID.4's range is 443 km, that of the Audi Q4 e-tron is only 380 km. The Tesla Model Y has a slightly superior range in TI trim than the ID.4, but the charging time at a Level 2 station is 25% longer than the German model. The charging time is also longer at a Level 2 station for both the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the BMW i4.
Upon closer observation, the ID.4 offers a highly efficient range and is superior in this regard. This is indeed how the German manufacturer intends to continue, for instance, the upcoming ID. Buzz, with a starting price to come from Volkswagen already displays a range of over 400 km.
The electric VW ID.4 can rely on three powertrain options (originally two), all more efficient than the others.
The base trim (standard range) produces 201 horses and 229 lb-ft of torque. The Pro PR trim (rear-wheel drive) also produces 201 horses and 229 lb-ft, but as we will see, its battery is more robust. Finally, with its two electric motors, the Pro TI trim (all-wheel drive) offers a combined power of 295 horses and 339 lb-ft.
How does the 2024 ID.4 compare to other models when it comes to power and performance?
Firstly, the ID.4 for sale offers you three powertrain choices according to your tastes and needs. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers only two, either in Rear-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive.
Moreover, while the Kia EV6 also offers three choices of electric motors, the base engine is far less powerful (168 horses) than that of the base trim of the German SUV (201 horses).
Finally, the Audi Q4 e-tron offers only one electric powertrain, which remains equivalent to the Pro TI trim of the ID.4 (295 horses).
At the end of the initial comparisons, we can say that the choice of powertrains is very interesting at Volkswagen Canada. Moreover, the ID.4 is often more powerful or equivalent to its rivals.
In a format that's sure to please, the electric ID.4 stands out for its typically German character. Its bodywork and road behavior present a sportier look than many other electric vehicles.
The splendid panoramic glass roof offers a breathtaking view of the sky. With its 19-inch wheels, or 20-inches with the Statement package, it does not go unnoticed.
Even more spectacular, you will have plenty of light. Indeed, a light bar joins the LED headlights and perfectly matches with the luminous Volkswagen front logo. You will even benefit from an illuminated logo at the rear of the vehicle, just like the illuminated handles and a red LED light strip at the rear.
As mentioned, the compact electric SUV has plenty of character, which is not the case for Tesla's Model Y, which looks more like a sedan than an SUV.
Moreover, it's often the details that make a difference. When examining the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4, one notices that it's a very complete vehicle with useful exterior equipment. The Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 still lack a rear wiper, which is quite handy in this category of vehicles.
Finally, in some trims of the Audi Q4 e-tron, experts note that the rear visibility is limited, which is not the case for the ID.4.
Electric SUVs are often chosen for their cargo capacity and towing capabilities. The fully electric 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 stands out in terms of both utility volume and towing capacity.
For an effective comparison, let's examine the following data against its main rivals.
| Model | Dimensions (mm) | Towing Capacity | Cargo Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| ID.4 | Wheelbase: 2,765 Length: 4,584 Width: 1,852 Height: 1,639 |
2,700 lb | 858 to 1,818 L |
| Q4 e-tron | Wheelbase: 2,764 Length: 4,588 Width: 1,865 Height: 1,643 |
2,650 lb | 702 to 1,503 L |
| Ioniq 5 | Wheelbase: 3,000 Length: 4,635 Width: 1,890 Height: 1,600 |
2,000 lb | 770 to 1,680 L |
| EV6 | Wheelbase: 2,900 Length: 4,680 Width: 1,880 Height: 1,545 |
2,300 lb | 690 to 1,422 L |
| Model Y | Wheelbase: 2,890 Length: 4,751 Width: 1,978 Height: 1,624 |
3,500 lb | 854 to 2,041 L |
In this comparison, only the Tesla Model Y surpasses the electric Volkswagen. The Kia EV6 ranks last with a more limited trunk space. The Audi Q4 e-tron does not offer the luxury of a large volume. Only the Ioniq 5 could come close to the ID.4, but it is still far off. In terms of utility volume, aside from the Model Y, the ID.4 reigns supreme!
As for towing capacity, it's the same scenario. Only the Model Y outperforms the other vehicles. The ID.4, with its extended range, holds a favorable position against the Q4 e-tron, Ioniq 5, and EV6.
Aboard the electric Volkswagen, technology is prominent. The Lower Saxony manufacturer provides everything people need. This is already the case with the upcoming new electric vehicle models, particularly the Volkswagen ID.7, competitively priced.
Returning to the ID.4, let's mention that the SUV is well-equipped. Consider the following onboard equipment:
In terms of driving assistance, the ID.4 surpasses many other electric vehicles. Let's mention some features of the IQ.Drive:
When examining the onboard technologies and driving assistance systems aboard the Audi Q4 e-tron, it's clear that the Volkswagen ID.4 gives you more value for your money, notably with the IQ.Drive and also the ID.Light, the 12.0-inch touchscreen, and the intuitive start.
In 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States gave a rating of 9.8/10 to the Volkswagen ID.4 against 9.6/10 for the Hyundai Ioniq 5. This slight lead is due to the ID.4 being equipped with premium safety devices as standard, including parking assistance and rain-sensing wipers, both of which are optional on the Ioniq 5.
The 2024 ID.4, with its extended range, is offered at an initial price of $52,107 (Base). It is available in six trims, each more enticing than the last. The most luxurious trim, Pro S AWD, is offered starting at $64,107.
