In a time of skyrocketing oil prices, an electrical vehicle has become the clear choice for many drivers. What's more, four-wheel drive SUVs are also a popular choice in Canada with its unpredictable and sometimes extreme weather. So how can we get the best of both worlds?
As you may have guessed, electric 4x4s are a great solution. If you are not sure which one is worth the price and which one will best suit your needs, you have come to the right place.
VW Lauzon Boisbriand, your dealership near Laval, introduces you to the best 4-wheel drive electric vehicles available in Canada!
After the first model with rear-wheel drive, Volkswagen quickly added a 4-wheel drive version to the ID.4, making this SUV all the more appealing. In fact, the model has already won the World Car of the Year Award, given by World Car of the Year Awards.
Even more, the IIHS awarded it the "Top Safety Pick" designation after a series of vigorous safety tests.
This is an all-new model with an aerodynamic style, but it's not just about the looks! Its all-wheel drive version is powered by two electric motors that generate 295 horsepower, backed by an 82 kWh battery. Moreover, it will allow you to travel up to 382 km on a single charge.
This SUV has a towing capacity of up to 2,700 lbs and a trunk volume of 858 L. Its total cargo capacity is of up to 1,818 L. This makes it a great electric 4x4 for families and for travelling!
Another significant advantage of the ID.4 is its starting price of less than $45,000. This price makes this Volkswagen electric SUV eligible for both government grants, which significantly lowers the bill.
Technology is also onboard with a 12-inch touchscreen, an advanced navigation system and much more. The Statement version also includes plenty of additional features.
Learn all about the ID.4 with your dealer and take advantage of a number of coverage options such as Volkswagen Protection Plus.
Like the ID.4, the Nissan Ariya is powered by two electric motors and features an all-wheel drive system called e-4ORCE. The engine is powerful, ranging from 335 to 389 horsepower with the higher-end versions. However, its range is only 320 km, except if you choose a more expensive version with the 87 kW battery, which increases its range to a much more interesting 426 km.
This is an excellent 4x4 electric vehicle with a successful style and a number of versions to meet personal preferences. It is not as spacious as the ID.4, but it is still a good pick in 2022.
Like the Ariya, the EV6 is an all-new vehicle launching in the new model year. Its starting price is $44,995, so like the two previous models, it is eligible for government rebates; however, the all-wheel drive version costs $10,000 more and generates 320 horsepower.
Its range is estimated at 373 km. The GT performance version is also available, and it unleashes 576 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque. It is certainly an interesting option if you are willing to pay at least $61,995.
However, it is not as spacious as the other models we mentioned, and some people have complained about the limited headroom. This is reflected in its cargo capacity, which ranges from 520 to 1,300 L. This is not a great vehicle if you need a lot of space. It does, however, boast a sporty style and plenty of advanced technologies that are sure to please.
In the category of luxury electric 4x4s, the Audi Q4 is the most affordable option. It is offered at a starting price of $59,950. It is equipped with the same 82 kWh battery as the Volkswagen, so it is no more powerful than the other models with its 295 horsepower and 388 km range.
It is the technology and the quality of the finish that drive the price up. This may include leather seats or an ecological and comfortable material made of recycled plastic. Its style is still very similar to traditional Audis, but with a more modern touch.
If you want a distinctly futuristic design, both inside and out, the IONIQ 5 is exactly what you've been looking for. Its all-wheel drive version cranks out 320 horsepower and boasts a range of 414 km. All of this is made possible by its 77.4 kWh battery.
Its starting price is $56,951, although all-wheel drive is only available on the top of the line-up with Preferred version. However, its base price still makes it eligible for subsidies, which reduces the price quite a bit.
However, despite being a very stylish vehicle, car critics are pointing out that the steering lacks responsiveness and the suspension is a little too firm.
Volvo never does things halfway, and the XC40 Recharge delivers a striking level of luxury. Its comfortable and sleek interior uses eco-friendly materials, and optional packages truly add to its charm, particularly with the Harman Kardon premium audio system.
That being said, this electric 4x4 has a starting price of just over $60,000, so be prepared to pull out your wallet. It is powered by electric motors and offers 402 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of instantaneous torque, but its range is only 359 km.
As we have seen, every vehicle has its own qualities and your choice will depend on your preferences. Although we can't deny that the ID.4 has won plenty of awards that speak for themselves! If you are purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle, be sure to take advantage of Volkswagen financing plans with your dealer in Boisbriand, near Laval.
